Losing Foreign Nationality In Thailand

Featured Replies

This, so far, is a hypothetical situation, so don't put yourselves out to answer.

Consider the following circumstances:

1) a dual national (Thai, and, say British) enters Thailand on the foreign passport, not having a Thai passport

(very common occurrence);

2) loses his non-Thai nationality while in Thailand (rare, but not impossible);

3) and is listed by the US as a probable terrorist and therefore not to be trusted on an aircraft.

Can he change from stateless to Thai by getting a passport and then doing a land-border run? I had thought he could, but another post suggest that changing active nationality to Thai by doing a land-border run is not allowed. I presume he could not get extensions of stay in Thailand on a cancelled passport!

As you say Hypothetical and not worth the Headache,the crux of the matter is: you can't second guess either Thailand or the UKs take on this unless you ask them.

Can he change from stateless to Thai by getting a passport and then doing a land-border run?

A dual Thai/British national who loses his British nationality will not be stateless; he will remain a Thai national.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place

 

USELESS DRIBBLE!!!

No fly list is for flights to the US and flights with US-airlines, it is AFAIK not for flights to neighbouring countries with a regional low budget carrier.

A person with Thai nationality entering on a foreign passport is subject to immigration control, but can not be thrown out. He would jus show is Thai ID-card or passport if police wants to check. When leaving the country, he would pay a fine of 500 baht per day with a maximum of 20,000 for being on overstay.
