samran Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I have Thai Australian dual nationality, by birth, and it has never been a problem. I just posted on another link, instructions from the Thai embassy in London on how to use dual passports. I guess it is an explit admissoin that it is possible. Check out point 5 of the following link. http://www.thaiembassyuk.org.uk/e_passport_th.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Thailand does not officially recognize dual citizenship. But, as with many countries, there is no law against it. So, unless you ask to lose your citizenship obtaining another is not going to be a problem at the Thai end. In the case of the US it will not be a problem at that end either. Go for it.

Thai passport for Thailand, US passport for US. Homeland Security will not chase you around the world insisting you did not abide by your oath.

boppia Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 The King was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. you should know this if you are Thai but of course its not advertised. So at least for a moment he must have had US citizenship. Don't knock the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinny Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) The King was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. you should know this if you are Thai but of course its not advertised. So at least for a moment he must have had US citizenship. Don't knock the US. As a member of the Thai Royal Family, his father probably had diplomatic status in the United States. He would not have been subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and therefore would not have acquired US citizenship at birth, in accordance with the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

boppia Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Excellent post Vinny. Mystery solved I would say. Now do you know if Thaksin's son has American citizenship? I believe I read that in a Time or newsweek magazine years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Now do you know if Thaksin's son has American citizenship? I believe I read that in a Time or newsweek magazine years back. Good memory. It may have been in Time Asia (AUGUST 13, 2001, VOL.158 NO.6). For more on Thai Dual Citizenship, see also Dual Citizenship Is Illegal, According to Forum discussion in Pantip.
