What do I need to move to Thailand if I was born there but raised in America?

Thai ID card and Thai passport for a start

Birth certificate

Look for any of your Thai Citizen Mother's Thai documents, particularly her Thai identification documents:

her Thai Passport, her Thai ID Card ( บัตรประจำตัวประชาชน ), her Thai Birth Certificate ( สูติบัตร )

>

I would suggest coming to Thailand with your American passport and while in the Kingdom make it a goal to visit the city your born in and going to tbe proper local agency to get a copy of your Birth Certificate

You need to show a Thai ID citizen card if you prefer to avoid getting a visa to live in Thailand. And as you know, it is quite annoying to get a visa at different time. Have you got it?

Then you should have Thai citizens already. My kids have both nationalities

What does it say your place of birth is on your US Passport?

A shit load of money

An airplane ticket?

You’re going to need at least a Thai birth certificate that says you are Thai . If you have that then you can begin a very very very long process. Was mother or father Thai ? If not were they permanent residents at time of your birth?

You can dm me. I was born in udon thani and live in the states. I just got my Thai id card and passport last month. There’s some hoops you have to jump through and I can tell you the process. If you were born in Thailand you are technically a citizen but the hard part is proving you are the person on the birth certificate.

Financial security

It depends on whether you still have Thai citizenship.

Since you were born in Udon Thani, Thailand, and later grew up in America, the first thing to check is:

1. Are you still a Thai citizen?

If you were born in Thailand and at least one of your parents is Thai, you usually still keep your Thai citizenship unless you officially renounced it. Thailand generally allows dual citizenship.

If you still have Thai citizenship, the main things you need are:

* Thai birth certificate

* Old Thai ID card (if you had one)

* Old Thai passport (if any)

* House registration (Tabien Baan)

* Thai relatives who can help confirm your records if needed

Usually the process is:

1. Restore your Thai documents

2. Get your Thai ID card

3. Apply for a Thai passport

Once you have these, you can live and work in Thailand without needing a visa.

If you only have U.S. citizenship, you will need:

* A valid U.S. passport

* A suitable long-term visa (retirement, work, marriage, education, or business visa)

* Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering Thailand

Well a passport would be a good starting point guess either Thai or USA. Not sure if you are allowed dual passports in either country. All it says is Thailand discourages dual citizenship, so I would ask at Thai Immigration choosing what you say very carefully

If you have birth certificate. Go to the district you were born. Make id card and passport. You will need to get out off Thailand again and enter with your Thai passport. Then you can stay.

Use your Thai passport when entering or go out. Show both passport when you want to go back to the states at check-in.

But only use Thai passport at passport control. When you are in us only show the us passport.

I have danish and Thai citizenship. Did the same thing.

Very important you get out off Thailand once you get Thai passport. As your passport from us will be banned if you stay longer then visa.

You will need to bring a parent, and a relative as a witness

Money 🤗

What ever parent is Thai get their documentation,ID ,passport birth certificate and contact the closest Thai Consulate

If you have a Thai parent you can get an ancestry visa while you sort out all the paperwork. As others have suggested go to Thai citizenship group.

If you dont have Thai heritage then you are same as any other foriegn citizen.

Edited added link for ancestry visa as some numpties dont believe they exist

Thailand ancestry visas | Thai Citizenship

I have a Thai friend with a child born in Australia, with Australian father. The boy was easily able to get Thai I.D. and passport.

Youre pasport

Sorry, but all the people here saying if you were born in Thailand then you're a citizen are wrong. Thailand doesn't have birthright citizenship. What matters is if one or both parents are Thai citizens. If so, then it doesn't matter where you were born, you are a Thai citizen. If your parents got your citizenship in whatever country you currently live in, then you are a dual citizen. You just might have to get your documents in order. If not, then you are not a citizen. I think I saw you say your mom is Thai. If so, you just need your documents to get a Thai passport, then you can move to Thailand. I saw someone post a link to thaicitizenship.com . That website has lots of resources to help you get the documents you need. If you are able to visit Thailand on a passport from whatever country you're currently living in, it would probably be easier to get all your documents when you're in Thailand. You might even be able to get the Thai Id and not have to leave if you're diligent. Best of luck!

Must have one Thai parent my kid was born in Thailand with two American parents and he is called an american-born abroad but if one parent is Thai then they'll get dual citizenship

Over $ as a minimum in saving for the visas and a good remote job not utube planning doing it myself in 2 years time .

If you were born in Thailand hope you had birth certificate and you can bring that to your local district office where you registered birth certificate and you can ask for ID card that all done but I think you need bring one of your parents and the person who’s the house owner, where is you had your name on in those house

If you don’t have birth certificate with you or lost you need your parents documents and you need to proof that you’re their child and you’re Thai also your Thai family can help you too

And In the local district office will be able to help you with more details.

That's an easy question that embassy would answer accurately , you don't need to ask facebook , friendly advice..

A good sense of humor!

If you were born in Thailand, start with a Thai ID—I did it. After that, passport is easy and you don’t need a visa… update: must have Thai parents

If you have a Thai ID and Thai passport then all you need is a plane ticket

If you were born in Thailand you're entitled to a thai citizenship I would assume

do you have a Thai passport? This would make entering and living in Thailand easy. No visa or stay permit needed. Of course you can only get Thai citizenship if one of your parents is a Thai. It doesn't matter where you were born

Where you were born doesn't matter.

Are you a Thai citizen? As in you have Thai ID card and Thai passport? If yes, then you don't need anything to move to Thailand.

If you are not a Thai citizen, then you need a proper visa.
