Hello all!

I am looking for feedback on foreigners who attempted to be a Naturalized Thai Citizen, and would like to hear from this experience. 🇹🇭

[members only]/

I have some of the requirements already, learning Thai now and on the way to have the other requirements.

For the people who already did it, I am looking for some feedback:

* I know that you need to be able to read, write and speak Thai perfectly. I am learning Thai now for several months and have a long way to go surely. But I am just wondering how strictly this rule is applied, and curious if there is any corruption involved here as in the immigration 😅😅

* Any other feedback/recommendations would be welcome.

Answer summary

A user seeks feedback from foreigners who have attempted to become naturalized Thai citizens, specifically about the language requirements and the overall process. They express concerns regarding the strictness of the Thai language proficiency requirement and inquire whether corruption is involved in the citizenship application process. A comment suggests that the high costs and strict government oversight make citizenship not easily attainable without meeting strict criteria.

If citizenship was as easy as buying it, you would see a lot more foreigners that become naturalized. It's already an expensive application. This process goes up through the highest levels of the government, through people that don't need your money.
