I was born in Udorn Thani, but raised in America. My mother is Thai. What would I need if I want to move to Thailand?

Can anyone provide help. I'm the adult child born to Thai citizen whom was married in Thailand to my Active duty, American father. My mother had always maintained her Thai citizenship. I was born in England on a US military installation. I am looking to attain my Thai birth right citizenship, however both my parents are deceased. I have my own Birth certificate from the UK, and my mother's passport. I can obtain both my parents death certificates, however do not have now. I contacted the Thai consulate in the US and Uk. They have stated i need to obtain my parents marriage license and her That birth certificate, and my father's birth certificate. As my parents and parents on both sides of my family are deceased, i do not know where to begin. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am Italian citizen (I was born in Thailand and i started the process to get my local ID card as i never got one, going slow the burocracy), coming to Thailand with my girlfriend (not married yet but planning to) and our daugther, both Spanish citizen. We are coming first with a tourist visa of 60days and will make extension of other 30days. We want to settle down there, planning to run a business as small resort or a café/restaurant. What would you suggest as the best way at the beginning till i will obtain my national ID to stay and work legally in Thailand? Should we open a company? As Thai names I can have my mother and other friends as well that I can surely trust.

Thanks in advance for any informations or recommendations.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get a Thai ID card without my Mother present? I currently hold UK passport but wanting to apply for Thai ID/Thai passport.

Hello everyone. I’m moving back to the Kingdom, my birth country from the US in September and I hold a UK passport. I’m going to be looking for land to buy and steward with organic, regenerative and permaculture practices. I also want to build a hempcrete house for my Thai Mum. I was going to enter with my UK passport and a tourist visa whilst waiting and working on getting my Thai passport back once actually back in Thailand. I did have a Thai passport but my parents didn’t bother to renew it when I was about 14 (If I need more time for this than a tourist visa allows, I plan to get a 1 year education visa as my Thai is not strong enough anyway and currently already have my Thai tutor I’m working with)

Seeings as I haven’t been able to get back for about 6.5 years whilst working and saving hard to live mortgage free, I’m hoping to get advice on the following please -

• Should I bother shipping all my power tools? (I have a rather large and expensive collection of high quality power tools which is everything I need to build a hempcrete house) I’m thinking of selling them all to avoid taxes and then buying again in Thailand, but would rather not as it took me several years to build my collection.

•What are the most useful and practical things you wished you would have brought with you from your home countries when moving? I’m finding the decision of what to sell and what to pack rather difficult 🤔 I want to condense my "personal stuff" to just a few boxes.

•Is there a shipping company anyone would recommend that will ship about 10 large-ish boxes? I contacted Seven Seas shipping but they won’t ship my items from the US without a valid 1 year visa which I can’t get until I leave the US and return to the UK? Should I just post all my boxes separately from the US and mail to a Thai friend in Bangkok through normal post, rather than shipping it altogether with a shipping/relocation company to get round this?

•what’s been your experience with shipping to Thailand? Is there anything you wish you would have known before or have learned and would kindly share? Anything I should avoid shipping altogether because of ridiculous tax? Is air better than ocean freight?

•I need to ship my dog over but the petexpress in the US quoted me $7000 to ship my 55lb dog. Is it worth paying this for the extra service?

•Is there anyone out there with like me who has got their Thai passport back or do you know anyone that can help? I was born in Thailand to a Thai mother AND father but then moved overseas at a young age to a British adoptive father. I contacted Siam Legal but they won’t help me, they said I have to go to the Embassy in Bangkok? I’m finding it hard to get advice and in my research comes up all about visas and not passports.

Ufffff I’m finding this entire process very stressful and would appreciate you sharing sound advice and experience?

Thank you, Ka.
