Michael Dawson No! He is not as sane as another foreigner! His mother is Thai , he is a Thai person.

By the way there is no such thing as ancestry visa!

Nita Califano only if you were issued Thai birth certificate! If the American born aboard certificate he will not able to.

Toby Shaw Thai embassy will not be able to do any thing about it . He need to go back to Thailand ( to where he was born, to be exact) and starting from there. It’s involving getting his mother’s relatives and the head of the community.

Nita Califano No, he is right just born in Thailand won’t granted Thai citizenship but if born to a Thai parent, yes!!!

@Thongchai *****

again, please confirmed that it is your Thai birth certificate? Not the consulate American version of birth certificate?

@Thongchai *****

have your mother goes back to where she registered your original birth certificate and go from there . It’s really easy steps since you are Thai from birth! If the language is not a problem you can do it yourself

To confirm, it IS the Thai birth certificate?

Thongchai Lioy At the time you were born I assumed that you issued a Thai birth certificate? If so you are Thai and do not need to do anything to get the citizenship. Just got your documents together. I’ve help an American Thai whose circumstances are similar to yours and familiar with the process, feel free to contact me for further information.

On your Thai birth certificate there the 13 digit number, that’s equivalent to the SSN here in the US. With that number you would move very smoothly getting your Thai ID/Thai passport .

Leroy Brown calm down !!! 8-12 months for 4 people; foreigners to be exact! But don’t have $17,000 in saving !??? I stand my ground, if you do not have as low as $17,000 DO NOT move to Thailand. It’s the visa requirement by the law anyway Mr big head!!!

You are blocked., useless person

Back when I applied, have got mine without any issues. The applicant’s credibility is what the determination of approval or denial. I was in my mid 20’s then, solid family background including financial status. Being so young with two young children and family obligations the staff knows I would not risk not to returned .

Brian Brick Not just right now!! It’s been that way for ages, look at the numbers of the illegal immigrants from Thailand you’d know.
