Thanks that would be the perfect scenario if I am able to. It's why I am asking if anyone has gone through my situation. I know others have gone through it before. I can't find any info online unfortunately. Some say no it's not possible. Some say it is. Nothing definitive

@Bent ************

Yep I am understanding that now. But I can renounce it if I choose to. If given the choice and able to I'd take Thai citizen over US at this point in my life. Fact remains I was born in Thailand as stateless prior to fleeing war

@Brandon ***********

I agree but if that's an option I'd be for it. No different than renouncing and deported back to country of origin

@Michael *******

Thank you so much

@Ning *****

Thank you. I will try that group. I was directed here from a Thailand expat group

@Cole ********

Thank you. Sound advice. I'd be willing to renounce my US citizenship if I can obtain Thai citizenship. My scenario falls into the grey area which makes it all the more difficult to get any sort of answers. I am still stateside so I will contact a Thai immigration lawyer here first to see what my options are, if any.

@De ****

To be honest I am tired of the high cost of living in the US. I still have family in Thailand and want to retire and go back to my home country. If I can avoid the visa nightmares and buy land, work in Thailand that is my preference. I have nothing keeping me here in the US. Single no kids.

@Graham *****

You're right. Although born stateless, I am no longer stateless. However, if I renounce my US citizenship I will become stateless again. I guess my question is if it would be any advantage to me being born in Thailand as a prior stateless person to obtain citizenship. I know it's not allowed for foreigners even if born there. My family had lived in Thailand for generations prior to the Vietnam war.

@Brandon ***********

You bring up a good point. Both US and Thailand allow for dual citizenships though. I have had Thai Americans obtain their Thai citizenship here at Thai embassy though. Of course them being Thai blood and have never set foot in Thailand. According to this recent article, it seems that the Thai gov is making it easier for stateless people to obtain it 2
