I did. But it's been a while. I think I used my credit card statement as address proof (showing my address in english offcourse) Also, make note that you need USD 25K minimum balance for the Schwab international account.

Yes. I think it's time for all newly minted thais to accept that they will always be foreigner in eyes of thai people, albeit with a Thai ID Card. So just accept this fact and move on with your daily lives. There are a significant minority of Thai Indians, born and bred in Thailand since last many generations but they are still be considered Indians, with a thai ID card.

The old blue PR book is kept by them.

No issues whatsoever, just keep returning before your re entry permit expiring day, get a new re entry for another year and leave again. You can do it all your life.

Thank you for the detailed insight and really seems that it was a masterstroke to use an agent, but they were an exception, not the norm, of the agents available currently. Out of curiosity, were you able to reinstate your PR since you were out of the country during COVID? If yes, if you could tell your experience here, may help somebody else on the same situation.

Hi Guys, Is the Re-Entry Permit office at Don Muang Airport still working these days? If so, what's the location of it? Before immigration or after immigration?

No. Permanent residents are still required to register for Thailand Pass and with appropriate insurance.

Tomorrow I'll go to the same process at BKK embassy. For the verified passport copy, do they copy the original passport themselves and verify it? Or they verify the copy which comes with santiban letter addressed to them?

What's the procedure to take your thai car in to o smach ?

They also send some documents to your embassy that verifies if your passport is genuine etc, this is what the SB guy was telling me yesterday as I went there. I am applying citizenship along with my minor children, one of whom is a US citizen, and the SB guy was telling me that he'll prepare letters for the embassy, for them to verify the passport etc. I am assuming I would need to take this sealed letter to the US embassy myself, but as you are saying that the sealed letter includes just the intention of renunciation, which in my minor child , certainly shouldn't be the case.

That's a new information for me. Did they refuse to accept sealed letters from SB as such, which asks them to verify if your passport is genuine etc? Or it was just the intention of renunciation on affidavit which they were not willing to do?

It's just the intent to revoke. You just write on the affidavit of the US embassy that you intent to renounce your US citizenship once you become thai citizen, put any wording bla bla bla and the consular officer will stamp and sign that's it. It's just an intent which may change, you are not actually renouncing your US citizenship. You got nothing to lose here. It's just a cumbersome requirement imposed by the nationality department to inform embassies of certain countries who don't allow dual citizenship.

What documents you needed to produce? Was TM30 required? Embassy letter required?

I would like to know if there are any good hospitals/schools who diagnose autism and offer therapies in Bangkok. I have searched the forum but didn't find much info. I'll be thankful for info.

Congrats. Did you have to sing both national anthems as being a PR? Or did you apply based on thai wife? I am also a PR and will apply in next year.
