End of work permit options
kiwiaussie replied to 2long's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
24 years and the OP could have been either a PR or a citizen by now, and this wouldn't have been an issue. Sounds like he was totally eligible the entire time. Whatever the case, as others said, get your social security health insurance locked in. You only have 6 months post finishing work to sign up for it (a one off thing too), but at 432 baht per month for near universal coverage, it is remarkably good value. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-social-security/ -
If he enters on the Thai passport, he'll have to leave on a new valid one. Make sure you'll be able to renew his PP in Thailand and have all the documents with you to do so. Otherwise he'll be stuck here. That will mean being registered on the Tabien Baan, and ideally, having an ID card if aged over 7.

yes it appears so! -
Honestly, if you are starting from zero now preparation now, I wouldn't bother. You are going to need notarisation and police records from your home country, documents and tax returns from your HR, plus time to have the PR desk check them all, vet them. You normally have to get the ball rolling well before the offical announcement. Given you are married to a Thai citizen you can skip PR anyway for roughly the same qualifications. Paperwork is much easier and it only costs 5,000 baht (vs 98,000 for PR). You can apply all year around too. No need to choose nationalities and the Thai language test is waived for married applicants. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-citizenship-application-process/

Thai with expired passport
kiwiaussie replied to BenStark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
She entered on her foreign passport, she should exit on it. If she's under 15, no stress, as their is no fine. You should always enter and exit thailand on the same passport. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/traveling-as-a-dual-citizen/ -
Story Of My Thai Citizenship Application
kiwiaussie replied to dbrenn's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Curious to understand what makes you say that? A certified copy from SB of the RG seems to work pretty well. In any case, once you have an ID card, its never asked for again. -

Son with thai and EU passport??

You didn't read far enough. There is a Q&A section down the bottom under the article and 'passport swaps' are addressed there. -
Son with thai and EU passport??
kiwiaussie replied to beammeup's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As others as said, he won't be allowed to swap passports at land borders. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/traveling-as-a-dual-citizen/ -
Swapping passports at borders does not work. Repeat, does not work. Border guards on both sides look for stamp trails and don't like it if they are in separate passports. It only works in the air, so she'll need to fly down to KL, Singapore or Phnom Penh and fly back into Thailand on her Thai passport. As said, save yourself the heartburn and just front up the 1900 and get this visa. She just shows her ID card and she'll get this visa no worries. Next time she flies out she can do the passport swap.

VISA for 5 year old child
kiwiaussie replied to glegolo18's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If the mum and the child both entered on foreign passports they are both subject to Thai immigration rules. The mum will be fined for overstay despite the fact she is also a Thai citizen. Strange but true. The child also should get a visa, but will not be fined for overstay until the age of 15. Both of them can easily get this yearly extension of stay stamp in their swedish passport simply by showing proof of Thai citizenship. Next time, they should just enter on their Thai passport to save any fuss. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-ancestry-visas/ -
Thai birth certificate
kiwiaussie replied to capin's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thai's born overseas go through life with two birth certificates. Their foreign one, and a Thai one issued by the Thai embassy in the country of their birth. It literally is a birth certificate (as opposed to what others have said here). It is just slightly different format to the ones issued in Thailand. You can read about it here. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-citizenship-when-born-overseas/
