OUCH!

Oh yes I believe this!! My Thai wife has told me many time, She will cut it off for sure and then goes on to tell me how her aunt dumped a pot of boiling water on her husband for have an affair. My wife is very jealous even just looking at other lady and I can see it is my wife's face.

If I had to choose, I'll take the hot water.

MMM now that is a good question. How many Thai's are giving up there Thai naturalization and switching to USA. As of right now my wife said she would not give it up. She love the king and Thailand and does not want to switch. I guess I have to look at what is the differences.

You can have dual citizenship. She doesn't have to give up her Thai citizenship.

That is correct, dual nationality is an option. She can leave America on a US passport, enter Thailand on a Thai passport and return to America with the US passport.

This is a concise explanation:

I hear you Anya. The amount of documentation required is ridiculous! It's like we never submitted any paperwork at all, and have to start all over again, as if filing for an I-129!!!

It's like how many times do you need your finger prints taken, anyway? Aren't they supposed to be unique?!

I read this "A Thai woman who marries a foreign national and acquires her husband's citizenship has technically lost her Thai citizenship. Should the marriage end in death or divorce, the Thai national woman could regain her Thai citizenship. This is an unofficial dual citizenship designed to protect female Thai nationals."

I read that in a couple of place and also read that our son is Dual up to his 18 birthday and then he must pick Thai or USA.

Now I will have to look where I found that.

Nope. She will always be a Thai citizen, unless she causes some problems against the Thai govt. Thais never lose that.

OK found it ! You where right they where wrong haha

Thailand’s Nationality Act B.E. 2508 as amended by Acts B.E. 2535 No. 2 and 3 (1992)

Chapter 2. Loss of Thai Nationality.

Section 13. A woman of Thai nationality who marries an alien and may acquire the nationality of her husband according to the nationality law of her husband, shall, if she desires to renounce Thai nationality, make a declaration of her intention before the competent official according to the form and in the manner prescribed in the Ministerial Regulations.

Bottom line... as long as your SO maintains a valid Thai passport, even if they choose to become naturalized... they can still enter Thailand on their Thai passport, and enter the U.S. on their U.S. passport. Neither country is checking to make sure that person gave up citizenship to the other.

I would like to know where you read this so i can read it to. I'm hoping to pass our property in Thailand to our kid one day if this is true.

it is hard to say if he does or not. Some forum say as long as he does not live in Thailand from 18 to 30 he does not have to. Others say as long as he is not in the blue house book. Which my son is in my wife's family blue house book. At this time we do not have a Thai passport for our son, only an American one. Next time I talk to my wife I will ask her to ask her aunt to check, she works at the local amphur.
