thai/usa to stop dual ceitisenship

[aj 62]

wife's good friend in government inform her that as of jan-1 2017 that immigration at airport is going to start

working with USA to check for dual citizenship. They intend to start enforcing the one citizenship Thai or USA.

Not sure of other countries but heads up for those who have wives with 2 passports. I am not sure how they can

check since my wife never volunteers anything. Only on departure would it be possible as is needed to board US bound flights.

This could get sticky for people like my self who owns property thru thai wife as non thai citizens cannot own property.

I have seen or read nothing in bkpost, nation papers or other forums. Anyone heard of this yet? enforcement that is

as law has always been there.

As stated, it does not seem likely. The U.S. position is that dual nationality can happen depending on the laws of the respective countries and is not a matter of great concern.

The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a national of two countries at the same time. Each country has its own nationality laws based on its own policy.

. . . .

U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one nationality or another.

 

 

I won't say that the U.S. couldn't inform another country that certain people had naturalized but it would probably have to be with public notice that it was going to do so as it would be the disclosure of information about U.S. citizens.

 

I won't pretend to know the Thai law on the subject, but the ground truth seems to be that Thai consulates have no problem with issuing new passports to individuals who had them in the past.

 

Checking at the airport would require either airline staff looking for admission stamps on the U.S. passport or a real time interface between the airline and Thai immigration computer systems. I doubt there would be any great enthusiasm about that on the part of the airlines.

back in USA for holidays visit family. This will take effect July 1 2018.

How is the question. The same way they did bank accounts it will only effect those after

that date. The USA immigration will notify thailand of those getting citizenship

newborns as well. this only effects USA no one else at this time. Friends at immigration here say it

has made more thai nationals getting USA citizenship. Still remains if they will seize property or not as none thai citizens cannot own property.

We will see come July.
