Re: Expat aquiring Thai Passport
Thanks for that. I was just going from memory and haven't looked at the latest amendments. I'm sure you're correct. I do remember that the rules for foreign men and women were made more equal. But are there any pros and cons - for a start does this mean that you have to give up the citicenship of y...

Re: Dual Citicnship for Thais in Norway
