Hi -
My wife is (hopefully) about to become a resident alien (this is really difficult these days, good people, gird your loins if you are going to try this). She currently holds both Thai and UK passports. My question: Should she eventually naturalize, which passports become invalid, if any? I understand that losing the right to have a passport may mean giving up citizenship.
Many thanks in advance,
Michael
It not clear in either your profile or your post where you or she lives.
Your post title is UK/USA.
Your post though is Thai/UK.
Can you elaborate please?
plenty of people are dual UK/US nationals so no problem there. except the US will chase you for taxes wherever you live in the world while the UK won't (what is it with the US obsession with taxes).
No idea about Thailand and dual citizenship but if she currently holds Thai and UK citizenship then it must be no problem.
You really need to get answers from government authorities and an immigration attorney. Whatever people may say on this forum may be accurate, but you have no way of knowing whether it is or not.
Many thanks to all of you. I think I get the picture. The Thai don't care if you have 300 passports. This I know from experience. Apparently it is possible, once naturalized, to have both UK/USA passports. We don't plan on working overseas. It's retirement time. But we are building a place in N. Thailand to spend part of the year. My wife, though, will work in both places while I put my feet up for the first time in 60 years.
I know this is Rick Stevens, but I know you folks travel everywhere. Expatriation in general? Clearly it is at an all time high and there are lots of traps out there.
Thanks again and Happy Trails,
Michael
Yes, I will consult an an immigration attorney to confirm. It only makes sense.
