Dear readers,

A Thai friend who has been living in the Netherlands for 17 years would like to visit her family in Thailand. She has a Dutch passport and her Thai passport has expired, so she always travels with her Dutch passport.

If she goes to Thailand now she has to be quarantined, my question is whether she has to pay for this herself? She is still a Thai citizen I think.

I hope someone can answer that, thanks in advance.

Regards,

Kidney

    Wouldn't it be wiser to ask the Thai Embassy this question?

      In my first reaction I assume that she still has Thai nationality, despite the fact that the passport has expired.

    She can still renew her passport at the Thai consulate or Thai embassy.

    I think the same - renew the expired Thai passport at the Thai Embassy and all doubt and interpretation are gone.
    Your girlfriend is and remains a Thai citizen - dual nationality is not prohibited here.

    Greetings

    Doesn't she have a Thai ID card? It never expires.

    Well,

    I agree with the majority, have her passport renewed before she comes to Thailand.
    Then you remove all uncertainty, you know Thailand best, it's just how the "cap" of the official is, whether she has to pay for the quarantine herself or not. Before you talk about 40.000 Baht.
    Don't take that risk Rene.

    Just like Cornelis has already written, I would just ask at the Thai consulate.
    If she does have to be quarantined with her Dutch passport, there is always the option to apply for a new Thai passport for 35 euros via the consulate.

    The correct question is: can she enter Thailand on an expired ID card/passport as a Thai national? Answer: Yes, you can.
