On November 26, 2012 the journey of stateless students came into a turning point. The Ministry of Interior annouced its order to issue Thai citizenship for stateless people who lived in or entered to Thailand within 18 January 1995.
Many of the stateless students who were born in Thailand are under the qualifications stated in the order. We were happy for this great opportunity.
We set up a forum with our network to prepare for the application processes. We discussed, how to apply, when should we go, what should we take together with the application, who will be our references, and how to keep the record of our applications. Many things in detail to discuss to ensure they can access to the application processes effectively.
It is not difficult to prepare evidences, documents and references for the application. We hope to get good and effective services officers. We hope to come back and meet each other again next week to learn and share the experiences of the applications at our hometowns.
Our journey comes to the intersection and many challengings are waiting. After we pass this step we will be able to work for the others who have the problems of being stateless we onced experienced.
Intersection ahead !
