Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Friday that former prime Thaksin Shinawatra will have to forego his Thai citizenship if he wants to become a Cambodian citizen.

Abhsiit was commenting on reports that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen would give Cambodian citizenship to Thaksin.

Abhsit said he has not been formally informed of Thaksin being naturalized Cambodian.

"But by the standard of Thai laws, a Thai citizen must hold a single citizenship. If he wants to become a Cambodian citizen, he must forego the Thai citizenship," Abhisit said.

The government of Cambodia has the right as well as other sovereign countries to grant the citizenship and passsport to any one who has met the legal procedures of the Cambodia as a home-country. It is internal affairs of Cambodia, in this case, if so. In 13th century, our Khmer King(s) granted tribal Tai people who fled from Yunan through Mekong to live in our country at first in Sokhothai, and those who later change the name to Siam. Why didn't Siam historian recod this history?

Cambodian govt had also granted the Khmer citizenship to many other foreigners; including the hollywood star.

almost all overseas Thai in the USA, Australia, etc, etc that have been in their new country long enough to qualify now hold dual citizenship

maybe Abhisit is ignorant of his own immigration laws?

or as usual finds it convenient to spin a story to fool the people

Mr. Abhisit also holds UK citizenship as well as Thai.

Prince Norodom Ranariddh also holds French citizenship as well as Khmer.

Why not Thaksin hold Khmer citizenship as well as Thai?

Do Thais in the US have to relinguish their Thai citizenships?

Perhaps, Mr. Abhisit should consider stop making political issues out of this...

Cambodia law allows anyone to keep its own citizenship just like Khmer living around the world can have a dual citizenship.
