The government is calling on Thais who lack an identification card and have no formal nationality to join a DNA test program to prove their Thai nationality.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Deputy government spokesman Kharom Polpornklang said the Provincial Administration Department has launched a project to test the DNA of stateless Thais so that they could be given ID cards and be eligible for all the rights of Thai citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kharom said the aim of the project is to help Thais become recognized as citizens even though they lack household registration and birth certificates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is also aimed at helping Thais whose names have been on household registrations but who have been registered as stateless persons.<\/p>\n\n\n

Kharom said that since the middle of last month district offices and household registration offices of local administrations nationwide began allowing stateless Thais to apply for citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those eligible for free DNA tests to prove they are genetically Thai and so eligible for Thai citizenship fall under three groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Those whose parents failed to seek their child\u2019s birth certificates within deadlines<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Hilltribe people who seek Thai nationality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Those who wish to change their status on household registrations from stateless to Thai.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Kharom said eligible persons must have a low income or be underprivileged, and one of their parents must be identified as a Thai citizen on their household registration. Alternatively, their DNA must match that of a blood relative who has household registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
