I think you've completely lost the plot my friend! When you pay extortionate fees and prepare extensive paperwork to apply for Naturalisation in the UK including be presented with your certificate at a Ceremony, it's not JUST a piece of paper! it's something you cherish and frame. Secondly it's a ve...

Received my documents back from HMPO nicely folded over in two then bent all over to finish them off in a thin white envelope even though I sent in all certificates including two Naturalisation certificates, translated and legally approved documents in hard back A4 envelopes which were labeled up sa...

Congratulations Habibi, journey over (Until passport renewal...lol) !!! Looks like the only way is to revert back everything to a maiden name if you want to get through this totally stupid rule of identity. I just feel sorry for all honest people trying their hardest to get their passport. It makes ...

Hi Noajthan This is interesting news (and more confusing now) with regards Table C and NOT supplying our marriage certificate or not. I happen to ring the advice line twice earlier today and was advised she needs to send the marriage certificate as evidence if we want an observation added. Even If w...

Hi noajthan, Glad you hear you have sorted yours out finally... congratulations !!! I'm confused as to what to submit or change prior to applying to HMPO. We have my wife's Thai passport and her naturalisation both in her Maiden name which I think is a good thing (or is it?). My confusion is; 1. Doe...

You've hit the nail on the head "Common sense" !!! I don't know what direction to turn too now, I'm no legal specialist and that would cost me even more money which I don't have to ask that question. I know the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand’s ruling No. 21/2546 in 2003 state Thai w...

Thank you for you kind comments, It seems if we even change her documents (Driving licence, Bank etc..) back to her maiden name, they still could refuse this... You joke about Divorce, but the way it's going it may be the answer as it's tearing us both apart here... So thank you HMPO for being so un...

Grrrrrrrr so frustrating, just typed a long reply and hit the preview and lost the lot....!!!!! :cry: Start again... :( Hello all, I've been reading the crazy issues in this thread and wonder if I may be heading for the same brick wall.. My situation is slightly different I hope as my Thai wife has ...

This is driving me crazy with worry!!! My wife is Thai and hold her Thai passport in her maiden name. She can't surrender it nor wish to change to our married name as this affects her family heritage and chances of owning land back in Thailand ( Plus since 2003 a ruling by a constitutional court, Th...

I'm still in a in the situation that my Thai wife's passport is in her maiden name which we don't wish to cancel or change as she h...
