Interviews with foreign individuals

I was born in Mien. I am the eldest. I have two brothers. My middle brother is a man and my youngest is a woman. I came to Thailand. Because my hometown is unsafe, I feel unsafe. Especially many people are moving out, and many young people choose to leave the country to seek stability and better opportunities. That's why I decided to come to Thailand and live here.

Now I feel very happy and independent to be in Thailand, and I feel very good about living in Thailand and studying in Thailand.

I studied in Thailand in biomedicine and health informatics, a field that I am very interested in and passionate about, so I am sure I can build a future and a career in Thailand.

I was also impressed by the work of government agencies, especially immigration offices, that provide systematic services or visa replacements, and that the Thai private sector has good management, clean, orderly places and quality food.

Diagnosis

1. Why is it Personal State?

Personal State refers to the principle used to determine a person's status, such as nationality, person's abilities, family rights, and legal relationships, which is generally determined by the Nationality Principle or Domicile Principle.

According to the facts: The interviewee, born in Mianma, did not appear to have obtained Thai citizenship, came to live and study in Thailand using foreign status.

So: According to Thai law, the interviewee is an "alien" because he does not have Thai nationality, even if he lives or studies in Thailand. According to the Immigration Act 1979, section 4, "alien" refers to a natural person who does not have Thai nationality.

2. Describe both public and private legal dimensions of domicile.

Domicile In the public law dimension, public law considers domicile for use in public administration, immigration, taxation, and the exercise of state power.

From the facts: The interviewee came to study and lived in Thailand, lived daily in Thailand, had a visa and had a visa properly.

Therefore: Thailand is considered to be domiciled in public law because it is the place where the Thai state exercises authority to govern and control such people through immigration and other laws.

Domicile in private law dimension. According to section 37, the domicile of a natural person includes the place of residence of the person as a significant source.

From the facts: The interviewee lived in Thailand, studied in Thailand, was determined to pursue a career in Thailand in the future.

Therefore: It may be considered that private domicile is in Thailand because Thailand is a normal place of residence and the center of life today.

3. Linked to the principle of sovereignty and the principle of nationality in the PIL

(1) Sovereignty Thailand is an independent state, so it has the ultimate authority to

- Establish immigration conditions

- Permission to stay in the kingdom.

- Permission to study

- Issuance of visas

- Alien control

So: Interviewees can live in Thailand because they have permission from the Thai state in accordance with immigration laws, reflecting Thailand's exercise of sovereignty over individuals in their territories.

(2) Nationality Principle in the International Law Division of Persons. Nationality is an important connecting Factor to determine the applicable law on the status of persons.

Although the interviewee lives in Thailand, they still have citizenship.

Therefore: Some personal status may still be subject to the Mian Law, but when you are in Thailand, you must follow the Thai law of immigration, education, work and residence.
