Interviews with foreign persons (Group 4)

I am a native of Mianma. I lived with my family in Mianma. Because I wanted to earn money to help my family, I came to Thailand with my friends and worked in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. I worked as a housekeeper at a hotel and rented a room.

When I first came to Thailand, I was very scared because I didn't know anyone in Thailand. Living in Thailand for me was very difficult because I had to adapt to a different language and culture, environment and work from Mianma. I had to work long hours to earn money to send back to my family.

On some days, work is very tired. I often miss home and family. I know, discouraged, homesick, lonely and tired. Especially during festivals or days when I see other people with my family. I miss my parents and my hometown.

Despite the hardships, I continue to try to work and live in Thailand because Thailand is a place that gives me the opportunity to work and earn an income. I hope to one day be able to save enough money to return to visit my family and create a better life for me and my family.

Diagnosis

1. Why is it Personal State?

* * * Be an alien in Thailand because she has citizenship and does not receive Thai citizenship. Her travel to live and work in Thailand does not automatically change her nationality or become a Thai national.

♫ Therefore, the interviewee is an alien caused by the difference between the nationality of the person and the nationality of the state in which the person came to live. That is, she is a Myanmar citizen but came to live and work in Thailand.

2. Domicile in public and private law dimensions

2.1. In the public law dimension, the interviewee came to live and work in Phra Nakhon Sriyutthaya Province under the authority of the male state in legal areas such as immigration, labour law and other laws applicable to persons in Thai territory. Residing or working in Thailand does not mean that she has Thai nationality and does not terminate the nationality relationship between her and Myanmar.

> Therefore, in public law, Thailand can exercise State power and Thai law to regulate persons in Thailand's territory within the scope of international law and obligations.

3. Linking the core sovereignty and the core nationality in international law, the Personnel Division

- Sovereign power

Thailand is sovereign over its territory, so when the interviewee enters and resides in Thailand, she complies with Thai law as it applies to aliens. The sovereignty is the basis that allows Thailand to establish rules on immigration, residence, work and aliens within Thailand.

- Nationality Principle

The nationality code connects the person to the state of nationality of the person. In this case, the interviewee is of Mianma nationality. Her nationality relationship is therefore linked to Mianma, even at the same time she came to live and work in Thailand.

> Therefore, Mianma nationality is a legal relationship between the interviewee and Mianma, and living in Thailand is another relationship related to the territory and laws of Thailand.

- Territorial Principle

The territory refers to the state's authority over persons and events that occur within its territory. When an interviewee comes to work and lives in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, actions or activities that occur within Thailand are subject to Thai law, such as work, contracting or following the law of residence in Thailand.

- Personal Status

The case of the person interviewee illustrates the issue of the condition of the person who is associated with the law of more than one country because they have a nationality but are resident and working in Thailand.
