"Merhaba! Hello, I'm from Turkey. I've been traveling in Thailand for two weeks now."

"I like Thailand because the sea is very beautiful. The food is delicious. There are a lot of exotic flavors for me."

"Before coming to Thailand, I applied for a visa before entering Thailand. I studied a lot."

"Thai people are kind, always smiling, maybe because I am a foreigner, so welcome."

1. Main domicile

The person is a Turkish national, but has been traveling in Thailand for two weeks. Temporary residence in Thailand does not automatically make Thailand domiciled because it is only travel, not immigration or permanent residence.

Therefore, based on the data in the interview, it should be said that the original area is in Turkey, and Thailand is a temporary place of residence for tourism.

2. Principle of nationality

Such a person identifies as a Turkish national and therefore has a Turkish nationality. Travelling in Thailand or obtaining permission to stay in Thailand does not require Thai citizenship. Citizenship is considered according to the nationality laws of each country, not just because of travel.

In this case, it is considered the nationality of the Turkish national of the person and is separated from the status of alien resident in Thailand.
