Chinese scammers have been hiring Thai men to register marriages with their Chinese wives so that their Chinese-born children can obtain Thai citizenship, according to the Department of Provincial Administration.
The department made the revelation on Thursday, a day after the arrest in Bangkok of six people — one of them a district official in Thon Buri — in connection with fraudulent documents. A similar scam was uncovered in Nakhon Ratchasima just a few days earlier, and authorities believe more discoveries are pending.
