The Supreme Administrative Court said on May 1 that it agreed with the Central Administrative Court's decision to dismiss Thaksin's petition.
In 2016 the Central Administrative Court rejected a lawsuit filed by Thaksin after the Thai government revoked his two regular Thai passports.
Thaksin accused the Department of Consular Affairs of revoking the passports illegally in May 2015.
