Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul admitted yesterday the ministry has returned an ordinary passport to ousted ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
He has held the passport since Oct 26, though the government has referred since then of its intention to return the passport to Thaksin as a "New Year's gift".
The opposition and anti-Thaksin groups are now threatening to sue the government for returning the passport to Thaksin. They have also criticised the government for misleading the public.
Mr Surapong said the ministry lifted an order issued by the Abhisit Vejjajiva government which revoked Thaksin's passport.
