I have tried to book an appointment. There are tons of paid 3400 Premium lounge or 3450 after hour appointments. There is not one single free biometric appointment. All this after already paying the 4000 plus baht visa fee. Just naked greed.

It must be done from Thailand, you can't do it from the UK. The information is available at the gov.uk website, just follow the instructions, prepare the documents and book an appointment at VFS.

Correct. Entirely unnecessary as long as you have a birth certificate.

 

Presumably you have a UK address to use on the application?

Yes I will have.

No i didn't. My understanding is this is not necessary.

I did it for my mixed race daughter, but we had to have proof of adoption in the UK (which we had) , or a valid birth cert with you named as the father, plus a certified DNA test proving paternity. Good luck. 

I am on the birth certificate and married to his mother.

of an existing PP ???easy if its a renewal

No it is a first passport.

I would like to know if anyone has experience of getting their child's British passport in the UK. Is it a similar process to get the passport in the UK rather than Thailand? I'm going back to England anyway and I don't live far from the passport office in Liverpool. At the moment, as I live far from Bangkok it would be more difficult to visit the VFS office before I leave for England.

Can you please enlighten us of the procedure, my girl was born a few days ago and interested in the latest upto date facts not the general speculation. 

Thanks in advance 

Go to your local amphur with your Thai wife/girlfriend and ask for a copy of the birth certificate in English, I also got our marriage certificate in English. My wife showed them the original certificates and then they printed the English versions out and stamped them. The price is 10 baht per certificate.

I appreciate that it is called Amazing Thailand and that there is always the first time for everything, however as those offices are there to deal with Thai matters I somehow think you may be disappointed.

What a useless comment. I have just got the certificates quite easily.

Someone posted it in this forum.

I read that you can get a copy of a birth certificate and marriage certificate in English from your local amphoe. I want to get a British passport for my son who was born in Thailand, I'm British, his mother is Thai. I would much prefer the convenience of getting this English birth certificate to getting his Thai one translated and certified. I would like to know if anyone has experience of using this when applying for their child's British passport.

Did it.

I am wanting to do the same. There are no replies and so maybe it is a bit early. Last time the woman said I would not be able to do another one but I will give it another try.

Mine was stamped until October the 14th. Can I go earlier or later than that date and get the extension until Nov 30th?

Just in case anyone is still interested. No you can't. You have to go to the main office.

I will be going there on Wednesday - As this is just a 30 day extension (with a Embassy letter) I see no reason why they can't do it there

Same here.

Does anyone know if you can get the 30 day extension with an embassy letter in The Blueport office in Hua Hin? I would much, much rather go there than the other place.

Thanks, yeah he was the only one to talk to, there's a separate room for application processing. He called his 'higher-up/boss' and asked about the 40k as well.

60 day extension it looks like then. 

The same thing happened to me at Hua Hin. He ummed and aahhed and then told me to go up and meet the manager. The manager was a lady who tried to get me to pay 20000 for a parent visa. I refused and told her what I thought of her. Yes, not a good idea but she really wound me up. Now I don't want to go back there, I may have to unless there is some good news for me concerning the amnesty.  It would be really a big problem if I have to fly back to England just for a visa. 

The best bread I have had is the no knead recipe by Jim Lahey. It's so easy, just leave it to rest overnight and it is honestly better than any bread I have had here. All you need is a hot oven preferably one capable of 230c- 250c.
