You can apply for the birth certificate at the consular affairs department of the MFA in Bangkok. They will send the application to the embassy in Singapore for them to issue the birth certificate.

Hey. So, I went to the consulars affairs department of the MFA this afternoon to enquire about Thai BC application. The staff over there told me that they don't have the application form or whatsoever for me to do it. Plus she even told me that I'm not eligible for thai citizenship, let alone thai BC. Really huh?

I've told her that the Thai embassy in Singapore said that I'm eligible to apply but she strongly claimed that I can't be a Thai citizen no matter what.

You evidently talked to a person the knew nothing about getting a birth certificate ant the nationality act.

I suggest you go back and try to find somebody that knows what they are doing.

All of the staffs at the information counter looked at me as if I don't know anything and told my mum that I refused to listen to them. I tried my best explain slowly to them for a couples times and they kept saying "no, you cannot. Mai dai tam.".

One of the senior staff called a thai lawyer on the phone to ask about it. The lawyer also said the same thing and told my mum to go Singapore to apply for it. I shook my head in disbelief for the time and effort wasted.

Having done this, you will need to get a "BC/ID" in your Thai birth name!

Normally they will wait 3 weeks from the ID cards issuance for the system to update with the new entry before they will change the name.

After this you may change your name to Barak Obama if you wish.

So you mean the waiting period is 3 weeks after I apply for thai ID card?

If your documents are in order they will ask you questions and you will have to provide a witness and original documents with certified Thai translations.

It may take them some time to verify the documents but once done they will issue you an BC/ID card in your birth name.

Then it takes 3 weeks from the issuance of you ID Card for all the systems to update before you can change you name to George Bush if you wish.

Sooo just to double confirm with you.. My birth name will be registered for my first thai id card no matter what huh? My current name and birth name are different.

No, it is not necessary for the ID to have a Thai surname. Your ID will have your given name(s) and your surname as shown in the birth certificate.

In your cousin's case, his mother's maiden name was perhaps used on the birth certificate as one of his given names.

Can I make a request to MFA to take up my mum's surname on the certificate? Or do they strictly follow my name on my current Singapore Identity card? Is deed poll my only choice?

When they do the birth certificate they will put the same names that appear on your current birth certificate.from I assume Singapore.

Thailand does not do a deed poll for name changes . It is simple matter of applying for a applying for a name change at an Amphoe.

Few years ago, I did a deed poll to add english and eliminate chinese name which is different from the name that appear on my Singapore birth certificate. Think they still gonna follow my old name on it? I can choose to do a deed poll here in Singapore again before applying for passport and Thai ID card. I just don't want to own both with my dad's surname and have them change again.

So, this year will be the year for me to finally get a Thai BC/Passport/ID. I'm planning to do it on late October / early November.

My case is a lil difference from the rest..

I'm a Singapore citizen born to Thai mum & S'porean dad and was raised here for 23 years.

I'm sure you know that Singapore does not allow dual citizenship at your age. So whatever you do be aware of any possible consequence in Singapore.

Yes, I'm fully aware of that. Thanks.

The birth certificate will have your fathers name on it and that should be the name you will have when you are registered in a house book and get your ID card.

isn't it compulsory for thai ID to have Thai name/surname? Even for those who are half thai. One of my cousins who has the same mix as me have english name + his thai mum's surname tho.

Will the thai BC have my name together with my thai mum's surname? Or do I have to do a deed poll for surname change?

I'm currently having my dad's surname.

My case is a lil difference from the rest..

I'm a Singapore citizen born to Thai mum & S'porean dad and was raised here for 23 years.

My mum renounced her Singapore PR after being here for around 2 decades and went back to Thailand last year.

I've emailed my enquiries regarding Thai BC to the Thai Embassy in Singapore and they said that my mum has to come back Singapore to apply Thai BC for me in person with the required documents.

Now, here's the problem.. My mum's thai passport just expired last month, so she went to the respective place to renew her passport but got denied due to unpaid taxes.

If my mum still can't get to renew her passport, what can I do? Would the MFA in Bangkok, Thailand be able to help me with my case? I don't mind flying to BKK to do it.

Any other solution?

Thank you.

Let's look at Thai vs Filipina vs Khmer.

Thais, alright in small doses, but there are many happy souls in relationships with Thai women. I was married to a Thai for 22 years, I still don't really know why it crashed and burned.

Filipinas, can lie cheat and steal fluently, but there are many happy souls in relationships with Filipino women. I had a few Filipina GF's but had my fingers burnt every time.

Khmers, many are from very poor backgrounds and appreciate everything without asking for anything. I've been with the same girl 7 years, every day is a delight.

Ultimately there is no defintive answer, it's an individual decision and one man's meat.......

This guy nailed it.

Who cares? Thai use nickname instead of their real name anyway.

Cost of living in SG is 3-4 times more than TH. You will be entitled to CPF(Government spending money) once you are granted PR.

Nah. Most of them do non-surgical cosmetic surgery like inserting botox into their nose and chin with immediate effect.

Is the sticker upsetting you? Replace it with hello kitty big adventure sticker.

Expensive and shetty taste. Even hawker centre foods are getting more expensive.

Dude, every single damn thing is expensive in Singapore. Just choose Thailand and you will be much happier.

Use Beetalk.

This is nothing. You should see all the filipinos who are working in Singapore.

OP, you've lived here a year and a half and you can speak Thai to some low class girl that works in Lotus.

I wish you the best of luck with your under educated, low class girlfriend who won't have a clue who Shakespeare or Chaucer are.

Edited: OP you are way too young to be on this forum. Why at your age are you not dating models?

Fgt looking down on ppl

Maybe op can turn tom back to straight. Kill two birds with one stone.

1) She's not comfortable being with you yet, so she brings her friend.

2) She's either bi or diiz.

Make friend with a gay and bring him along on your next date.
