True. But then she'd have to leave or extend after 30 days, or overstay. She's half-Thai, she should get a Thai passport.

The future of masking -- will it ever end?

We certainly have high standards! -
Your new black passport will be valid for 10 years from the date it is issued, irrespective of when your current burgundy passport expires. Renewing is easy via HMPO/VFS in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. How long it takes depends on the efficient of HMPO in Liverpool! You retain your old passport while the renewal processing is taking place, but only for ID purposes.

Alternatives to Truevison for EPL next season

Or 10,000 for a year. You get what you pay for! Plenty of cheaper but often unreliable options out there. -

Thanks - sorry for posting the wrong link (missing hyphen). -
Make sure you get her Thai passport so she can return to Thailand with it. Otherwise she'll need a Thai visa.

If she's a US citizen why would she need a US visa to go to the US? Am I missing something?

The future of masking -- will it ever end?

Personally, I think it's the opposite. As a Brit I find I have plenty to moan and complain about my country of origin. Having now lived in Thailand for 18+ years, I also find plenty to moan and complain about my adopted country (not just the ridiculous fixation with masks!). -
The Link is correct. Getting a UK Marriage certificate legalised and then certified for use in Thailand, requires the document being sent to the UK Legalisation Office in Milton Keynes. They can then forward it to the Thai Embassy in London for certification (as long as you include a postage-paid envelope). It took me about 14 days, and it helps if you are physically in the UK.

I didn't say it "only applied to people from Laos", I just pointed out that the link that was posted was for VFS in Vientiene, Laos. I am not aware of anyone in Thailand who needed a DNA test for their child's first UK passport. I certainly didn't (and I wasn't married to my child's mother at the time) and a colleague in Bangkok recently applied for his daughter's first UK passport and there was no mention of a DNA test. If it's a new rule that's been introduced in the last month or so, I would expect someone here should have first-hand knowledge. @theoldgit? @ThaiVisaExpress?

Some of the key services include: Consular Assistance: The embassy offers consular assistance to UK citizens in cases of emergencies, such as accidents, hospitalizations, or arrests. They can provide guidance and support, including contact with family members, arranging for legal representation, or liaising with local authorities. Passport Services: The embassy can provide emergency travel documents if a passport is lost or stolen. Notarial and Documentary Services: The embassy offers some notarial services, including administering oaths, and witnessing signatures. They can also provide various documentary services, such as issuing certificates of no impediment to marriage. Registration of Births and Deaths: UK citizens living in Thailand can register the birth or death of a British national with the embassy. This ensures that the event is properly recorded and can facilitate future document issuance, such as passports. Travel Advice and Information: The embassy provides up-to-date travel advice and information for UK citizens living in Thailand. This includes safety and security guidance, information on local laws and customs, and any travel-related updates or advisories. Voting and Registration: The embassy can assist UK citizens in registering to vote while living in Thailand. They provide information on the voting process, registration deadlines, and can facilitate the submission of postal votes during elections. Assistance in Emergencies: In case of major emergencies, such as natural disasters or civil unrest, the embassy can provide assistance and information to UK citizens. They may help in coordinating evacuation plans, providing updates on the situation, and offering guidance on appropriate actions to take.
