    @Arkady @ubonjoe Maybe you guys can help me with this one.. I will go next week to be added to the house registration. What type of witnesses are required and what is expected of them?

    How did it go? Am in the same boat but also had to produce parents marriage certificate, etc, and power of attorney stamped by Thai embassy in the US, now on hold. Would love to talk to someone in the same situation as me.

    My daughter, who is half Thai, half English wished to return  to Thailand to wait out the crisis with her family.  She has no Thai ID or Passport but has her Thai Birth  Certificate.  She is in contact with the Thai Embassy in London, who next week will issue her with a 'Permit to Travel' so that she can return here as a Thai citizen,  She will then get her ID and passport.  So her stay will of course be unlimited.  This information is fresh as it was only this week that it was all settled with the Embassy in London.  

    Is she on a house registration here already?

    my Thai embassy in the US told me birth certificate would be enough to get the process started when I arrived here, but once it gets to the amphoe level, it’s not. Hence how my trouble started. I have a friend here in the same situation. there a few things they seem to request once you get there that the embassies don’t tell you - let me know if need the list. 

  3. Hey all. I need some help (like many of us).

    I’m looking for solid answers and the process of obtaining a change to a year-long O visa for Thais. I am half Thai and came to Thailand on a US passport. I have a Thai birth certificate issued by the Thai embassy in DC, but not a Thai ID card or Thai passport (that’s another issue). I’ve talked to some visa agents and I’ve been told I can get a year long visa based on this, but communication was a bit unclear, so I wanted to make sure with maybe some other people who know? Cost, documents needed, etc? Thanks in advance, stay safe everyone.

    Not sure that could be done since it is your parents birth certificate you are wanting to do an affidavit for.

    I think you have an Amphoe creating their own rules. You had to provide that to get your birth certificate I think.

    not their birth certificate; just a copy of their marriage certificate translated into thai and stamped by the MFA. have my thai birth certificate already, just need the marriage one in thai before i can be put on a house registration. main concern is if the MFA accepts official documents with the US embassy-granted Affidavits as opposed to going through the two-step authentication at state and secretary of state level. (also have power of attorney for both parents)

    It can still be done by doing an affidavit. I can recall posts of people doing it within past year or less.

    The affidavit has to be translated and certified by the consular affairs department along with the marriage certificate.

    The embassy has this on the notaries page.  

    "Affidavits
    Oftentimes the Thai government requests the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General Chiang Mai “certify” documents listed under “services we cannot provide.” Please note the Embassy and Consulate CAN notarize an affidavit which may or may not satisfy the Thai requirement for “certification.”"

     

    Im in a very different situation (half Thai, need my parents US marriage certificate for my own Thai residency), but still also need a translated and stamped marriage certificate, and am digging around these forums for answers. From what I am understanding here, I could skip the 2-step authentication process (which would send me back to the US), and bring the certificate to the US embassy to sign an affidavit, and this would be acceptable for the MFA? Does this typically work? if so, would save a lot of headache. Thanks in advance...

  6. Hey all.

    I was wondering if anyone had any insight...

    I’ve been going through this process for a while now. 
    I am half Thai on my father’s side.

    He moved to the USA forty years ago (Still alive), which left pretty much 0 paper trail for me to follow. When I was born, he never registered my birth with the Thai embassy in Washington DC, leading me to just recently do so. I now have my Thai birth certificate, not yet an ID card or passport. At the embassy in DC I was told if I returned to Thailand with my Thai birth certificate, it would be enough to be put onto a house registration and then obtain my ID card and subsequently Thai passport. So, I returned to Thailand (on a visa exemption), and went to the district office with my aunt...where of course, they requested more. Now, because my Thai isn’t great and neither is my aunt’s, my understanding was that they requested the following - my parents US marriage certificate translated into Thai and then stamped by the ministry of foreign affairs, and THREE power of attorney forms filled out by my dad and stamped by the Thai embassy in DC. While this sounds reasonable, has anyone else been through this?? I want to make sure nothing is missing before it gets sent here, as this journey’s already sent me across the planet once. 
    TIA!
