neveragain

Many thanks to you all for your suggestions, my account was already offshore (Barclays Guernsey) The amount of savings I have is not quite enough for other offshore banks, I have explored Wise but it seems geared for the sending of money rather than savings. I shall look into your other suggestions, again many thanks for taking the time to reply.

It appears that now without a UK address I can not have a UK bank account any more, could anyone advise me of any alternatives? I do not  want to transfer the savings  here to Thailand as am not keen on having all my savings in one basket. ideally I would like a fixed account for 3-5 years paying out a degree of interest, but have an impression that some of those advertising a high rate paid monthly into my Thai Bank here are too good to be true. 

Any help or advice will ne much appreciated, 

Having read through all the information,am I correct in thinking that as I do not have a credit card I must return to The UK to renew my passport there? If I have to do that would that not also mean that my re-entry visa would be invalid as it would be in the old passport?

Thank you for your reply. Will the Thai authorities at the airport in Bangkok not query the fact that there will be no visa or entry stamps in his Thai passport?

your child is a dual national, and therefore able to use both passports for travel.

He should depart Thailand on the Thai PP, presenting this to Thai immigration.

Enter and leave the UK on the British passport

Re-enter Thailand on the thai passport.

Show the airline both passports when you check in, which will be proof enough that your child does not require visas for unlimited visits to both Thailand and the UK. They will know from this that no visas are required.

Firstly apologies I am sure this question has been asked many times but I lack the ability to find the answer. I am considering taking my 2 year old child to visit England in July. He has both a Thai and a British birth certificate but no passport as yet. I know I can apply for a British passport for him and then enter England without problem but I am more concerned what happens when we return here to Thailand if I do this. Will he then be thought of as a British citizen with all the visa hassles this entails. If this is the case is it easier to apply for a Thai passport for him and a visa to enter England? I myself live here on a yearly visa based on marriage to Thai person and hope to live here for the forseeable future. Any advice will be most welcome.
