You have to update your TM 30 every time you leave the country and return.

You have to update your TM 30 everytime you stay somewhere else in Thailand other than the abode you first registered at. That's as I understand it.

 One of the conditions of non Thai kids getting Thai I.D. is that they do not have I.D from any other country , so, getting your kid an Aussie PP could jeopardise his/her chances of getting Thai I.D .

Which is the better to have?   And would they check if he had Aus nationality?  Of course not.

We are not married so the baby is not legitimate.

That is nothing to do with 'legitimising' the boy.  'Legitimising' him , because you are unmarried to the mother give you 'parental right'. One of those rights is to obtain an Australian passport as long as the mother consents to it as well. Being as she''s stateless she'll probably never be able to leave Thailand so in the event of you taking the boy to Aus her written permission will be required. That is my understanding.

We are not married so the baby is not legitimate. His birth certificate lists him as "Person who lives in Thailand illegally or on a temporary basis". Under the Nationality  section 1.3 it states "Not acquire Thai nationality".

But he has a Thai birth certificate and it must registered with the Amphur. He lives in Thailand and comes under the Thai legal system. On another forum there is a long thread regarding a very similar story to you. Sorry not allowed to tell you its name but it's initials are TD.

Therefore he has no nationality

Yes he has he's Australian by right, being as you're the father. To obtain 'Parental Rights' all you have to do is go to your Amphur and 'Legitimise' the boy if aged over 7. If under it has to be done in a court. Not being married doesn't make any difference

On the application form is states a DNA test maybe required.

It say's 'maybe' but have you not asked why it's compulsory in your case? Or are you just assuming it's got to be shown?

Try reading the article. Defects mentioned.

It wouldn't have took much if the whole article had been published in the first place. Nothing worse than half a story with a link.

misleading article, defects are nothing to do with Toyota or Isuzu.

Any chance of telling us what the defects are?

It's okay I found it.

After the distribution, some defects and mistakes are found on them.  They include broken sirens, poor wiring systems and defective parts.  Name signs of some police stations are not correct.

Pol Gen Chakthip said he has ordered checks of all vehicles.  The defects are found only on some vehicles because the companies handed over them to the RTP in a rush.

 

All defects and mistakes must be corrected, otherwise a committee will be set up to investigate to find those responsible, he said.

During the past two years, the RTP has been provided with equipment and vehicles under seven projects.  They include patrol cars and motorcycles, communication radios, air rescue aircraft and helicopters.

I have posted on here before regarding having my Thai born son (Myanmar mother) made Australian Citizen by Descent so as he can obtain his passport

Can you post the link ? I've looked and can't find it.

Australian Citizen by Descent

Why a DNA test? A certificate of legitimisation obtained from you local Amphur signed by the mother should suffice. I don't see where it says  anything about DNA in this thread.

Australian Passports – Applications for Minors

This information sheet should be read in conjunction with the Australian passport application form. Please complete and print the appropriate form from the website www.passports.gov.au

Overseas Passport Application (PC8) One parent must be interviewed. Your child does not need to attend.

The lodging parent must bring the following original documents and a photocopy of each to the passport interview:

• Completed Overseas Application Form available at www.passports.gov.au including a completed Guarantor section (see attached list of guarantor categories)

• Current Australian passport (if the child has one)

•  If the child was born in Australia - original Australian birth certificate

•  If the child was born overseas - original birth certificate plus original translation showing the translation office’s stamp plus original Australian Citizenship Certificate

• Original Parents’ passports, in their current name and showing their signature (Examples: Australian or overseas passport)

• Marriage Certificate plus original translation (if any).

•  If the spelling or entire name of a parent on the child’s birth certificate differs from the parent’s ID – a name change document plus original translation (Examples: Name change certificate, marriage certificate).

• If the child’s Australian passport has been lost/stolen - original Thai police report.

• Three passport photos (guidelines regarding size, colour, etc are listed on the website).

If your child’s Australian passport has been lost or stolen you must also present a Thai police report.

Our processing office in Canberra may request additional documents after the application has been assessed by them. We will contact you if any additional documentation is needed.

Your child’s new passport will take 3 weeks (15 working days) to process. If your child needs to travel on their current passport while the new one is processed, please advise staff at the interview. If you choose this option you will need to present the child’s current passport to us for cancellation before the new one can be released to you.

If you choose to have your child’s current passport cancelled at the interview, the new document can be mailed to you in Thailand or collected in person from the Australian Embassy Bangkok.

 

 

 

Sorry I should have stated that to prove 'legitimacy' if the child is age under 7 it must be done via a court. Not a big deal.

According to a deckchair representative a few days ago he said that tourist don't really mind the rubbish. So it must be true.

Nobody say they can't, but they may have to go to the 7/11 next to them

Yep them steps going into 7/11's are going to be well worn with people sitting on them. More than normally.

I can sleep better now thank you.

Thank you very much. I was kinda worried as my Extension is due exactly 9 months prior to my passports expiry. 

So it's okay to apply for a new passport more than the 9 months in advance of your passport expiring?

The big rage around where I live is the 'Bangkok  Pill'. Only a question of time before someone goes the same way as this lady.

So if I want to renew my passport before the 9 month maximum allowed, lets say 10 months, will the new passport be post dated to 9 months before the expiry date? Or can I only apply for the new passport 9 months prior? I hope I explained that correctly?

I suppose it's the same old story; if the police have a specific helmet/seat-belt/licence job for the day, all other trafic violations get ignored.  

Do you know why it is that police here only enforce the laws they've been designated to enforce on a particular day? They never, IMO, deviate and think for themselves.

Yes.  I am considering the same.  We will see how my 1-year 'wife' extension goes.  If 1/2 has much of a joke as my attempt at a Non-O Conversion in Jomtien (with every document on the list, and MFA stamped income-doc to-boot - finally gave up and went on a 'visa run'), or significantly more trouble than by 'visit-wife' 60-day extension (needed everything short of a stool-sample from the landlord), I may officially change my residence to Bangkok.  I'd bet a building manager there would be happy to rent me a broom-closet for a reasonable price. 

I actually respect the security-intent of these rules, and would be happy to comply if they were enforced consistently.  But since a good portion of Immigration personnel don't respect the rules, and the holes are wide enough for any criminal (with an agent) to drive a truck through, playing along isn't helping Thailand's security one bit.

Well put JT.

Not required in Bangkok!

May as well have an address registered in BKK then for all the siht(anagram) these numpties out here throw at us. It'd be orgasmic not having to report in person for the TM47, wife not getting fined for failing to submit TM30, no immigration house visits, no 200km round trip drives to the IO and no changing the rules as and when it suits them without prior notice.

Thanks. Only good falangs come to P'lok!!!!

May be that's true as around here they think all farangs are lying, cheating no gooders. Okay, there probably are some here having paid under the table to get their visa in Pattaya. The way to clear these trouble makers out it to clear immigration officers out that assist these dross. Immigration are the problem in Thailand, not genuine law abiding foreigners who they continually harass .

Been on retirement extension for 4 years. NEVER had a home visit, never submitted a TM30, never been fined for anything. First in Pattaya and now in Phitsanulok.

Try living in either Korat, Buriram or Surin Immigration areas. I can guarantee you'll get bounced with something.

There is no 90 dues so I assume you about a report of your arrival at your residence by the owner of your residence using a TM30 form. Whether that will be due or not depends upon the the office you report to.

I didn't, neither did my wife, know about the TM30 rule until she went to the Buriram office to do a 90 day report 3 months ago. Never did it before in 12 years at either Korat, Kap Choeng or Buriram offices. So you will never be notified in advance that your particular office has implemented the rule. And it is the rule. Better safe than sorry.
