Hi, hoping someone can help. My daughter was born in the UK and her mum is Thai.

 

I’m lead to believe that she can be registered at the local Amphur and added to a house registration book.

 

I have also read that a child of a Thai mother automatically becomes a Thai national at birth. When I read this it seemed to imply that no matter which country the child is born it still has an automatic right to Thai nationality.

 

We are not in a position to have both parents go to the local Thai embassy in the UK to sort it out but I can bring my daughter to Thailand (as her mother is now there) to do the Amphur registration .

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated , thank you.

A child born to a Thai parent is automatically a Thai National .

Thank you. So the process of registering them at the Amphur is just a formality?

Yes, It would be better if you get Daughter a Thai Passport in the UK , just to save you having to deal with getting her a Thai visa in a UK PP

Do you happen to know if it would be possible for her to get a Thai passport and birth certificate in Thailand?

I know that both mother and father need to be at the UK embassy to apply for the above and there is no chance that her mother will come back to the UK.

Will be able to get a Thai PP , but will not be able to get a Thai Birth Certificate .

Although a UK Birth certificate with the Thai Mothers name on it , should be sufficient to get a Thai PP

That’s really helpful , thank you very much.

If born in the UK the birth certificate must be issued by the Thai embassy in the UK.

 

If currently in Thailand, the forms can be filed with the Thai Consular department in Bangkok. They will sent the forms to the Thai embassy in Bangkok.
