Dual Nationality For Children

[kp66]

Hi there,

I would like to know how to do so that my to be kids have both French & Thai nationality, being born in Thailand.

Should I record birth at embassy & to Thai authorities?

I indeed would like them to have 2 passports, as I know some people do.

Any help / experience would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Firstly Mother or Father must be Thai. If not no Thai passport.

As for Thai passport that will be no problem as you have Thai birth certificates so assume you have added them to your wife's house registration book at local Amphur. If not you will need to do so. Then with that you can go, together with her ID, marriage cert. and as you are a farang, and copy of your passport to get their their Thai passports. There is actually another thread on a similar subject .

With respect to a French passport I hope somebody of same nationality can advice as I am British so not sure of your rules and regulations but most certainly I would advise registering their births at your own embassy and then asking directly for advice as to obtaining passports.

You are French , your wife is Thai and your children were born in Thailand. I am correct?

Surely the childrens birth is already registered in Thailand with you as the father?

If I am right then I suggest you see what information is on your embassy website and/or contact your embassy in Bangkok and take their advice.

I have no idea about French law on this matter but if it is similar to English law you will not have any problems.

Thank you all for your help.

Actually we don't have children yet, just plan to!

I will check with my embassy for details.

Thank you again.

I am French. My wife is Thai. We have an 8 year old daughter. She has both Thai and French passports. Just go to the consulate (Charoen Krung road) with birth documents to officially register the birth of your kid. Your wife and kid do not need to go.

I have one more question then.

Which passport to use when leaving the country?

Which passport to use when arriving in another country (and France?)?

Thank you,

Pierre

[Aussietraveller]

Which passport you use is entirely up to you.

I would suggest that if the kid have a Thai passport, to use this for them to enter and leave Thailand.

If they have a French passport, use that when entering or leaving France.

For other countries, use the passport that is easiest, for that country.

If you have used a foreign passport to enter Thailand you need to use that to exit.

Normal usage is use Thai passport for entry/exit Thailand and foreign passport to enter/exit that foreign country. For other countries use the best choice (for Asia that could be Thai) which will usually be foreign passport (less visa requirements).

Always enter/exit using the same passport.
