change name thai wife

[drenddy]

My wife she just changed her name, until now only her ID card.

 

Does this imply changing the passport as well?Some countries don't require to change passport after name change, as passport will be still valid until expiration date, regardless name change.

 

We live in Denmark and wife talked with the Thai Embassy and they told her, she just need to change her ID in Thailand and do the rest her(passport) and, of course, as she has a residence permit, change this as well.

 

But I am a bit reluctant.Can she really still have her current passport valid and, at the time when she returns back to Denmark, just use it and, if needed, show name change documents?

 

Thank you in advance.

At some point in the future her Thai passport will expire. Her next passport will have her new name on it. At that point her Thai passport and her Danish residency card will be in different names.

 

She can deal with it now or deal with it later, but at some point her residency card will have to be changed to her new name.

 

Sometimes it's better to do these things when you aren't in a rush and time is on your side.
