stament Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I read an old article that suggested this is possible. Our son has a British and Thai passport and I wondered if he could leave the UK on his British passport and enter Thailand on his UK passport based on the post. Yea, I know he can enter on his UK passport but then he would have to jump through all the hoops us foreigners have to. Secondly, if possible, is there a time limit on the expires passport, e.g. within 6 months @ubonjoe Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 i think you mean enter Thailand on Thai passport, should be ok to do this, if not enter on UK passport and get a 1 year extension as a Thai citizen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 No problem entering Thailand on a Thai passport BUT its possible he/you may be asked how you were allowed to board the plane ? obviously he has the UK passport, but it may lead down the same rabbit hole of questions etc. Technically nothing wrong in what you suggest.(AFAIK) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlueScouse Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 My son and daughter entered Thailand last year using expired Thai passports. They had to show a valid Thai ID card.No problem, told to renew their Thai passports. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiaussie Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 If he enters on the Thai passport, he'll have to leave on a new valid one. Make sure you'll be able to renew his PP in Thailand and have all the documents with you to do so. Otherwise he'll be stuck here. That will mean being registered on the Tabien Baan, and ideally, having an ID card if aged over 7. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 He can leave the UK on his UK PP, and enter Thailand on his expired one + ID card. In fact I have heard he could just enter on his ID card. He is a Thai Citizen, they can not refuse him entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I entered the UK with my UK PP and left on an OZ one to Thailand, but that was still valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand want to see the entry and exit stamp in the same passport. He won't be able to leave. Catches out many UK and US folk given they don't have a formal exit imigration. Thailand does.

Do you mean you showed the airline's check on staff your Oz passport or did you show it to the immigration officer and got the exit stamp on the Oz passport?

CanadaSam Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 This is where a bit of common sense should kick in. The boy is Thai, hence the Thai passport, expired or not. As he is Thai, no immigration officer can not legally NOT allow him into his own country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
