InSiSongkram Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I`m not sure about the baby passport as I don`t know but I would say get both passports if possible as this will avoid any visa issues in the future for your child in either Country.

Mario2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Getting both passports would be much easier, as than you can show the child doesn't need a visa for either Thailand and the UK at immigration and at check-in at the airport.

7by7 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 You should get both a British and Thai passport for her. She enters and leaves Thailand with the Thai one and enters and leaves the UK with the British one. For the Thai passport see Instruction for applying for a child’s Birth Certificate And requesting for an Electronic Passport . For the British passport see I want to apply for a new or renewed child passport (under 16s). If time is too short to get both passports, I'd recommend getting the British passport first. She will be allowed into Thailand with a British passport, but will not be allowed back into the UK with a Thai passport unless she gets a visa first!

mariner29 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 If she is already in the UK she should have a passport already or asap. Travel on the UK passport apply for the Thai one later if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenk3z Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 A long time ago children under 2 years old did not require a passport to travel with their parents, or maybe even just one parent. But now they are potential terrorists and also you have cases of one parent taking the child overseas away from the other parent. So current rules seem to require a passport for everyone, even newborn babies. I'm not at all sure about UK rules, but a USA Permanent Resident (i.e. not a citizen yet) has to be careful about how much time they spend out of the country. Enough time out of the country and the permanent resident status is considered abandoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 UK passport takes 10 days after supplying them with a translation of the Thai birth certificate or UK one. You will need your full one and your passport. Dead easy on Wireless Road (I think) in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
