Hi everyone, anyone come across this problem?, my wife is ethnic Tai Yai and lives on the border, she has an ID card but it the pink one, she is registered for full Thai citizenship but wont get it for 7 years although born in Thailand as her family were poor and she was born at home hence no doctors paperwork. My mother UK has just had a severe heart attack and needs care, does anyone know how i can possibly get my wife a passport so we can all go to the UK for the short term. I do not intend to stay in the UK i much prefer it in Thailand, one more thing my wife is pregnant.

Thanks for any ideas

From a realistic point of view, there is virtually no way your wife can get a Thai passport since she is not a Thai citizen. Emergency travel documents can be issued in rare cases but don't believe your wife would qualify and she would also need a UK visa. By the way, are you legally married in Thailand with the marriage registered at the local Amphur?
