Kadafi Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have a 11 month old son and need to get him a Thai and UK passport, so i just need a few questions answered: * UK PASSPORT Where do i have to go to obtain a UK passport for him? How much does it cost? Is it true that it has to be obtained before he is one year old? What documents do i need? * THAI PASSPORT Where do i go to obtain one? How much does it cost? What documents do i need? Thanks very much to anyone who can answer these questions as ive tried the search function but can't seem to find the information...

rabcbroon Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) assuming your in thailand: For Thai pp you need Thai birth cert and both parents need to attend the passport office (MFA) - 1000 baht. Sorry, the MFA is in Bangna - Bangkok Edited November 24, 2009 by rabcbroon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple search for the British Embassy Bangkok website will produce the answers you require. The Embassy is situated in Wireless Road, Bangkok and opens at 0800 hours mondays to fridays. Take a bus from Chonburi to Ekami and then the skytrain to Ploenchit. The embassy is a few minutes walk from that skytrain station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadafi Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Im having some trouble accessing that site for some reason. Does anyone have links to download application forms for the UK passport and also Thai passport? then i can print them off and fill them out. Also do i have to obtain a UK passport before my son is one year old? as this is what ive been told. Lastly do i have to have my birth certificate to obtain the UK passport for my son? as its currently in England... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiphoon Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Looks like your birth certificate is needed. Have a look at the link below from the British Embassy website for more information. http://ukinthailand.fco.gov.uk/en/passport...sport-documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 See also How to register a birth . You don't have to do it before he is one year old, although ASAP gets it done and out the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadafi Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Thanks Once ive received my birth certificate from the UK i will be sorting it out straight away. Ive heard i dont need to register the birth at the UK embassy in order to obtain my son a UK passport, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Birth registration at the embassy is optional, not doing so wont stop your son being British or mean that he can't have a British passport. There are some advantages to doing so, however; the main one being that he'll have a British style birth certificate, which may prove useful to him in later life. See the link I posted above.

See the link I posted above. Just can't believe they want 8,400 (£170) baht for a birth cerificate. Thanks for all the info, it has come very handy....

lopburi3 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I believe it gets the information into the UK systems so could be an advantage living in the UK and would avoid legalization costs of Thai documents for some things. I would recommend. We have too many posts here of people not having paperwork after decades and the problems they face in trying to obtain at that stage.

stbkk Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Definitely a good idea to get the UK birth certificate. Its a one time cost, and will make it so much easier if ever he wants to go back to the UK full time. And by the way, being a father gets more expensive as they get older....!

Kadafi Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Has anyone done a passport application to British Embassy in Bangkok by post? Thought i could just downloads the forms and post it with the fee to Wireless Rd, Bangkok. What form do i need for my son...C2 FORM? http://ukinthailand.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for...passports/fees1 Also the fee on the website is 4,134 baht for child passport ... EMS postage 100 baht for return. It also states 962 baht postage round trip to Hong Kong, does that need paying also? http://ukinthailand.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for...passports/fees1 Just confused on the total price that would need paying if i was to do it via post....

Kadafi Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 I went there and thought i had everything in order but then they wanted by gf's I.D transferred into English and also my son's birth certificate transferred into English. Left home at 6am and spent the whole day only not to be able to get the passport sorted.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
