You presumably have obtained both a British and a Thai passport for your daughter, so her entry into the UK and back into Thailand wont be any problem.

As for your wife; as the spouse of a British national living in Thailand she should not have any problems, simply provide the documents on this list plus any others you think may help.

You need to show that there are sufficient finances for the trip, whether from you and your wife's resources or those of a third party such as your parents. These finances need to be immediately available, so bonds and ISAs wont do, I'm afraid; but any income from them will. Provide your bank statements or other proof of your income and finances and the same for your parents if their help is required.

Remember, if you are staying with your parents then you will not need that much anyway.

If you are staying with your parents then a letter of invitation from them is advisable; this should describe the accommodation available and if they own the property some proof of this is a good idea. If they rent, then a letter from their landlord granting you permission to stay there.
