rangel22 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I was just wondering if you could help me..its early days, but i thought id get some advice from the forum to see where I am at. My wife and I, who is Thai, plane to move to Thailand from the UK within 18 months. I plan to become a teacher after doing the TEFL course. My wife has just found out she is pregnant, and the baby will be born in the UK. When we do plan do go over whats the situation regarding our child? Would the child need a visa? Because the mother is thai, does that make a difference? Or do we need a special visa etc? Would our child automatically get thai citizenship as it will be brought up in Thailand and the mother is Thai? Or is the system complex? I know with myself, the situation is I can go for 12 months visas only (ed.visa or marriage visa ), does the same apply with the child? I ve looked at the visa sytem on the Thailand embassy website, abd I cant find anything regarding this. Could you help my wife and I , by saying what's our situatuon? Thank you, regards Rangel 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 As one of the parents is Thai the Child will also be Thai. He/She can be a dual citizen and have a Thai and a UK Passport. I will leave it for others with more knowledge than me to provide the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 After child is born you should take birth certificate to Royal Thai Embassy to obtain a Thai certificate of birth and a Thai passport. Child can then enter on Thai passport and not require visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child can then enter on Thai passport and not require visa. This is the correct answer. Thais are not officially allowed to have two nationalities.

TerryLH Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 OP If you are the father, and a UK citizen, you can also apply for a UK passport for your child. Having passports from Thailand and another country is allowed by Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 No problem to have 2 passports. Plenty of Thais do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominthat Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Both my daughters have dual nationality - no problems. As a previous poster said. BE SURE THE CHILD ENTERS THAILAND ON THEIR THAI PASSPORT. Sorry for shouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
