Awk Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Hello, I'm departing Thailand with our daughter, who has my surname in both her Thai and foreign passport. I am wondering if there could be any problem if I, the father, depart Thailand with my daughter, but without our daughters mother (my wife)? Will I need some sort of written permission from our daughters mother? My daughter will be departing Thailand on her Thai passport. Likewise I wonder about the opposite; will my wife need any special permission from me if she departs Thailand with our daughter, but without me? Regards, Awk. reason for edit: typos.

merijn Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Normally this is not a problem. The only issue i see is when you use your own passport and your child the Thai passport. Maybe this will raise some eyebrows at the immigrations desk at the airport. I don't have experience with this situation, you can ask at your local immigration office.

Mario2008 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thailand doesn't require written permission, but other countries might when entering, although they usually won't make a big problem if you don't. So a very basic letter wouldn't hurt, but is not required. Taking a copy of the birth certificate is also useful. You will need it when the child was not born in Thailand and entered on a foreign passport. (Also in case a foreign child is born in Thailand and wants to leave the birth certificate is required). At check-in with the airline show both passports to confirm no visa is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
