My thai wife, is going back to thailand for a holiday.

She live's with me in australia, & we are married she is a permant resident. We have a 6 month baby boy.that she is taking with her, on a Australian passport, going for 3 months

My question is can she get him a thai passport without me present, i ask this as she is taking all his documents with her, eg marriage cert , birth cert.

I think so, but it may cause complications as he should leave Thailand on the passport he enters with; his Australian one.

This would leave him in Australia holding a Thai passport issued in Thailand but without an exit stamp; which may cause problems when he tries to use it to enter Thailand.

If he exits Thailand with his new Thai passport he will then have an Australian passport with an entry stamp but no exit stamp.

Remember that it is not just the stamps in the passport, there is also a computer record kept.

Probably better to get him a Thai passport from the Thai embassy or a Thai consulate in Australia before he leaves.

I've amended you topic title to give more information about your question and I'm moving this to Thai visas etc. where you will probably get better replies.

she won't be able to.

She'll require a couple of things which it sounds like she won't have with her:

- you. A Thai child's passport requires both parents present.

- A Thai birth certificate: Given your son was born in Australia, the only Thai government institution which is able to issue the birth certificate is the Thai embassy in Canberra. The BC states the child's natinoality as Thai. No BC = No passport

- The house register (tabieen baan). A passport appication in Thailand requires a person to have an ID number and be registered on the Thai house register.

The usual way to get a Thai passport (for an overseas born Thai citizen, like your son)is via the Embassy. They then use this passpor to enter Thailand (without restriction) and then can use the documentation to get a Thai ID number and house registration.

As said birth registration from Thai Embassy will be required and first passport should be obtained from them (as no home registration required). Enter on that passport, obtain ID and get entered on a home register (and ID card if/when they issue to all). Next passport can then be obtained in Thailand without a problem.

Both parents must sign paperwork but there is provision for one to be physically absent (would likely require visit to Embassy in Oz) but without birth paperwork from Embassy and registration in Thailand it is a non starter.
