CNX1984 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Father: US citizen Mother: Thai citizen Son: aged 5, born in US with US citizenship and passport. All of the above now living in Thailand. Although 1 year ago parents got divorced, father got parental control of son, but are still living in Thailand. Father is on good terms with mother/still talks with her. How can the father get a Thai birth certificate/citizenship for his son? The father is under the impression he must go to a Thai embassy in the US to do this. He wants to do it here in Thailand.

AnotherOneAmerican Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 You have it right, gotta do it in the USA. Should have done it before the kid was brought to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayongchelsea Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I got my lawyer to get my daughters Thai birth certificate from London, even though we had moved back to Thailand some 5 years before asking for it. I didn't appreciate at the time you had to apply at the embassy and we were only there a few months. So I am not sure you have to physically be there to do it.. It may have changed since.

Mario2008 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The child is 100% Thai and 100% American. The Thai birth certificate must be applied for at the Thai embassy/ general consulate for the area the child was born. But you can apply through the Thai Foreign Ministry, Consular department. They will process the application for the Thai birth certificate and certify everything. Next they send it to the US for processing by the embassy and they will issue the Thai birth certificate, which is then send to you. www.consular.go.th is their website, mostly in Thai. You probably need to talk to the Thai nationality section. The Consular department is reported to be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
