Passport for 2 year old

[Sd12]

Hello. Does anyone know if my 2 year old Thai daughter would require a passport to visit Lao with my wife and i, or would her birth certificate be enough? Thanks.

She would need a border pass that can be obtained with a birth certificate and a house book (copy is ok). It officially costs 30 baht but at agents if can be about 50 baht.

Whether the border pass can used will depend upon the border crossing used. There has been reports that they cannot be used due to marital law at the bridge in Mukdahan. Not sure about other crossings.

Thanks for that. Oh well, that was the border we were going to be using. Maybe a silly question but do you know where I get this border pass from?

There is an office for border passes just before the bridge on the left in Mukdahan.

If at another crossing just ask or you will see signs for getting them.

You should get a passport for your child. It only takes a few days to get it.

Thanks for that. I will get a passport.
