larsjohnsson Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I have a friend (Swedish) that was married to a Thai man a long time ago (divorced). They have 2 boys together. One of the boys got his Thai citizenship not that long ago. Can his brother get an extension of stay as dependent ? His mother can get one I suppose.

ubonjoe Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Both the boys are Thai nationals by birth. All that is needed is proof of it to get a passport and ID card. The mother can get an extension as the parent of a Thai. She would have to show 400k baht in the bank or 40k baht income. The brother can get an extension as a returning Thai national. It would require proof that his father is Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsjohnsson Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) The boys are born in Sweden where both parents stayed. And have lived in Sweden until lately. Are they still Thai by birth ? Edited September 25, 2015 by larsjohnsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yes they are Thai nationals by birth because their father is Thai. All that is needed for proof that can be used for a Thai ID card and passport is a Thai birth certificate issued by the Thai embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larsjohnsson Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Ok thanks. What's the best thing for him to do. He is in Thailand now. On a 30 days visa exemption. Should he go to Amphur ? with his dads id card and birth certificate or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I assume you mean the brother that has no Thai birth certificate. He should go to immigration and apply for a one year extension of stay as returning Thai national. If the birth certificate is not in English it will need to be translated to Thai. Having copies of his fathers house book along with ID card should be enough. To get a Thai birth certificate here has to done through the Consular Affairs Department of the MFA. They will forward the application to the embassy in Sweden for them to issue a birth certificate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
