Richard W Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This of course needs to be signed by a solicitor?, maybe have one in Thai one in English? The awkward issue is the notarisation. Now I made a notarised declaration for use in an uncontested transfer of custody in the Thai courts, which meant the expensive use of a 'notary public' (or whatever it is now), which involved the use of an 'apostille'. However, Thailand is not a signatory to the convention relating to their use, which is probably why the Thai consulate in London thinks they have to get involved.

nickynalack Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 @ phucketrichard, correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the consent letter that you were referring to (in Thai sorry lol) http://www.thaiembassyuk.org.uk/?q=node/193 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 ....and submits a notarized consent letter of the non-appearing parent. In the states, there are notary's everywhere, dont know about the UK I would call the embassy an ask what they mean by notarized that info looks right to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they want to try the "stamp the UK passport" route (correct the status to a 30 day exemption instead of the "seen at BKK" in the Thai passport)?

I assume they want to try the "stamp the UK passport" route (correct the status to a 30 day exemption instead of the "seen at BKK" in the Thai passport)? Which won't work from personal experience. Best to start the process at the passport office. Get the right forms for a power of attorney. As then what they need ID wise from the non attending person. Scan, send to UK. Get it signed there along with whatever else, and sent back DHL to Thailand. It is important to understand what the Thai passport here requires for the passport to be issued. So go there first. You are wasting your time with immigtation and the Thai embassy in London as starting points. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualbiker Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Just go down the passport office and ask the question, this is Thailand. Anything is possible if you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryLH Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 "I'm really hoping for their sake that they can sort it at immigration tomorrow...not holding my breath on that though" Wherever you end up going, I think it might have to wait until next week. The 23rd, I believe, is a holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickynalack Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Latest news is all sorted . I don't know the full details yet but it seems the Thai immigration have admitted the error and actually stamped the British passport for them.Right or wrong I don't know but it's sorted now anyway. So 1 week after they arrived they can finally enjoy their holiday. Cheers guys for all the help and suggestions, very much appreciated.

Thai nationals are permitted to enter the country legally on expired or near to expired Thai passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If the original intention was to enter Thailand on the UK passport, the error was to give the Thai passport to the immigration officer at BKK airport. Good to see that immigration changed it later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
