My daughter who was born in the UK , mother Thai I am English .

She only has Thai passport . we will be flying to Thailand can the baby re enter the UK without UK passport ?

Of course she can. I take it that her birth certificate lists her as British, if so just bring this as a precaution.

How will she be allowed to board the return flight travelling to the UK on a Thai passport with out a valid visa,not that she should get one as she is a British citizen.

She should have a British passport also,enter and leave Thailand on the Thai one and enter and leave the UK on a British one simple as that.

Is there any reason why the OP has not obtained a British Passport ?

If it's not necessary I would rather not waste my money on British passport

It's simply not a waste of money,a British passport will afford your daughter easier travel globally than a Thai passport and is a requirement for British nationals departing and entering the UK.

As far as I know a UK birth certificate will not be accepted for entry to UK without some considerable delays or perhaps a denial of entry.

There is also the problem of boarding a flight back to the UK without one.

The wife does not have British passport she just needs to prove she has citizenship which she has , so a birth cert will suffice I presume. ?

Moved to the visas for other countries forum since it is about entering the UK.

Sorry folks, my daughter borrowed my tablet to play games at her friends house and I've just found out the the almost drunk friends father used my tablet to post this.
