Hi all
I was wondering if I could get any advice on here in relation to a parental letter of consent, please.
We are in the process of obtaining a visa for my long-term Thai GF to come to the UK with our daughter (3 years old) My daughter was born in Thailand with me also named as the father on her Birth Certificate. She already has a UK passport but we are applying for her Thai passport in addition. I have been asked to provide a Letter of Consent to allow my GF to apply for our daughter's passport in Thailand and I have managed to download this from the Thai Embassy website, however, I cannot seem to get a straight answer in relation to the verification of the document. Do I need to get the document verified by the Thai embassy before I send it over to Thailand? Or is there another verification of the document required?
It's all very confusing and I would sincerely appreciate it if someone has knowledge of the process. I am in the UK.
Many thanks
