TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, living in the UK with their Thai wife and daughter, is inquiring about the process of securing Thai citizenship for their daughter. Various comments suggest contacting the Thai embassy for specific requirements, with advice emphasizing the importance of obtaining a Thai birth certificate first, which is often needed for citizenship applications. Many expats shared their experiences, indicating that while it is possible to handle the process online or in Thailand, visiting the embassy may still be necessary for certain documents. There is also mention of dual nationality and the importance of acting swiftly to provide citizenship options.

This group is terrible for advice on this as you can see from the comments. There is a Thai Citizen group that is really helpful.

They have a great supporting blog with a page relevant to what you are looking for.

I applied for birth certs 2 weeks ago at the thai embassy London. Daughters are 9 and 12. 2 forms to fill in. You book an appointment via email. Passport appointments are booked later online once you have the certs. I have all the info you need you want it. Homeschooling is okay for your daughter in Thailand. Many ways to do it online. There's a wealth of homeschooling guidance. Don't worry about the naysayers.

It’s easier than you think if she’s still relatively young. It’s good to do it ASAP so to give her that extra option in life. If your wife’s Thai documents are all up to date then it should be fairly straightforward. Please do some research and inquire with the Thai consulate/embassy in London as soon as you can. Good luck.

So you are going to completely destroy your daughter's future by moving from a half decent country to a country where education is minimal and not internationally recognised ?

Let me guess, the only money you have is the sale of the family house and you won't be able to pay the Bt1m a year international school fees which still only produce poor results ?

But you want an easy life, beaches and cheap beer ?

I lived in Thailand, had a daughter and took her to the UK to give her a private education so she had a start in life. Yes, that meant I sacrificed my life, but doesn't any decent dad do that for his kid ?

Andy JohnstonUK is practically a third world country with a failed society. Who would want to school their kids there?

Thailand have great international schools where over 80% of pupils get accepted into international universities.

Easy to do , I’m assuming your daughter is a child ? If so we got ours via the local temple 🛕 who have visits twice a year from the Thai embassy to help with issues like this … Manchester area we did it in approximately 13-14 years ago.

I live in Canada and my Thai - Canadian wife are doing the same for are daughters. In Canada

#1 need to get another birth certificate and marriage certificate each item cost $57.00 dollars.

#2 then I have to go to notary public ( Canada version of a cheap lawyer) and they photo copy my Canadian passport and authorize it.

#3 we mailed the 2 daughters birth certificates and marriage licence to provincial government (BC) to authenticate.

#4 took all documents to Thai embassy in Vancouver 2 birth certificates. 1 marriage certificate and my photo copied authorized passport. Right now they are hopefully okaying everything and when that is done for us are first passport and Thai ID have to be done in Thailand.

I am assuming UK is probably very similar.

Mark ********

but she is British

Neung *******

yes i know she is british and i have daughter who is british as well and my daughter now she get thai citizenship, I'm thai and i contact with Thai embassy in london by send an e-mail to make an appointment with them to make her thai birth certificate first in London,before get an appointment thai embassy will send you all details and documents tell you what they need to you to prepare also the form to apply for her thai birth certificate. Once you have all papers and documents what they need you can book the date to go to thai embassy. For my recommend is his Thai wife should contact with Thai embassy by herself because it easy to contact with them. Once they have her thai birth certificate from Thai embassy in london bring this certificate to Thailand where the Thai mother born to register the birth at the district area after this she can make thai passport or whatever.
