Do I need to visit the Thai embassy in London to obtain Thai citizenship for my daughter?

We have done it with our daughter.

You first need to get a Thai birth certificate for your daughter from the Embassy

It might be AI but that is what we saw with my Thai daughter then living in Japan (whole family).

The ID is linked to house papers (Blue Book) , my daughter was in wife's blue book in one of the provinces. When the Blue book was issued for our condo in Bangkok (Samut Prakan) she was 18 and got a new Thai ID for that address. Not a big deal even that both wife and daughter were removed from the house papers in that province (Sa Kaew).

When she (the daughter) needed her Thai passport renewed in Australia, the Royal Thai Consulate in Sydney asked for only 2 things: the expired passport and her Thai ID card.

From the net, but that is how it was for us:

Issuance Details

First ID Card: Must be obtained in Thailand to verify documents and personal identification.

Child ID (Blue Card): Issued to minors (7-20 years old) who have a birth certificate and are in the household registration.

Standard ID (Pink/Blue): Issued to those 15 and older, with the title changing from child to adult.

Make sure when you eventually get her Thai passport that the name is the same as her UK one.

My daughter had problems renewing her UK because her middle name wasn't shown on her Thai passport.

Where you start depends where your daughter is born. Is she born in the UK? Then yes the start point is the Thai embassy there. Is she born in Thailand? Then the start point is the district office in Thailand, where she was registered at birth.

Get Thai passport for your daughter before travel to Thailand. Once you're in Thailand, bring the birth certificate to district office to add your daughter in the house registration book which your wife has her name in. Then get the Thai ID for your daughter

reverse uno! Good for you sir! 🤣

I think your daughter needs to be included on the family book in Thailand. You have to be in Thailand to do this. The embassy in London should be able to confirm the requirements. Emails are usually quicker.

Okay, my first answer was perhaps a bit short.

A) for Thai citizenship, you should do it in Thailand - much simpler.

B) you might want to take care that the kids have a UK citizenship, too.

So, after you are certain about B) (either way), tackle A)

To make it more clear: your kid is already a Thai citizen, it only lacks the papers. Having a Thai parent makes you a Thai citizen - or gives you the privilege to be one. The rest is just paper work.

Do it in Thailand. Makes no sense to bother an embassy with that.

It's the best for the Daughter

Contact the Thai Embassy and get the ‘’correct” information!🤪

How old is your daughter

Did you get her an unabridged birth certificate? , so she can apply for both passports, as in British and Thai !

every kid born to a Thai mother can get a Thai passport, regardless where the kid was born. However technically only in countries that allow double citizenships. Just get an appointment with the Royal Thai Embassy London, take the birth certificate with you and documents which prove the mother is a Thai citizen, visit the embassy and apply

So?

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 don't know

I got my son's in Thailand easy less hassle

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.

Get it done in London, bcz if you need any additional documents you can it right away. It's quite easy I believe bcz I also have the mixed kids too.

Best go to Thai citizenship group and he has great website detailing exactly what to do. Your going to get about 20 different answers here and mostly wrong.

You can do it here in Thailand 🇹🇭

You’ll need birth certificate

Marriage certificate

Along with proof of address here in Thailand

No don't create problems...

just arrive there like the migrants arriving here..

The Manuel stroke

I know nothing

It works..

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 ?

Buy health insurance asap

My Thai wife and I......... "English"

Does she have a thai birth certificate

Go online and sort it straight away, I got my son a British passport when he was 2 years old

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.

Me and my wife had to attend, it lasts I think 4 years then you need to go every 4 years until they are 20 then they can do it themselves
