How can an Australian citizen with a Thai mother obtain a Thai passport?

There is a Bangkok Bank in NY which is a commercial branch.

What bank in USA 🇺🇸 can connect to Thai Branch ?

Contact the Thai consulate closet to where you live

I think mum and you with DNA go to Thai embassy

Wow ! Some very nasty toxic people on this ! Shocking ! Just be kind !!!!

Let’s cut through the bullshit. The only way if your mum is not documented as you say is she needs to be in Thailand and will need a family member to vouch for her plus be registered on the house address. A birth certificate helps. Once those things are establish birth certificate , house registration and family members to be present with her at the Amphoe. You will fill in a shit ton of paper work and if she has Australian citizenship that must also be translated into Thai as also her marriage certificate. This is just to establish you for a Thai ID card they will notify you when to go back it can take a few months it depends. Once you have your Thai ID you can then a month later apply for your Thai passport.(has nothing to do with immigration)

I went through this in 2013 to have my Thai citizenship reinstated having lived in Australia as an Australian citizen for 40 years. Now I have dual citizenship.

Oops .. as long as your mothers name is registered on your birth certificate and she can prove who she is in Thailand with family members to help her.

You will need your Australian citizenship & birth certificate translated and be present at the Amphoe where this is all done . They are the ones who determine if they will issue you a Thai ID based on the documents you are requested to submit. It takes patients believe me and if you want it fast an envelope helps 😉

Wow. This group used to be helpful. A respite from the other visa group. Good luck Melissa..

Hi! I did this but from america which should be the same. You first have to file for Thai birth certificate. The thai embassy tells you what documents you need from both your parents. I had to lcall into the Thai embassy in LA, which answered my call yesterday about another question, so if you want call that one. However, you local one may ask for something slightly different. Also, they give you forms to fill out. There are more work if your parents were not married and you use your dads last name. He must write a letter saying he allows you to use his last name.

-thai birth certificate form

-your birth certificate

-parents ID

-thai parents thai ID, i forget if passport is ok

-your ID

Then when you get this, you can apply for thai passport. Then when in Thailand, you can apply for Thai ID which requires your thai parent to register you into a house (tabien baan). Thai parent has to be present. If already passed, they accept dealth certificate. Or 2 siblings can come and verify. This was the hardest part for me. But you dont need Thai ID if you dont plan on working or buying house here. If you just want the passport, you dont need this.

Ask your mum 🤪

It’s not that complicated but it requires you have a copy of your birth certificate , and you need you to present your mother’s “Tabien baan” . You need to do this in Thailand and it should be in the district the Tabien baan belongs to . You should speak thai , but it’s not necessary, you must have a relative that’s listed on the Tabien baan with you if possible and hopefully you were listed on it - if not you will be once the paperwork is issued , you will get a thai citizenship ID card , depending on your age you may have to register for military service , you then can apply for a thai passport - all of this is very quick if you have your paperwork filled out and a family member with you - your papers translated and certified lots of photocopiex etc ... it took my daughter no time at all ...

If you don’t have these things, then it becomes more difficult , and tea money is not in play for this ... you will

Need a thai relative in Thailand to work with you - they must bring all thier papers with them - you mother would need her id and passport too and both you and them need pgotocopies of everything !! And pasport photos .

In bkk the main office is Chaeng Wattana Government complex ... dont bother with agents and just get your number and wait !

There is a wAy to do this with some embassys but i only know the way we did my daughter - who was an adult ...

It was less than 2000 baht and you pick up your passport in two days .. it’s pretty straight forward

I thought Adult Thais can't have dual nationality.

Send your birth certificate and mother proof of Thai nationality to your nation's Thai Embassy for a Thai birth certificate registration (If out of country) and then just go to the local Amphor office when in Thailand. Much faster than Doing the whole process in Thailand as they will have to mail paperwork to you country of nationality told me about 3 month for my kids.

Can have both passports. Go to Thai embassy

I cannot speak for Australia but I think they are the same requirements.

I grew up in Europe and my children were born in Europe. We all have 2 citizenships and all 2 passports. It has only advantages and it is a mistake to choose one. It is even very difficult and sometimes impossible to get rid of the Thai citizenship.

Have you heard of the Oedipus route?

If you were born in Australia you can get a Thai by decent citizenship. Or if born in Thailand it's the other way around. First step is getting the birth certificate from where you weren't born. Once you have that it reasonably easy. As you said you are Australian I'll tell you the Thai end. After you get the Thai birth certificate you need to get your house registration over there. Your mum will know about it. Once you have that you can get a Thai passport. But remember when you leave Australia you must leave here with your Aussie passport only otherwise you will have to get a visa to get back. Or a shitload of problems. My wife and adult daughters have both passports. And my 2 Thai Aussie grandaughters have both birth certificate. But only Australian passports. They were both born here. Whenever you need advice on this stuff you should always ask the embassy. Good luck

Yes u can but u will lost ur Australian passport.

My daughter who has a British citizenship and passport her Mum is Thai would it be worth getting her a Thai passport. Just curious 🤔

Doesn't bother where you are borm, you just need to have a thai birth certificate from thai embassy, which they will need either one of your parent with a thai citizenship. they will do. And you wont able to have both citizenship, so need to cancel the one you are in

Buy it on Craig’s list lool

Where were you born?

If you was born in Australia you mother should have registered you with the Thai embassy in Australia.

Talk to the embassy they will advise you.

Messaging you.

Khaosan road

Fb can not give u anny good answer call the local embassy to get a clear and only justify answer

I think if you contact the Thai Embassy they may help you Were you born in Australia? Or in Thailand ?

Why don’t you ask your mother to help, considering she’s Thai would help right?

Thai embassy will advise.

I don’t know if Australia allows duel nationality but in Europe I know many people who have 2 passports. They get mothers details and copy of birth certificate and apply for a passport however if you are in Oz the embassy is the right place to start.
