I have asked this question before but it was some time ago when my partner was pregnant, I am an Australian and i now have thai twins to my partner, they were born on the 13 September, so yes there only a couple of months old, I was there for there birth and I am on there birth certificate and they have my last name, the question is about Australian citizenship by Decent, will it be easier to do through the embassy in Bangkok or do in Australia, and what does the process involve. If you have done something like this, any advise would be greatly appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining Australian citizenship by descent for your twins is generally easier through the Australian embassy in Bangkok. You will need to report their birth abroad, provide a Thai birth certificate (translated), and then submit the required documents to the embassy. The embassy's website has detailed instructions on the process, and you could potentially apply for both Australian and Thai passports for them.

Copy of Thai birth certificate , translated and off to the Aus embassy. You should be able to get Aus and Thai passports for them as well

Much easier to do it at the embassy. Embassy website has all the instructions. Not hard.
