Hi. My Thai wife and I are researching whether it is possible for our adult daughter to obtain a Thai passport. We live between UK and Thailand and have a house and about 2 rai of land here in Thailand, which we want her to inherit. We are both well over 60! My daughter was born in UK

Thank you for any advice
Answer summary
The process for an adult daughter born in the UK to obtain a Thai passport is feasible since Thai citizenship is passed through the maternal bloodline. To proceed, she must have her Thai mother as a parent and should ideally be registered on her mother’s Tam Bian Baan (house registration) and have a Thai ID card. Key documents required include her birth certificate (translated into Thai), the mother’s Thai ID, marriage certificate, and other identification. The Thai embassy in the UK will provide specific instructions. Several community members have successfully navigated this process, indicating that while it involves considerable paperwork, it is manageable.

Since your daughter was born outside of Thailand, a Thai birth certificate can only be done by the Thai Embassy/Consulate in the country where she was born (the UK). I know in the USA, you need to get a birth certificate from the originating authority (the state), and then authenticate the birth certificate at the state and federal level before it's presented to the Thai Embassy. They will also need two passport photos of your daughter. Some other documents you'll need are your marriage certificate, your wife’s Thai ID card, Thai passport, and Thai house registration info, both your wife and your UK passports, and another form of identification card such as a driver’s license. There were a few forms to fill out (in Thai). We did not have to physically visit the Embassy, we were able to mail notarized copies of everything (except the original authenticated birth certificate). The process was pretty easy if you have above documents. I’d imagine the process would be similar in the UK. The Thai Embassy in UK should have some instruction in English, or give them a call. The Thai Embassy in USA has always been very helpful!

One small note: The Thai birth certificate contains height and weight at birth, but our state does not have those on the birth certificate! The Embassy had us provide a document from the hospital with this information to put in the Thai birth certificate.
