What are the best options for getting British passports for my children in Buriram after their mother's passing?
Hello ,sadly my Thai wife passed away just before Covid (cervical cancer. I have two kids with her. I'm from the UK and her sister looks after them in Buriram. I need to sort out British passports for them. Does anyone know any agents In Buriram that can do this.

They will need your Long Form birth certificate to prove that you are British Otherwise than by Descent. Also their Thai birth certificates, translated into English. Everything else should be straightforward.

You will need to translate their birth certificates into English.You could also get both of them British birth certificates from the British Embassy in Bangkok as their father is British.

yes I need to get passports for them but they live in Thailand, I'm in the UK so don't know what to do or how about getting them. They don't speak English so I need someone in Thailand who can explain as they have the documents neededStuart *********
@Del *****
The British Embassy has nothing to do with passport issuing these days. It’s done by a company called VFS.
