Hi my thai gf has just had our baby in australia after being here on a student visa for the past 11months. We are going to travel back to thailand in the near future and I would like to understand what I need for the baby.
Do I need to get our baby a australian and thai passport? And would I do this before going to thailand or process her thai passport there ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking advice on obtaining passports for their newborn baby, who was born in Australia to a Thai mother on a student visa. They are unsure whether to apply for both Australian and Thai passports before traveling to Thailand or if they can process the Thai passport in Thailand. Respondents suggest registering the birth with the Royal Thai Embassy in Australia and obtaining both passports, advising to leave Australia on the Australian passport and enter Thailand on the Thai passport.
