ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A Thai father, unmarried to the British mother, seeks advice on the process of obtaining Thai nationality for their child born in the UK. The Thai embassy in the UK requires an FCDO certified paternity test for the birth certificate and asserted that obtaining the birth certificate in the UK is easier than in Thailand. The embassy indicated the need for the father to enter on a non-O visa and to conduct a DNA test in Thailand. The father is disappointed as he was informed that a child with one Thai parent could qualify for Thai nationality, only to find out that according to the embassy, the Thai parent must be the mother.
