Having a baby in a thai hospital on a DTV visa.

Was hoping to find out some information on this.

My partner and i are both Australian citizens. We have both been travelling to thailand on and off for 6 years and hoping to move on a DTV visa shortly however was wondering the process of having a baby would go.

I already have thai health insurance sorted. Its moreso wanting to hear peoples experiences and if theres anything i should be aware about .

Hello! I've currently been on a DTV visa for over a year now. Prior I was on a ED visa. I am now 4 months pregnant. My partner is Thai so my baby will have thai citizenship. Has anyone had any experience switching to a Non O parent/guardian visa from a dtv? My current entry is valid July which is almost my due date. So trying to plan ahead for best course of action. I know I cant apply until the baby is born and birth certificate is available but with entry expiration same as my due date will I be able to apply for medical extension or fly out before hand? Says the process is about 15days is that reality or suggestion? Any advice would be great!

I need some help understanding my current situation, if anyone has been through this, or knows what needs to be done.

Background - I am a foreign national working in Thailand, holding a Non-Imm B visa. I gave birth to a son this January and I checked with Immigration about his non-O visa, they said to get it once he leaves the country before he comes back.

We're visiting home (Ireland) for 15 days this mid-July, so we would need to apply for his non-O while we are there so that he can have it when we're back in Bkk.

Here's where I have a few questions:

1. I cannot apply for it when we're in Bkk, I need to wait until we reach Ireland to apply for it. The consular says I need 15 working days for the visa to come through, but Thai eVisa says it's 3-10 working days. (Going to the consulate is also not an option because the only one for the UK and Ireland is in London.) We don't have 15 working days, so can I actually apply for it anyway before we go?

2. If yes, the online form asks for proof that he is in Ireland. I emailed the consulate to ask what I could use to prove this. They replied with "local utility bills," which obviously he won't have. For this, could I just use my Thailand rental agreement? But that won't prove that he's currently in Ireland, so I'm unsure what would work here.

3. If I can't get the visa on time, he can obviously come back visa-free, but I don't know the process to change that to a non-O dependent visa - if someone could share that with me.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Not sure if this the right group to ask but the gang here is so knowledgeable. Do I need to bring visa and/or US passport and/or other papers to the hospital when my child is born? One site said I needed to have my passport "certified"?(people must mean a certified COPY) And the copy officially translated by MFA so my name could go on the birth certificate? Doctors and nurses at the clinic also had different answers. If it's too far off topic I apologize.

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience around what is required to obtain dual citizenship? More specifically, has anyone ever had to acquire a birth certificate in Thailand.

My situation: I was born in 1973 on a US Army base in Bangkok. I had a US birth certificate but also remember seeing a Thai birth certificate at one point. Both of my parents have passed away and I am looking at the possibility of moving to Thailand to try and connect with my heritage. Anyone else the child of someone from the military? My mother was a Thai native and my father was in the US Army until they brought me to the US in 1974.

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 ?

Going to register my 4 mo. old baby's birth with the US embassy. I'm American and my wife is Thai. My wife and son will be traveling to America in the future. Do i (should I) need to apply for a US passport for him as well? He will be close to 1 year old when going to America. I didn't know if age played any part in this or not. Anyone go through this? Thanks.
