My son was born in Thailand and his his mother is a Thai citizen so obviously he’s (half) Thai.

When he was 7 he came with me to the UK (I’m a British citizen) and we have both lived together in the UK for the past 7 years

Now he’s 14 he is returning to his mother in Thailand to finish his studies at an international school.

His Thai passport has expiring a few years ago

He has years left on his British passport.

My situation and question is this

If he returns to Thailand on his British passport, he will get a visa exemption at immigration.

However, he has a Thai ID card and in my opinion he doesn’t need a visa once the exemption expires because he’s a Thai national and once in the country that’s it.

But his mother thinks he has to come in on a Thai passport otherwise he will end up needing a visa.

Am I correct?

Or is his mother correct?

Thanks 🙏

I am looking for experience applying for an education visa for Thailand in Georgetown/Penang or Kuala Lumpur. The school I want to study said I should get in contact, but so far nobody replayed. Does anybody has experience with applying in Malaysia? Please only if you did it, I know I can go to Laos but I am interned in KL or Pengang. Please also let me know if you went there and they didn’t do it. Thank you so much.

I would like to know how many days do I need to get the education visa since I have a visa interview.

I ordered a interview next Tuesday, I am not sure if I can go to Thailand at about Dec 18.

If anyone knows, please tell me, thank you very much.
