@Tod ********

get my UK birth certificate legalized or both UK and Thai birth certificate legalized?

Yeah we rang chaengwattana they want my mum present but she's still in England for the time being.

Anyway thanks for your help Tod and I hope these updates help somebody in the future.

Just as a follow up for anyone in the future

I've been in email contact with the Thai London embassy and they say as I'm not a child and I have neither Thai ID or tabien baan the ministry of foreign affairs will not approve an application by me for a Thai passport.

It is possible in Thailand with the Thai parent present to first add the applicant to the Tabien baan then apply for Thai ID. First Thai passport can be applied for on their own if they are in possession of a Thai ID.

for the rest of your life!?

The UK always has to show proof so I'm glad you do too ha

Thanks very much

Thanks Tod that's great news. I'm currently on an ED visa extension so Im aware I need a letter from my university to cancel my current ED extension ... Would I be able to just swap straight over to the year extension of stay if I went to chaeng wattana or would I have to leave Thailand first. ( I currently live in Bangkok and my university is in Bangkok)

Thanks

Thanks.. That's something else I forgot to ask, which countries will allow me to swap passports in? As which ever way you look at it I will end up with a departure stamp or arrival stamp in the wrong/other passport.

My mum does not live in Thailand anymore, she has to be with me when I apply 😔
