I did not have a return flight. Had no problem. Thailand elite visa.

I get it deposited in my US bank. Than transfer using wise. Keep an eye on the exchange rate and transfer when it's high. I use bangkok bank in thailand

Very easy Google transit visa requirements for country you are passing through. Most do not require a visa if you do not leave the air side of the airport.

2 of my daughters just did this in the U.S. lots of paperwork but nothing to complicated

Look close if you do the conversion at the atm they also charge a conversion fee. Think 10% but just look. I know that letting the atm do the conversion would cost you about 30$ in fees above the 220 baht fee. Always decline the conversion

if this is your first time coming you probably will not be asked. It is mostly used to keep out people that are abusing the system. Dress appropriately do not look like a bum and should not be bothered.

I do believe if a Thai birth certificate was issued to you. Than you are already a Thai citizen. So it would just be a matter of uptaning a copy. Than you could get a Thai passport. The Thai consulate is your best resource. The web site addresses deceased Thai parents as well. But also give them a call. They were very helpful when I was researching the process for my kids

@Merry ******

my kids didn’t have a Thai birth certificate so they had to show all the paperwork that their mother was Thai. Was a headache because all her stuff was expired so she had to update it all before they could apply. I think once they had all that it was pretty quick. They were issued birth certificate and a passport. If your married they may give you a passport in your madden name than you have to have it changed after.

2. Of my daughter just finished the process. If you were actually issued a Thai birth certificate it will probably be easier. If you are in the U.S. go on the Thai consulate web site. They tell you step by step what you need to do. You can also call them their response time was pretty quick. They speak very clear english. Both my kids born in the U.S. to a Thai mother. Did it them self’s with no need for an attorney or agency. The consulate may be able to help you get a copy of your Thai birth certificate if you know what province you were born
