My truck is registered in Chon Buri, and garaged in Buri Ram. No issues getting the registration renewed in Buriram. Been told it’s common.

I previously have booked tickets with Thai Airways which have a departure and return date. I have then cancelled my return flight, and booked another date, sometimes 2 to 3 times. There was a fee of 500 baht each time I did this. Not sure if it is still the same as I haven’t done it for a while. Maybe contact Thai Airways for confirmation. I’m sure it would be cheaper than a flex ticket. Good luck.

@Martin *******

not flex/open ticket. Normal return ticket. Easy to change flights. Done it lots of times. Pretty sure last time was 500 baht

You could book a return ticket with Thai Airlines, putting an approximate return date, then change the flight when you know your return date. Not too expensive.

especially if he can’t speak perfect Thai, and forget about any type of leadership position.

My understanding is that he can get a passport. He has to do it in Thailand, and be included on your wife’s family book. Unfortunately, being the holder of a Thai passport, he would be eligible for military conscription.

I think it depends on age. My 17 year old son has been told he has to be registered in Thailand before he can get a Thai passport. He was born in Australia, they gave him a Thai passport in Australia when he was young.

you have to apply at the Australian consulate, which is close to the embassy. Access is limited to the embassy.

I used a visa service center in Pattaya for all the visas for my now wife. Very efficient, not too expensive, and took away a lot of anxiety for her and I. I think you can find them in most major cities.

I believe that children born overseas need to included on the family book in Thailand before they can apply for a Thai passport. This was not the case previously, and can only be done in Thailand.
