Can I travel internally in Thailand with my baby using only his birth certificate?

Henry *********

If you're British you don't have to register a foreign birth. A translated birth certificate is sufficient for getting a passport.

Can I travel internally in Thailand with my baby using only his birth certificate?

Henry *********

You can travel internally with just the (Thai) birth certificate. If you're British, getting the baby a UK passport (in Thailand) is easy and only takes a few weeks. There is no DNA test; just the baby's birth certificate and the British parent's birth certificates.

Who owns the work permit in Thailand - the employee, employer, or the Ministry of Labour?

Henry *********

And, as another thread has discussed, there is a chance you may be asked to show it when re-entering Thailand, so it should certainly be carried when travelling.

How can my wife obtain a Non-Immigrant O Visa while in Thailand?

Henry *********

You can convert the Tourist visa to an O visa at Immigration in Bangkok, as long as there are enough days left for it to be considered. I did this for my wife and then she was added to my Extension. If there is not enough time left, she'll have to get an O visa from a Consulate outside Thailand.

What do I need to do to leave Thailand with a baby born there when their passport is empty?

Henry *********

We didn't do that. My baby's passport was just stamped at the same desk as my wife and me.

You show the Thai birth certificate at passport control at the airport and they stamp the child's passport. See photo.

Is the online appointment booking system for re-entry permits at Chang Wattana effective and reliable?

Henry *********

I turned up to get one for my wife, without her, and they initially refused. However I was referred to the Supervisor and pleaded and grovelled, with lots of wai-ing, and she relented.

Can I extend my Visa Exempt stay in Thailand by traveling to Myanmar with children under 14, and what are the implications of my passport expiring soon?

Henry *********

Kids are not fined or banned for overstaying but their passport is stamped with an overstay stamp. If you're a tourist that should be of no concern. If you plan on staying here for a long time or if the kids will go to school here, I would keep them legal.

What options do I have after being questioned about multiple tourist visas at the Thai embassy?

Henry *********

@Ivan ***********

You have to include colour photocopies of every page of your old passport, including blank pages, when applying for a new UK passport from Bangkok. I don't think they will issue a new passport if you have lots of unused pages.
