    Thai / Foreign child using foreign passport on overstay can be troublesomes ?

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    We were recently at the Thai Embassy in London registering our childs birth and doing the Thai passport, our child was born in the UK and has Thai mother and I am a british national.

     

    We were told a child must have a visa to stay more than the 30 days on arrival, we did'nt have it so were told to inform immigration on arrival, they understood our situation and said it would not be wise to continually use this method and they are aware of it as a problem with many children staying over.

    OP good luck with everything hope it all works out in the end. 

    Hi , just an update to my thread,

     

    we recently attended the Thai embassy in London with the intention of getting my son a Thai birth certificate only , but it was explained to me and my wife he could only apply for birth cert and passport together, luckily I had two copies of all documents required plus the photos , so after a bit of a panick my wife with a bit of assistance from folk there and embassy staff got the forms filled out and we submitted the application for both and had our baby's passport photos taken by the embassy.

     

    The woman also said they strongly advise against babies travelling on a non Thai passport and staying over the thirty day visa on arrival , she said our baby should be ok this time as he is travelling with his mother so it will not cause any trouble but we really should have applied for a visa beforehand and she will need to inform immigration on arrival.

     

    When they checked in at the airport there were no mention of visa's.

     

    My advice regarding the Embassy is , arrive as early as possible, be prepared with your forms and supporting documents, and be patient you will get there, the embassy waiting area is very small and with visa collections from 11am to 12pm it was chaos.

     

    And finally they only deal with enquiries from 9am to 12.30pm. 

     

    Best of luck to everyone doing similar and thanks for all the advice from you guys :)

    The baby can travel on a UK passport. Only issue can be that the people at the check in counter at the airport can refuse him on the plane if the airliner has the policy you need a valid visa if the return date on the ticket is more as 30 days after entering Thailand. I have a friend who had the same in the Netherlands. She got questioned at the check in counter of Eva Air but the baby was allowed because the mother had a Thai passport.

     

    Officially he will be overstaying if entering Thailand with a UK passport and stay for 5 months but for kids below 12 years there are no consequences.

     

     

    His mother has a Thai passport so hopefully it will be fine.

     

    I told my wife to visit her local immigration office in Thailand when they arrive and explain the situation so hopefully they might extend his visa.

    Dont worry about conscription as UJ says it 21 years away might not even be conscription by then. Get him registered at Thai embassy. I would even delay coming over untill he gets his Thai passport. Saves a lot of hassle.

    We can't delay going because its all booked to go, and the dates for London are also set so its not financially possible for us to change everything since we are travelling down from North Scotland.

    It is for his benefit in the future. Without one he can never get a Thai passport, house book registration and a ID card.

    Doing it later in his life will be much more difficult. The embassy is the only place it can be applied for.

    Thanks mate.

     

    sounds very worthwhile then, does it mean he could be selected for the army in later life or is that only if he is registered in Thailand ?

    Hi Tim,

     

    we basically only arrive in London on the Thursday evening so have only one day to register my sons birth before my wife and son fly to Thailand on the Saturday. Registering the birth shouldn't be an issue , and I am not sure about the E-passport because its says by appointment only but I cant find anywhere to make an appointment on the thai embassy website in London.

     

    Yes we definetly want to avoid a military call up further down the line , that was on my mind.

     My wife (Thai with Thai passport) is planning to take our little boy back to Thailand for 5 months, he was born in the UK April 2017 and holds a UK passport, when he travels his birth will have been registered at the Thai embassy in London a couple of days before.

    They are both travelling together from London to BKK with a return flight booked.

    Is this likely to cause any problems for flying there ?

    As I would imagine he will get the standard 30 day visa on arrival, will my wife be able to get his visa extended at her local immigration office ?

    Just to let everyone know , that we recieved notification that a decision has been made on our application, we must now wait 2 working days before my wife can collect the documents so it will be Thurs or Fri before we find out.

    My wife never had any calls from the embassy or any requests for more papers ? Is this normal because i thought there was usually a phone interview ?

    Thanks

    Hi ,

    Ive gone threw this and i would say there is a good chance she will get lonely as my wife did but there is things you can do to help.

    Get her a Lebarra mobile sim card , calls to thai mobile are 6 p min or landline 3 p a min , you can set auto top up for her online.

    Try and arrange some of your friends or family to visit threw the day when your at work and perhaps take her to the local shops or for a bite to eat , it helps break up the day.

    Stock up on plenty of thai cooking essentials and other foods, my wife missed the food in a big way.

    Try and have things planned for the weekends to get you out the house.

    Is there any places she could go and do voluntary work ?

    Our Application was submitted yesterday, every thing went ok , arrived an hour early had to wait an hour for the wife to come out.

    And now i guess the long wait starts , though its a relief to finally be free of those documents , i have an anxious feeling that the decision is now out of my hands , but heres hoping they grant the visa.

    Thanks to the help of all the people that offered advice and guideance with the process, your help has been excellent.

    If anyone needs any help or advice just give me a shout

    Cheers
