I have tried to book an appointment. There are tons of paid 3400 Premium lounge or 3450 after hour appointments. There is not one single free biometric appointment. All this after already paying the 4000 plus baht visa fee. Just naked greed.

It must be done from Thailand, you can't do it from the UK. The information is available at the gov.uk website, just follow the instructions, prepare the documents and book an appointment at VFS.

Maybe your time here is up. Once the rose tinted glasses come off you realize why so many Thais want to get out of the place.

Yes I will have.

No i didn't. My understanding is this is not necessary.

I am on the birth certificate and married to his mother.

No it is a first passport.

I would like to know if anyone has experience of getting their child's British passport in the UK. Is it a similar process to get the passport in the UK rather than Thailand? I'm going back to England anyway and I don't live far from the passport office in Liverpool. At the moment, as I live far from Bangkok it would be more difficult to visit the VFS office before I leave for England.

A 1kg bag of frozen pork sausages from Makro. I don't know the brand name but they have a white sticker on the them and are 210 baht. If you don't like these you are far fussier than I am and I am fussy about sausages,

Just look for the top selling bluetooth headphones on shoppee or Lazada. I got some but can't remember the name, maybe TWS. They are one of the best bargains I have ever bought as they were only 300 or 400 baht and I use them all the time now.

I'm going to move back to the UK soon and I am not concerned about the OP's post one bit. Everyone knows taxis are expensive. I never need to use them. I prefer eating homemade food and so the higher priced eating out doesn't concern me. The price of food is about the same but the quality is far higher. Buying 2nd had cars are much cheaper, schools are free etc. The best thing about it is I can earn 3 times as much money and won't feel like a criminal every time I visit immigration.

Go to your local amphur with your Thai wife/girlfriend and ask for a copy of the birth certificate in English, I also got our marriage certificate in English. My wife showed them the original certificates and then they printed the English versions out and stamped them. The price is 10 baht per certificate.

What a useless comment. I have just got the certificates quite easily.

Someone posted it in this forum.

I read that you can get a copy of a birth certificate and marriage certificate in English from your local amphoe. I want to get a British passport for my son who was born in Thailand, I'm British, his mother is Thai. I would much prefer the convenience of getting this English birth certificate to getting his Thai one translated and certified. I would like to know if anyone has experience of using this when applying for their child's British passport.
