My thai wife has english and thai passport which one should she use for holiday leaving uk to thailand and visa versa return

I am a US citizen and just had a baby with my Thai girlfriend. My understanding was that less than 60 days after birth, I can legitimize my child at the district office. Now I am being told I need a lawyer/interpreter that will cost anywhere between 60,000-100,000 baht.

My plan was to legitimize our child, and then apply for a 1 year visa at the immigration office. I went into the immigration office and they told me it would be a 1 year visa. They didn't mention what one that would be.

There is also the option of getting a free lawyer, but this will take about a year. I wouldn't mind waiting a year, but I am worried if that will change my visa situation. The immigration officer told me on my last border run I would have to fly out of the country for my next run.

I am looking mostly to make sure my visa situation will be good here in Thailand for a while. The money I can come up with, but it is a large expense. If you can offer any guidance to me with regards to the visa and legitimation, I would really appreciate it. Thanks again!

I have DTV but I’m considering changing nationality which in my case means canceling my old one. I suppose next I will just need to re-apply with the new passport.

I’m curious if anyone has had any experience.

So I have the advantage of 2 passports. So my question is what passport is best to use for long stay possibly ever. Uk passport and USA passport. Thanks guys.

Has anyone done a border run from Phuket to Padang Besar via Hat Yai? I know there is bus Phuket-HatYai and mini van HatYai-Padang?

And about the actual border crossing, is it possible to exit with the passport I came in with, and re-enter with another passport (dual citizenship)?

hello, does anyone have experience applying as a dual citizen?

I hold an Australian and a British passport.

I plan to apply using my Australian passport. My first three months of bank account statements are from a UK bank account, paid from an Australian company.

Prior to that I was working for a British company.

Has anyone had any issues to do with dual citizenship? or anything to be aware of.

I intend to apply in Vietnam

I’m in Bangkok, went to BangkokBank with US Passport in hand, to set up account using Non-O stamp, TM30 + lease. The lady then asked me to get a Letter from US Embassy Certifying the that my Passport was really mine. No clue why. I guess I could have also brought my California drivers license and my Canadian passport as proof of my ID. What’s my move? Bother with a bureaucratic embassy OR learn my lesson and bring the supplemental IDs to the next branch I attempt to setup an account (do Thais understand the principle of dual citizenship or will using the Canadian passport as ID confirmation confuse them?)

Hi I'm contacting you on behalf of a elderly thai friend of mine .

She unfortunately mistakenly entered Thailand on her US passport and has been put on a non o visa .

She has a Thai ID card She has just renewed her US passport so next time she travels will be a different US passport .

Can she now just forget about the non o visa and just make sure next time she travels make sure she enters Thailand on her Thai passport .

Thanks in advance for any information

Hello! How does a Non-Immigrant O visa work? I’m a Thai National (Dual Citizenship with US) who is married to a US Citizen. We are planning on moving to Thailand next February.

He’s applying for the visa while we are still here since the Thai Visa website says to apply at least 15 days before departure date.

My question is what are the steps we need to take when we arrive?

I’m just learning how Thai systems work since I grew up in the states.

Thank you ka 🙏🏼

A question for visa experts.

I have 2 uk passports, different numbers on them, and yes totally legit.

I have a dvt visa on passport number 1, but must send passport number 2 to the Chinese embassy for a visa there.

So my problem will be in February when I fly in, which passport to use, if I use number 1 then when I leave in March for China I must show the check in clerk passport 2 with the Chinese visa but show passport 1 to immigration

If I fly in using passport 2 then will they be able to know I have a visa and another passport and ask why I’m not using this.

Many immigration don’t know the rules allowing me 2 passports and can’t afford to have 1 confiscated.

What to do. Any visa experts out there 🤷‍♂️
