Hello everyone,
I have a question that I hope you can help me with,
basically I want my Thai step daughter to come and live with me in the UK.
whilst on my last trip to Buriram we got full legal custody put in my Thai wifes name at the amper with consent from her natural father, all good and on the right path,
we needed to come home due to work etc without sorting out all of the visa etc.

Since coming home her grand parents tried to get her passport made up and have told us that my wife needs to be in Thailand to do this,
I don't know if this is the case as we have already been on a merry go round with ampers and officials when I tried to adopt her when I was there at Christmas, it seemed that the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing and we were sent from pillar to post with no success. And I feel that this could also be the case with the issue of a passport without the presence of my wife.
Is it possible to obtain her passport without us being in Thailand 
or could we do this from the UK?
Please help as any advice would be great as we are very keen to reunite our family.

Regards Jon Terry.

Hi JT

Whilst I do not know the answer to your question I can in fact tell you of our own experience in trying to get a passport for Thai Stepson aged 16.

His father is out of the country so we were unable to get his consent, however after going through the legal procedure my wife was granted sole custody.

This enabled us to get a passport in Khorat and providing you had all the paperwork it was a fairly speedy efficient process. My wife went with him for the application as he had to appear in person for the official passport photograph which is taken on site. Now whether she had to be there with him or not I do not know but suspect yes as his guardian.

What I would suggest is that you ring the Khorat passport office and get your wife to get full chapter and verse on the requirements.

Obtained passports for my 2 children at Korat last year on different days.

First one for son went smoothly, but the 2nd was a problem as they discovered the Thai spelling of surname was different on the birth certificate and house registration. One letter was a Thai "B" and the other a Thai"F". The difference is minute, but they refused to issue the passport and told the wife to go and have everything altered.

My wife agreed, but I refused. (as is my nature!)  Demanded to see a superior, and told him that my son had the same spelling and there was no problem.

Files obtained, huge screen prints obtained, and they had to admit their earlier mistake. Then agreed to issue passport for daughter, provided wife and I signed a disclaimer  absolving them form any liability. Done. No problems encountered when flying.
