General Information
- Children born in Switzerland/Liechtenstein who wish to apply for their first Thai passport must first obtain a Thai birth certificate from the Consular Section of the Royal Thai Embassy before they can apply for a passport. Click here to learn more about obtaining a Thai birth certificate.
- After obtaining the Thai birth certificate, it is advised to register the child’s name in a Thai household registration (Tabien Baan) at the District Office as soon as possible. The father/mother can register the child themselves or authorize someone else to do so on their behalf.
- For the second passport onward, the applicant must already be listed in a Thai household registration, otherwise a new passport cannot be issued.
- For passport applications for minors under 20 years old, both parents and/or legal guardians must appear in person with the minor to sign their consent.
