Child’s First British Passport Service in Pattaya or From Anywhere in Thailand

Apply from our Pattaya office or by post from anywhere in Thailand for a cost of 14,000 baht (passport + service fee).

Applying for your child’s first British passport doesn’t have to be complicated. Key Visa Thailand offers a complete, stress-free service designed to guide you through every step of the process with confidence and clarity.

Our Child’s First British Passport service includes full document checking, certified photocopies, professional English translations, submission of the application in Bangkok, and secure collection of your child’s new passport once it is issued.

Is Your Child Eligible for a British Passport?

If one parent is a British citizen and the other is a Thai national, and both parents are named on the child’s Thai birth certificate, your child is eligible for a British passport.

This is an invaluable benefit for your child’s future — whether you plan to travel now or simply want to secure their citizenship rights early.

Passport Validity & Renewal

A child’s British passport is issued for 5 years
It can be renewed every 5 years without difficulty
At age 16, the passport validity changes to 10 years

Applying early ensures your child has uninterrupted access to their British nationality.

Marital Status & Dual Nationality

Your child’s eligibility is not affected by marital status, provided the child was born on or after 1 July 2006.

Thailand allows dual nationality, so if the other parent is Thai, your child may legally hold both a Thai and a British passport.

We strongly recommend applying as early as possible, as nationality rules can change. Securing your child’s British citizenship now protects their rights for the future.

You can send your documents to us anywhere in Thailand via EMS. Once received:

We carefully check all documents

“Dear everyone at Key Visa Co,
I’m writing to thank you for securing my daughter’s first UK passport.

I was tempted to do it myself, but after considering the prospect of having to make two trips to Bangkok, plus the inconvenience and expense of getting all the Thai documents translated into English, It seemed to make a lot of sense having you do it for me while I got on with my life.

Now it’s done. The service was very friendly, efficient and professional. We are now planning a trip to England soon.
Many thanks, Frank Wall”.

Please note that all the Thai documents supplied are translated to English making sure that your child’s name has been spelt correctly. You must also photocopy all pages including every passport page in color. The reason is because after we submit, the HMPO in Bangkok sends the copies to the UK not the originals.

STEP 1

When to apply

You should apply for the passport as soon as you can and the British parent needs to be in Thailand with their passport for the application to be submitted so make sure you are available.

STEP 2

How to apply

You should start by downloading the application (O) form, for overseas, and complete it, making sure you do not forget two major things as listed below.

The British Passport application should be completed in black ink only not blue.
You complete the back page of the form and have a countersignature on the form preferably a British Citizen who knows you or the child depending on age and has done for approximately 2 years.
Also make sure they countersign one of the passport photographs.
The box guidelines on each page of the OS application form will explain how to fill in the form.

Download The Application Form

You then download the credit card form from the British Embassy website and fill it in with the correct details
Payment will be deducted from your account by the passport office in the UK at the HMPO and do not worry it is very secure.
If you live in Thailand and do not have a credit or UK debit card then maybe you have a friend or family who can assist with their card it does not have to be in your name.

Download The Credit Card Form

As part of our service Key Visa will then make an appointment via e-mail with theHMPO office located on Sukhumvit Road, Soi 13, Bangkok and we then will receive your application appointment within three days.

Key Visa staff will then take your application to Bangkok and submit the paperwork and bring back the important original documents to our office in Pattaya so they can be collected immediately after submission.

How to send your passport application to us by post

Documents to bring to the office

You must supply both passport application forms completed in black ink, the OS application form and the credit card payment form.
You must supply two passport photographs size 35mm wide by 45mm high the pictures must be taken with a white background or a light grey and if the photographs are wrong then it will hold up the process. Check the photo guidelines here.
You must make sure you bring the documents listed below – do not worry we will do the color copies.

STEP 4

Collecting Your Passport

Either you or Key Visa will receive a telephone call or an e-mail from the HMPO office when your passport has arrived.
