Does anyone have experience in helping a Thai obtain a passport? I think it is an easy process, but not sure. Don't they have to go back to their home province in order to do the paperwork? Thanks for any help.

My recollection is my wife got her passport only using her Thai I.D. She used thai office at the Central Mall at Bang -Na. The turn around time 1 week. My step kids got theirs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, turn around time 1 week. The kids needed Birth certificates and death certificate of their biological father.

Obtaining a passport is neither difficult nor very expensive for Thais. Their problems begin after they have the passport. It is very difficult, sometimes virtually impossible, for Thais to obtain visas to visit various countries. Obtaining a visa to visit the USA is especially difficult for Thais.

Good to hear obtaining a passport is neither difficult nor expensive. Does anyone know the approximate cost? I suppose a Thai ID, money and a filled in form is about all that is needed? I am sure Western countries are difficult destinations for Thais to obtain a visa, but many Asia destinations should be easy.

I can't remember the actual cost. It has been several years. I think it was around 1000 baht or so.
Thanks for the info. I will post the process if and when I know more.
