Now I would like to share about the child registration process in Thailand, how to bring your kid back to Singapore and then how to finally register as a Singapore citizen to officially have a dual citizenship till 21 years old.
Correct just after the kid is born, you will have to get a Birth Document from the hospital certifying that the kid is born at the hospital, who the parents are and particulars relating to the new born. You will have to fill up a form with the parent’s detail and give it to the hospital before they can method this birth document. Type is in Thai but you can still write in English.
If I never remember wrongly, you will also have to give them a copy of you and your wife’s IC and marriage certificate. For me, I had my passport and marriage cert translated to Thai and got them certified at the Immigration Division so it is straightforward for the hospital to confirm my documents.
It must take about 1 – 2 days to get the Birth Document from the hospital. If you are rushing for time, talk to the nurses nicely and they generally can help to give it to you the subsequent day.
With the Birth Document and the Home Booklet (a little blue book which documents all the residents of a specific house, believe it is call Samut Baan), you will have to go to the district office (Am-per) to register the birth and get the Birth Certificate. If you do not have the Home Booklet at that point of time, you can nonetheless get the Birth Certificate but will have to resister the kid to a residence inside a month of the child’s birth. www.singaporetopimmigration.sg/singapore-citizenship will have to verify with your wife which is the correct district workplace to go primarily based on the spot of resident.
It should really take about an hour or less, including waiting time, to get the Birth Certificate. With this, You child is officially a Thai Citizen and you are also 1 step closer in bringing your child to Singapore and acquiring his Singapore Citizenship.
I would recommend any one performing this to get all needed documents prepared so as not to waste time operating in and out of the hospital to get copies of the necessary documents.
