Reader question: Can I acknowledge my child in Thailand with a form from the Netherlands?
Dear readers,
I have a simple question that apparently doesn't seem simple. The question is: Can you arrange for my Thai girlfriend to have our child registered in my name by sending a document from the Netherlands to Thailand?
Sent this question to the Dutch embassy in Bangkok last year. With the response that I can write the child in my name in the Netherlands with the permission of a Thai girlfriend. So this is not what I am asking!
That's why I ask Thailandblog again.
Or is it not possible at all? And do I have to be present in Thailand for this.
Regards,
Thaiaddict73
It is not clear from your story whether the child has already been born. If it is an unborn child, you and your girlfriend can go to the embassy in Bangkok to authenticate it, ie declare that you are the ace father.
If the child was already born in Thailand, I assume that you have the hospital papers and the amphur declaration. If all goes well, your name will then be listed as the father on both forms.
If not, I think you should go to the amphur in Thailand in person to make a statement acknowledging the child. I cannot imagine that a statement issued in the Netherlands will suffice.
You can submit a request for recognition at the local district office, so I'm afraid you have to go to Thailand for that. I am not aware of any alternatives that you can also have an authorized person do this.
Both the mother and the child must agree to the request.
This means that the child must at least know/realize/accept who the father is and the child must also be able to write his or her name for signature.
Normally, children under the age of 7 are not considered capable of this, in which case the procedure through the court must be followed for recognition.
When registering the birth you can choose which family name the child will receive, you must be listed on the birth certificate and they also need your passport to draw up the birth certificate.
If you also want to give it the NL nationality, there are other procedures. I am Belgian and did it for my children at the embassy in Bangkok, I do not know the procedure for NL.
My girlfriend is due in July/Aug, but as I read from these two comments, my suspicion has been confirmed. I wanted to be sure whether or not it would go. I'm going myself or I can't until October after Thailand so it'll have to wait a while.
You can recognize your child in the Netherlands and/or in Thailand………The Thai way is more complicated than the Dutch version. I've been working on this for the past few months! So I know what I'm talking about. In the Netherlands it is a bit easier and faster and costs no money, the Thai way is a lot slower and more expensive. I'm not married and then you have to adopt your child according to Thai law…….difficult story and authorities don't work. I have been to ampur, tesseboun, court and have spoken to several lawyers…..there are few people who work at those authorities who really know their business (regularly received the LOOK). At least, that is my experience, also applies to BUZA, NL embassy in Bangkok and also to authorities in NL. One says this and the other says that. Because of all those procedures and rules it has become a mess. Good luck!!!
