Home » Reader question » Start a family reunification procedure to bring my wife's Thai son to Belgium?
Dear readers,
Together with my Thai wife (who has been with me in Belgium for one year) I will start the family reunification procedure to bring her Thai son (now in Thailand) to Belgium for good.
Has any of the readers here done this (not too long ago)?
The problem is that the father is abroad and therefore not available. Have already found somewhere that a Phor Khor 14 must be obtained at the amphur, translated and legalized for the embassy. Is this still correct? And who will have to sign it?
Regards,
Pascal (BE)
In your letter you do not make it clear whether the father has acknowledged the child and how old it is.
I myself recently brought my girlfriend and her two minor children to the Netherlands.
All necessary documents were sent to the IND through a lawyer. It refused the parental authority document and had to be applied for again, although it met all the requirements. (father had never acknowledged the children). When the next document of parental authority was submitted (same document), the IND suddenly stated that the father had to go to the Dutch embassy to sign for permission. Have refused this because I have sted that he has no parental authority. The IND then deferred the application and refused to give a reason for it. In the end everything turned out fine. I just want to indicate that you have to pay close attention to what the situation is and what you need. You quickly get into a tug of war and easily get the short end of the stick
First of all, make it clear that different rules apply in the Netherlands and Belgium.
My wife's son (child from a former relationship) is currently in Belgium - that went quite smoothly.
The biological father was found with us (after a long search) and, after some mutual discussion, he signed a document for free with the necessary decisiveness. If that man cannot find it, there is a regulation at Amphur that replaces that document
The Belgian embassy does not ask that the biological father register there - documents from Thai institutions are more than sufficient.
Furthermore, the procedure is quite simple.
I would advise you to contact the Belgian embassy and inquire about which documents you need in your case!
This way you have first-hand information!
Success!
I've already done that but haven't gotten an answer yet.
A few years ago I had my wife's daughter come to the Netherlands. We then first changed the daughter's last name to my wife's last name. This was not necessary but useful when traveling. Then fill in the khor ror 14 document and collect witnesses who can confirm that the Father is out of the picture. A very smooth procedure and no problems at all with the IND. It will be different, of course, when the father is in the picture and refuses to give his consent.
