Home » Reader question » Reader question: What does a DNA test in Thailand cost to recognize my child?
Dear readers,
I have a Thai girlfriend, and together we have a son.
Now in September I'm going back, and I have to undergo a DNA test to be able to recognize our child for the embassy, this in order to obtain a visa.
My question is can someone tell me how much such a DNA test will cost?
thanks in advance
Albert
Strange question:
In the entire procedure for acknowledging a child, it is nowhere stated that you have to undergo a DNA test for this.
It is even possible to acknowledge a child of which you are sure you are not the biological father.
http://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/erkenning-kind
You can only recognize a child at the Dutch embassy in Iraq.
Consular Decree of 2011;
https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/stb-2011-660.html
I hope this helps you and saves you money for a nonsensical DNA test. If you are not sure that you are the biological father of the child, it is of course a different story!
I had a dna test done on my daughter at Bumrungrad Hospital 7 years ago.
At the time I paid something like 20000 B. So blood is taken from all 3 of you.
I have many questions, because I don't understand it! Did you acknowledge the child on the birth certificate? Who is the visa for? If you answer me first, I can help you further! Know the rules for 100%!!! But to make a guess here is not correct. I have correspondence about this with Franny Isa Holgado, senior consular officer in Kuala Lumpur. I'm waiting… But dna test is indeed totally unnecessary and superfluous. You can also send the question directly, but better explain it to [email protected]
Dear editor,
I would like to contact Mathias because I have been trying to recognize a child for several years now, but all the rules and conflicting advice drive me crazy and would like to communicate with Mathias about this. If you would be so kind as to forward my e-mail address and this message to him.
Yours faithfully,
Other
Dear Andre, we do not forward email addresses.
Belgian joke reminds me of it, test needed; never heard of farang who want certainty, and have a test done, daughter of 9 and no problem at all.
I did acknowledge the unborn fetus at that time, and later our daughter just came to my moon, but I had to arrange it in the hospital immediately after birth.
In addition, she has now shown 2 Thai passports when we go to NL. go and NL when we enter and leave the Netherlands.
Last time I was asked when leaving for Thailand where the mother was, my daughter was also asked this! new procedure apparently.
Protection of the child against unwanted departure by 1 of the parents was mentioned to me,
What a story
The NL embassy is really being silly with a totally inept official: if father acknowledges that it is his child and mother confirms that, then that is 100 percent arranged in accordance with EU regulations,
Have experienced it yourself and just have it registered that you are the father, mother agrees, but that naturally brings your responsibility as a father to the surface. But our son is now happy in Belgium and mother is also happy through family reunification. My son has also received the Eu status and passport through my registration with the local government. So a dual nationality, the mother not yet.
Please inform yourself well because I think that official is just raving.
Good luck
my name is on the birth certificate as the legal father, but he bears my wife's surname, because we are not legally married. i would like to have son and wife with me, either first through short stay, and then through family reunion.
If I request a short stay for my wife, can I request it for my son at the same time?
Strictly speaking, questioner Albert does not write that the embassy demands a DNA test. Looks like he is seeking security himself before formally acknowledging the child…..
well it is indeed true that an official who works at the municipality told me to do a DNA in Thailand for recognition of my son. She also replied that once my wife and son would come to Belgium for a short stay that I would also have to take a DNA test here, in order to obtain child benefit, as well as recognition. I keep hearing different stories everywhere, that's why I'm asking people who are in the same situation this way.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The embassy (the Belgian one if you indeed have the Belgian nationality) will be able to help you with this sooner than a local municipality. In the Netherlands, one desk official sometimes says something different from the other due to ignorance of the rules (you ask something that the official has little or nothing to do with), misunderstand the regulations, introduce outdated rules, etc. Even if a civil servant has something as their core task, they sometimes make mistakes.
I cannot imagine that a DNA test would be mandatory, I think that is only done in cases where there are reasonable doubts or questions (the Netherlands sometimes does that in asylum cases?). The requirements for having a child recognized must be written down somewhere in black and white. So I would consult the embassy and search on a national government website such as the Belgian counterpart of the Dutch “rijksoverheid.nl” where you can find a lot of information and references where you can read in black and white what your obligations (and rights) are. Don't be too quick to rely on the claims of a single official who (with the best or worst intentions) can steer you in the wrong direction! And be especially careful if the civil servant does not chop with this ax every day.
PS: Maybe I'm calling something stupid now, but Crossroads can't help with questions about this, they deal with all kinds of migration / nationality issues?

Dear Rob V. Top that last link, just checked and everywhere they end up on the site with contact the Belgian embassy in country of birth! So Albert: As I stated earlier, send an email to the Embassy in Bangkok and explain in detail what your problem is and what you have questions about. Safest and best way!!!
Here the email address: [email protected]
I'd say get behind that computer and send an email!
first of all a question are you dutch or belgian for my daughter who was also born in thailand we went to the embassy with the thai birth certificate (first translated into english) and applied for a passport there and received it then you don't need a visa i hope that you have something to do with this
@ Rene, this is what I mean by guessing! Delivering to the Dutch Embassy and its incompetent official while it concerns a BELGIAN !!!
Albert: Look, it's becoming clearer now. So you have to arrange it according to Belgian standards and the applicable laws!
Above I have given an email address for the Netherlands because I did not know your nationality. This is not much use to a Belgian. So I would send an email to the Belgian embassy in Bangkok and ask the following questions. Clear questions, not like loose sand in the reader's question!
My son was born in Thailand. I am listed as the legal father on the birth certificate, but the child does not have my last name. What papers do I need for the child to acquire Belgian nationality and what papers do I need so that I can also apply for a Belgian passport. For Dutch standards, all these documents must be LEGALIZED, I don't know for Belgian ones. I would first arrange for the birth certificate to be changed at the town hall where your son is registered!
I just checked the website of the Belgian embassy in Bangkok and not too much information there either. To be honest, it is better described on the Dutch website. See consular services there and only the prices are listed there.
Matthew, thanks for the info.
I think it's safest to send an email to the Belgian embassy in Thailand. thanks everyone for the help.

Also tasty. Are you trying to help someone. Are you looking for information. To share.
It appears to be a question from a Belgian. Nothing wrong with it. But it would have saved a lot of time and effort if that information had also been provided at the front.
No idea how the Belgian legislation on recognition works.
