Home » Reader question » To Thailand with two Dutch and Thai passports, how does that work?
Dear readers,
I want to go to Thailand for 40 days. My wife is Thai and has two passports. Our daughter was born in the Netherlands but also has Thai passport. I assume she also has Thai nationality?
So I need a visa, but my wife and child don't I assume? So the question is what about the passports at the airports? Also on the intermediate stop. Which passport should they show?
On departure at Schiphol, the Thai and in Bangkok of course? But then on the way back. Do they show their Dutch passport at Suvarnabhumi?
At least a Dutch passport on arrival at Schiphol, otherwise they have to show an entry visa, right?
And what about the stamps?
If the Dutch passport is shown and stamped on departure and the Thai passport, which does not contain a departure stamp, on arrival in Bangkok? Or does not that matter?
M curious,
Wimpie
For Dutch immigration the Dutch passport, for Thai immigration the Thai. When checking in in the Netherlands, in principle, the Dutch, but they may ask for proof that they are allowed to enter Thailand, and then also show the Thai, when checking in Thailand the other way around.
My wife and daughter check in at Schiphol with their (my wife's English and my daughter's Dutch passports) and in Thailand they go through immigration with their Thai passports. And on the way back the other way around 555
Easiest to remember is:
1- Always show the same passport at the same border when entering and exiting.
2- Which passport then? Use the most favorable passport at a certain border.
For the Netherlands-Thailand this means:
1 Use the Dutch passport when departing from NL.
2 Use the Thai pass on arrival in Thailand
3 Use Thai passport when leaving TH
4 Use the Dutch passport again on arrival in the Netherlands.
* At one stopover you normally remain in transit, so you do not see an immigration gate. If you do see a border guard, use the most favorable passport. 9 out of 10 times that is the Dutch passport.
* Show 1 passport as much as possible so as not to confuse anyone. If a member of staff or an official still wants to see whether you will be admitted to your destination, show the other pass. However, both always fit within reach.
* The Netherlands allows multiple nationality. In Thailand it is not banned but not officially recognized. Some officials don't know that and so get a bit nervous or can act difficult when they see a second passport...
Dear Robert V,
You've lined it up well, but! Do not forget that the father must apply for a visa.
Yours faithfully,
Erwin
Hi wimpy,
It's actually quite simple:
– In the Netherlands you show the Dutch passport.
– In Bankgkok you show the Thai passport
Your wife and child do not need a visa for Thailand.
If you stay less than 30 days, you do not need a visa, you just have to fill in the form and hand it in at immigration.
During a stopover, they only check the name on the passport with the boarding pass, no matter which pass you show.
Regards,
Barry
Barry in the first few words says I want to go to Thailand for 40 days so Wimpie does need a visa. It would be nice if everyone read the question before you give that expert answer.
40 days to Thailand does not require a visa. 30 days visa + extension 30 days at immigration in Thailand (so 60 days in total)
Thai passport upon check-in at Schiphol (for visa check), Thai passport upon entry to Bangkok. Also when leaving, but when checking in to NL the Dutch passport. If you book travel based on your Dutch passport.
Good afternoon,
Out and in the Netherlands with a Dutch passport and in and out of Thailand with a Thai passport.
No problem
My girlfriend and daughter use their Thai passport
only when entering and leaving Thailand.
Dutch passport for the rest.
Thai passport in Thailand .. Dutch in the Netherlands .. That's how we always did it
