If for whatever reason your Thai girlfriend cannot get to the UK and your baby is born in Thailand, don’t panic. The baby first would be registered in Thailand, then your baby can be registered with the British embassy in Bangkok, putting you as the father. This would give your baby dual nationality, making your child both Thai and British.

Your Baby would be able to hold two passports, Thai and English. Later in life your child would be able to use either passport when travelling.
Many people try to get their pregnant Thai girlfriend to the UK for the Birth of the baby, sometimes this is difficult if you have not been in a relationship long, as the British embassy will not issue visas on the strength of pregnancy alone.
