Child Nationality

[Benic Mah]

Can my unborn baby gain USA/UK nationality just because he was born in either countires?

If you are in a foreign country it is best to contact your local embassy and ask them. Try searching for their contact details online. That way you are assured of an accurate answer.
Hopefully.

I don't know about the U. K., but in the U.S.A. your baby will be an American citizen if he/she was born there in most cases.
I have read stories about Phillipine Airline stewardesses being assigned to a U. S. flight right around the time she was expecting. They end up with free medical care and the baby ends up a U. S. citizen. I also know of illegal Thai persons having children in the U. S. Automatic U. S. citizen. Hope this helps.

If your child is born outside of Thailand it will not get a Thai passport. Check on the rules for your home country about getting a passport if born outside of the country.

In the US a child born in the US can have US citizenship. However, the parents do not. Creates a problem sometimes especially if the parents think this is their ticket in. I was once at the US Embassy and a Thai woman and boy were going for a VISA to the US. The boy was born there and had US Citizenship. I was next in line so I heard the official say, "Yes he can go to the US with no problem, but you have to get a VISA." "But who will look after him when he goes to school?" The answer was, "He is a citizens and can go; there is no guarantee for you beyond a visitor's VISA." The Thai woman was astonished and protested because she was his mother. Didn't do her any good to protest. So, yes on the citizenship for the baby, but if your motives are more than that, forget it.

Being born in Britain does not automatically give you citizenship, you must also have at least one parent a citizen also.
