Welcome to Lloyd and Mandy! In today’s vlog, we’re sharing a very personal and unique challenge we’re facing as expat parents in Thailand. Our daughter was born here in Thailand, but as I’m from Australia and Mandy is from Canada, we’ve had to navigate a maze of paperwork to secure her citizenship and legal identity. From filing documents with both our home countries to taking baby photos for official identification, we’re tackling all the steps required to give our daughter a legal identity. It hasn’t been easy, and there are some unexpected complications we’re working through. If you’re an expat planning to have children abroad, or just curious about what this process looks like, this video will give you an honest look at the legal and emotional journey we’re on.
