Anyone knows if it's possible to marry a thai girl under DTV visa?
Answer summary
Yes, it's possible to marry a Thai girl while on a DTV visa. Various comments affirm that the type of visa does not affect your ability to marry, as visas pertain to immigration status rather than personal relationships. However, being married under a visa does not grant any special immigration status.

Golden rule a for happy thai-western relationship. Spend 5 years together. 2 in thailand, 2 in West. The fifth year, you will spend without any money, or pretend to be very poor. If she still stans by your side, its a keep.

I don’t think you need a visa to marry a Thai person. You have to uphold to the current visa you have and apply for a marriage visa if you want to stay.

Anonymous participant it’s not a legal marriage without the firm signing at a government office later…… I know a few guys who just have the party.

Everyone thinks you are then.

And we all know marriage is like Russian Roulette, just with more bullets? 555

Bro.. don’t get married to a Thai woman.. use your brain 🧠 and look at all the red flags.. you are ignoring!! There will be many red flags and you choose to ignore. Be wise and listen.. if you own assets.. you stupidly enough to get married.. say bye to almost everything. I have heard so so so many stories of the consequences. You get married doesn’t give you a free pass to stay in Thailand!! Just gives the women a pass you take everything you own.. including your soul!! Think wise bro.. don’t be a statistic

You don’t need a special visa for marriage. You only need your translated Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage.

Yes, you can generally register a marriage with a Thai national while staying in Thailand on a DTV visa, provided you both meet the legal requirements for marriage.

You will usually need your passport and proof that you are legally free to marry, with the required Thai translations and legalisation. The exact documents depend on your nationality and the district office where you register.

May I ask your nationality and where you plan to register your marriage? Feel free to message me—I’d be happy to help you check the documents and guide you through the process. 😊

Hey this is really fascinating! I'm glad to be wrong when it leads to learning something. I did some searching and it appears the UK may be the only one like this though, but yes if 1 exists I'm wrong. Anyway I expected it to be some crazy country like Turkmenistan and not a "free"/"modern" country like the UK! If you thought there were many: you might be thinking about a legal right to stay after rather than just actually legally marrying? That's a longer list, but it wasn't Op's question :)
