Can I marry my Thai girlfriend on a 30-day visa exemption in Thailand?

The legalization takes 2 or 3 days and when you go back they will always tell you there was some error in the translation you have to redo. So that will take you another day to fix. They told me I have to redo the translation over some punctuation mark and some random word. Your translator should do the revisions for free but you would have to pay the delivery to send you the new papers. I paid 800 for the translations and like 600 for the legalization stamps. The actual marriage registration was free but I paid them like 150 for plastic folders to put the papers in. Make sure if you need an appointment or not at the government office where you plan to register the marriage. In bangkok the one near me had a 3 month waiting list but out in the village where we went we just called a few days in advance and it was fine. An agent might charge you 20-30,000 for this. As long as you know to plan in advance you can do it yourself for way cheaper.
