Do I need to get my UK marriage certificate stamped if I have a Kor Ror 22 for my visa application in Thailand?

Sorry if this is a daft question - I have already looked through the topics, but that's confused matters even further.

We're moving to Thailand in August - we got married over 12 years ago in the UK. I'll be applying for a 90 day non-O, and we're trying to sort out what we need to do before we go.

I'm reading on here that we need to get our UK marriage certificate stamped at Milton Keynes and send it to the Thai Embassy in London so we can get the Kor Ror 22..... we've never done this, but we already have a KK22 all signed and stamped in Bangkok from when we got married 12 years ago.

If we already have a stamped and signed KR22 (this is held on the Thai systems as they printed another copy for us in February) do we still need our UK marriage certificate stamped at Milton Keynes? Or is the KR22 sufficient for anything we're going to need there?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is moving to Thailand and plans to apply for a 90-day NON-O visa. They are unsure whether they need to get their UK marriage certificate stamped at Milton Keynes since they already possess a signed and stamped Kor Ror 22 from their previous marriage registration in Thailand. They question the necessity of additional documentation given their existing paperwork.

I don’t have a Canadian marriage certificate. I’ve always used our Thai marriage certificate for my visa application for the last 6 years and never had an issue.

thanks - we don't have a Thai marriage certificate. From what I understand, the KR22 should be proof that our marriage is registered in Thailand - just not sure if I would still need to have our UK certificate stamped as well before we go - or would the KR22 be sufficient for everything we'd need over there.

Sorry 😐. I don’t know. But it is Thailand and better to have a possible needed document, than not when you arrive at immigration. They always ask for my marriage certificate in Thai when I go to immigration, so you may want to get it translated as well. I always go to immigration a week before I need to get an extension or other document because invariably what I needed the time before is not the same this time. You just need to 😊 smile and be patient.
