I am in the United States now I want to go back to Bankok and get married and apply for a marriage visa. Can anyone tell me is it somewhat easy to do the paperwork without an agent? I am divorced and so is my future wife. Any help would be greatly appreciated

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user seeks advice on the ease of applying for a marriage visa in Thailand without an agent. They mention they are currently in the U.S. and plan to return to Bangkok to marry, noting both they and their future spouse are divorced. Comments highlight the importance of having original divorce certificates, the need for various documents like a 'No impediment to marriage' certificate, and suggest considering the help of an agent for a smoother process due to official translation requirements and paperwork complexities.
You need your "No impediment to marriage" or whatever it is called where you are cerificate. No divorce papers.
An agency can do that in 2 days (all the translations, officially stamped) they can even bring 2 witneseses when you marry.
My official Thai marriage was at the Sathorn City Council, Bangkok.

Its easier and faster just to use an agent...especially getting the paper work completed, getting thru Bangkok Noi and getting official translation on all your documents.

I did a K1 visa back in 2017. It’s not hard to do by yourself. I found these visa guides invaluable.

When I got married in Thailand all my translations had to be by a “ certified Translator” , stamped with official Thai certifications.
And if you are doing a prenuptial agreement, it has to be filed with the new marriage papers, simultaneously. Not the next day or later or it’s not valid.
, if you divorce and it’s not mutual split or a friendly separation, and winds up in court, if you paid for a house etc and have receipts to prove you brought the money in, Thai courts are suppose to rule in favor of the provider. Divorce is always nasty in USA also, can be brutal in Thailand too if you aren’t prepared or don’t have a prenuptial, to protect your assets. They are very common in USA
Frist thing is you have to go to the usa embassy in Bangkok to get an interview for the embassy to confirm that you are not married to anyone else then you can go to get married to your thai lady, you don't need any agent to help you so save your money and time. It will help you bring your divorce papers to the embassy, also you will need the documents from English to thai you will be able to find a translation officer near the embassy
CNI Document completed...👍 Take that, divorce papers and copy of passport, they review and approve with legal stamps etc, can take a day or 2 to be ready for collection. Translate all these from English to Thai can take up to a week and around 2000thb per page...👍
