What are the costs and requirements for marriage and visa conversion in Thailand?
How much does a marriage and visa cost? How long does it take?
I found a girl I love very much and want to spend the rest of my life with her, forever.
Currently, I am on the Covid visa, can I convert that to a marriage visa? What is require for marriage visa? Letter from Embassy? pound of flesh? What does it take to get married?
Anybody with recent experience?

Answer summary
The costs and requirements for getting married and obtaining a marriage visa in Thailand can vary widely. Basic marriage registration at the amphur can cost as little as 80 THB, but additional costs related to documentation and compliance with embassy requirements can add up significantly. A notarized 'right to marry' document is typically needed, which requires some time due to possible delays from the embassy and translation processes. To convert a Covid visa to a marriage visa, applicants may need to demonstrate financial stability, such as having 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account or showing a history of monthly income of at least 40,000 THB for the past year. There are often many forms and signatures required, and it is advised to research and prepare all necessary materials ahead of time.

Don't listen to any of the naysayers and trolls on here. To get married legally is easy. Just go to the amphur with your gf/wife and 2 witnesses. You can sign all the documents at the amphur in Thai, and it only costs 80 thb. I was previously married to a Thai divorced and remarried a few months later (we had been separated for 8 yes).

The whole thing cost me about 1000 thb. The declaration of being single was in Thai so I just had to sign it there.

Once you get married, and that takes at least one document that can take time to get because of covid, and making the appointment with your embassy, is you need at least bt400,000 in your personal Thai bank account for at least two months before you apply, plus a bunch of other documents that are not hard to get, but the banked money is required, unless you have been making at least bt40,000 a month from your job, for the last 12 months in Thailand, or transfering that much each month from overseas to your Thai bank account.

I have been transferring 40,000+ a month for the past couple of years. The "and that takes at least one document that can take time to get because of covid," Which document are you referring to?Kool *******
@Terary *********
the notarized "right to marry" document you get notarized at your embassy. This document designates if you have been divorced before, or single, and are not currently married, and thus can legally get married. It then has to be translated into Thai, and officially stamped by the ministry of foreign affairs that it is an accurate translation. With most embassies now it can take time to get an appointment. People have run into problems at the amphur before when they have been asked to present the official divorce papers if that was checked, so keep that in mind, as no one checks when you sign the notarized letter at the embassy. The money transfer has to show that it came from an overseas source directly into your Thai bank account, or that you got it as wages in Thailand, and filed Thai taxes. It can not be ATM withdrawals then deposited in your account. If you use a service like Wise, formerly TransferWise, it has to show coming from overseas, and every month has to be bt40,000+, or it doesn't count, and starts over after the month that was short. They no longer average it out yearly.

I've heard people say that you can't switch from one type of Non-O visa to another inside the country, but I'm not completely sure about that.
