What are the steps and considerations for applying for the affirmation of freedom to marry from the British embassy in Thailand?

The agent can handle the paperwork, collect from you when the affirmation "ceremony" (aka hanging around a waiting room). I was using a Bangkok amphur, so hung around Bangkok. I think this is actually a good example of an agent being useful, as it's then down to them if there are screw ups in the translation etc. But the agent then charged me extra for a certified translated copy of the marriage certificate, which you don't need in the UK. A bit cheeky, nut what the hey.

or you can pay to have the documents posted to you

I can recommend a very good agent who we used. No need to stay in Bangkok.

You will only be required to turn up at the Embassy and then turn up at the District Office to be married.

you need an appointment at MFA also.

I would recommend using an agent for this service (I never use agents normally).

Without an agent unless you are very organised, you will end up back and forth to Bkk.

Someone is recommending one in the thread, it might be worth seeing how much they charge.

We were offered this service when getting our documents translated at the MFA and I refused, I wish I had accepted their offer as it was not a lot of money and would have saved us a lot of time, travel and hassle.

At the district office in Bkk you will also need an interpreter and witness. The agent also organises this.

Whatever you decide, I wish you and your wife lots of happiness.

It’s a 30 minute appointment on a Tuesday or Thursday.You will submit your documents online then sign and receive at the end of your appointment.
