What are the steps and considerations for getting married in Thailand as an expat?

Happily married 25 years

Here for the comments 🫣

Protect yourself and Protect your assets, only invest as much in Thailand that you are willing to lose.

Never reveal the value of your wealth.

Cash up ... give her everything on day one. It will work out just fine.

You marry her and you also marry the family along with those financial responsibilities..

Proceed with EXTREME caution..

You should make it a VERY long engagement before you decide

Don't do it before you screw it

First thing I got to say is you're asking the wrong people if you're asking people on this form because a lot of assholes on here

What is your question?

If she's the one,you will know in a decades time. Then you could get engaged.. Take your time 🙈

If you live together for five years, she has the same rights as a married woman. But check it out first.

Way too many unknowns. Do you live in Thailand? Do you plan to live in Thailand or bring her to your Country? How old are You? How old is she? How long have You known each other? Do you plan to get married in Thailand or another Country? Sounds like You've a lot more things to sort out than just how Thai marriage works. Dated and lived with My Thai wife 7 years before deciding to get married. Highly recommend You do the same, at least a year or two.

This first thing you must get is a notarized right-to-marry document from your embassy. On it there are three options, single never married, divorced, or widowed. For the last two you will need relevant documents, divorce decree, or death certificate. Keep in mind they trust you to list the correct reason, but they don't verify. You get this translated into Thai, and certified as being accurate by the ministry of foreign affairs. Everything else is simply copies of your passport, and copies of her Thai ID card, and a copy of the house book she is listed in. You take all these to your local amphur/ district office, with a witness, and they marry you there, then give you your marriage certificate, and document showing the marriage has been registered. That is all there is to it. Any ceremony with family and maybe monks, is not the actual legal marriage. Have a good life together.

These posts will never get old 🤣

As the signs say, “Proceed With Caution”

Continue waiting Thai woman

First, I need to ask you: how long have you known her? What is your purpose for marrying her? Is it to get a visa to stay in Thailand? Or do you want to marry her because you truly love her? You need to ask yourself that question first!

Easy solution dude ask one of her other husbands the process

How much time have u spent together in person and what is her occupation?

Don’t rush into it. Ask yourself why she is waiting. If you have been dating for over a year then fair enough.

Here is an example of too soon. I know a Thai girl and she met a guy online about 2 months ago. Guy is from Europe, 40 and never been married. They met for 5 days while he was on holiday. Now he pays her ฿50k a month and wants to buy a house for her and has asked her to marry him.

This is true story. Only get married if you are really sure. Only get married if you can live together. Long distance marriage is very hard and more likely to fail.

If you need visa to stay in Thailand the retirement path is much easier than the marriage path. Marriage is less financial commitment but more hassle and your life here is totally dependant on the quality of your decision to get married 😜

Just Google how to get married in Thailand. It will give you a good understanding.

Don't forget She might be a He especially if you are a newbie

Absolutely no benefit for a man to get married in today's society unless you stick to the % rule, the % rule is ONLY put the money % of your wealth/income your willing to loose or not get upset with when it fails, people get bored these days, social media and temptation... hope you make the right choice

Another one bites the dust.......

Oh boy ....

DON,T
