What are the steps to legally marry a Thai national in Thailand before having another wedding in the UK?

@Kool ******

@Michael *******

its not difficult to do it yourself but you need to get confirmation from your embassy your not already married take it foreign affairs just outside bangkok then take documents to tessa ban office 2 witness's 10 baht fee and your married if all paperwork is in order i did it myself wasent hard but an agent will save you a lot of running around

@Michael *******

I was the same took ages to get an appointment at embassy

@Peter ********

for us people must make appointment with your embassy, they will notarize your affidavit then must have translated and passport to register the marriage. You can do a civil or Thai wedding, but doesn’t count until registered. They will also need some evidence of your relationship and will interview you. That’s why you must have it translated. My fees were 50$ for embassy and 50$for translated Takes about three day turnaround for embassy. My translated will handle and mail to my fiancées address. Since our home is six hours northeast of Bangkok Good luck, really not that hard. The stamp or seal must be done at your embassy in Thailand. For The US you can’t get into embassy without a printout of appointment. No walking ins permitted. I don’t know about your embassy, but pay close attention. Forms can be had at embassy or downloaded. Check and see you may discover there are certified translation services near your embassy.
