What documents do I need to apply for a DTV visa as a spouse in Thailand, and is a translation of my marriage certificate sufficient?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Can you help me quickly? My wife is applying for a DTV visa in Laos or Malaysia, and once she gets it, I'd like to apply for a DTV visa as her spouse. What other documents do I need for my application? We only have our marriage certificate in German 😬 Do we need to have it certified in English? Or is a translation sufficient? It's all a bit chaotic right now. I hope you can help.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the documentation needed to apply for a DTV visa in Thailand as the spouse of an applicant, specifically asking about the necessity of translating their German marriage certificate into English. Comments suggest checking Thai Embassy requirements in the relevant countries for documentation language and mention the option of applying for visas simultaneously.

did you visit the websites of the Thai Embassies in those countries to read in what language they accept documentation?

IF you both go to the same country, you can apply both at the same time.

We don't want to be sour but we don't work here so you either use the function lens and check for that issue which has been discussed several times and got answered properly or you hire an agent who can spend his time and knowledge to do that. Peace ✌️
