What documents do I need to marry in Thailand besides my own?

@Stelar ******

no it's because her ID isn't part of the process until the local level. There were 5 guys getting the same papers as me at the embassy. It's two documents about me. MFA asks for those two documents translated to Thai. There is no "and signed copies of her ID" at that step. If I wanted to stay in a hotel for a week and play the daily lottery of if the MFA would let us in or not I'd have her with me and we could do it on the fly. If MFA asked for it as a regular thing the agent would've collected a copy when doing the translation. But this was a case of one person talking out their ass and other people not willing to call the person on it and it snowballing into an issue it didn't need to be.

@Stelar ******

my embassy did not want it. My embassy gave me notarised copy of passport and Affidavits free to marry. Then MFA must counter stamp. Then local Amphoe will need Lady paper. But somebody incompetent wanted Lady paper at MFA

@Michael *******

because I went to Bangkok and had an appointment and they didn't ask for it then I went home. Now they want another day of running around and then waiting on post and there are potential timeline issues. It turns out that the lawyer told the agent that they will start requiring it at some point and the agent told automaton staff that can't think of reason independently to just get it from me.

When I can easily just do a thing I am pretty good about remembering this is Thailand. When it has potentially thousands of baht as well as other real world consequences I've got less Buddha in me.

@Phil *****

what is CNI? I know we would need it for the local, but for the MFA?

just because the words are English doesn't mean the sentence is English.
