What documents do I need to obtain a Thai marriage visa from Nepal if I'm not officially married yet?

Question

Advice needed. I've been reading through posts but can't seem to find the exact info I need. So here is my situation.

I have recently married. But have not got a marriage certificate yet. But I do have a Thai bank account in my name I but 400,000 baht into 3 or 4 months ago. 
Due to my work I cannot show money coming into my account monthly. Is this a problem?

Also in a few days me and my wife will go to Nepal. I have messaged the embassy in Kathmandu about requirements, etc. But not heard back yet.

I guess my main question is does anyone have any advice about what paperwork to take to the Kathmandu Thai embassy to obtain a marriage visa there?

Thanks in advance :D

The user is seeking advice on obtaining a Thai marriage visa while not yet having an official marriage certificate. They have a Thai bank account with the required funds but cannot provide monthly income. Comments suggest that a marriage certificate is necessary for a Non-O visa based on marriage, and it is recommended to consider alternative visa options, such as a tourist visa, until the marriage is official.

and I think that until the O/P actually DOES get married officially  and has the paperwork to prove they're married that this topic has run it's course.

Sorry to close it so quickly BUT there is nothing to be gained by listing the requirements at the various consulates for a non-O based on marriage until the O/P actually gets married. :O

Yes mate - need marriage certificate then usually things like wife’s tambian baan, copy of her ID card, your passport and all stamps in and out of Thailand. From my old experience your options are : multi entry non o (I think) - basically means you are good for a year but have to leave every three months BUT no money in bank needed - or entering on a single 3 month marriage visa which you can then extend in Thailand on the basis of showing the 400k. For both you need marriage certificate unfortunately... so you would need to re-enter on a different visa then marriage if you can’t sort the certificate before you go to Nepal. Bit of a headache of paperwork but it can be done !

[mention redacted] There are far easier consulates to get a Non-O based on marriage than the thai consulate in Nepal.

How about just going on the holiday there and when you get back here, actually GET married..

Then go to Savannakhet or HCMC and get the Non-O visa based on marriage because neither of those places requires proof of funds

Cert is a requirement at every embassy plus more at some others.

You will NOT get a Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai until you're actually officially married to the thai..

Hey Tom, I think the certificate is a requirement.

Until you actually GO to the Amphur in thailand and get the two papers they give you when you register a marriage here you're not officially married

When you do get married here you get these. THEN you're actually married

Tod ********* · Answer

then you are NOT married
