What is a reasonable rate for hiring a lawyer for marriage paperwork in Thailand?

These do it much cheaper

The license is only approx 80thb

I did it all myself less than 5000 thb

Express translation at Pathumwan. They did mine for baht all paperwork included.

If one partner is a Thai then the rates are baht, if both the marrying parties are foreigners then their fees was . I personally saw that they registered marriage for a Chinese guy and American woman couple while we were there for our own business.

We also had contacted several legal agencies that quoted exorbitant prices which was unbelievable for us so we decided to explore our options a bit before finalizing and in that process we came across express translation

What exactly is included in that fee?

As for the marriage; it’s quite straight forward to prepare the documents yourself. First, just get in touch with the Amphur where you would like to marry and ask them what documents they will require - from you and your wife.

You will need a document that shows that you are single / divorced (have the freedom to marry) and it needs to be notarised by your embassy. Read here:

Then you probably need to have it translated into Thai and legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Many officed offer that service. I paid 900 Baht per translated page. A stamp from the MFA costs 400 Baht if I remember correctly.

As for the pre-nup: This is the part that I would hire the lawyer for. I think at my wife‘s law firm it starts at 15,000 THB.

Then once you’re married, I‘m sure, as mentioned before, you can update your civil status at the different agencies. Maybe the embassy will also be helpful.

As for the marriage visa/extension of stay; you will have to prepare quite a few documents. But if you get the handout from the immigration office, you can get there step by step. After marriage you can get a 60 days extension fairly easily with more or less just the passport and marriage certificate. In that time period you can prepare documents, funds etc.

Fire that lawyer. That is unless there are underlying circumstances and/or inclusion of a prenup.

give them a try

We paid around 3000€ in belgium

Im confused as tho what is included in the 70-100k+ price? I payed 1.2k for affidavit, 2.5k for translation+certification with agent (maybe even less), and $0 for marriage certificate at local district office. So overall 3.7k + round trip to Bangkok, 1 night hotel, and I am now legally married.

What paperwork are you talking about? If you are talking about you, a foreigner, marrying a Thai lady, the cost is virtually nothing. I married my Thai wife ten years ago, we did all the paperwork ourselves, no legal agencies were involved at all and from memory the overall cost was a few hundred baht.

I think documentation is not much difficult for merrage visa but 4 lacs baht should be in your account,if you don't have 4 lacs baht in account then may be lawyer will handle this kind of case and charge 45k ,

We got quoted 35k-45k for marriage visa. We did it by ourselves. Not too complicated

Thai pass do u include children on it or do they have there own ? Thank u 🙏

Under Thai law or your country law?

My how times have changed. Wife and I did ours in 1970 didn’t have to pay hardly anything. Most expense was trip to Bangkok to Embassy and Hotel.

If this does not include a pre-nup then you didn't need them, but if a lengthy pre-nup was included it is reasonable. With a normal marriage, and no pre-nup there is no lawyer needed to your IRS/Social Security change. It is a simple form you get online from SSA website.

I never paid anyone to do it. I don’t remember there being much paperwork, my wife done it all.

I want to say I paid close to that in 2010 to get my marriage finalized and CR-1 visa to the states and did a pre-nup on top of it, all in all close to 120 to 140,000 THB if I recall. Well worth every penny on the Pre-Nup

Hi

What paperwork are you requiring?

90k seems crazy unless there are circumstances outside of normal.

We just submitted all ours, but it's a chore I'm not going to lie, all in all is was over 100 pages that we handed in, we did it ourselves though as my Mrs worked for a visa company for last 7 years so knows a bit about it but it's all fairly straight forward stuff it just takes a bit of time to do it and get it all together I don't think you need to pay anyone

That price is insane to basically do an application for a non O or anything for that matter

If it's just actually to get married you just go your embassy get and affidavit to marry, get it translated, then go to local ampur and do it takes 15 mins
