My wife. We got an agent to preserve our sanity then registered it at the Philippine embassy. The worst part was getting the documents the Philippines requires before issuing the certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage.

The agent can probably get a sooner amphur appointment, but give it a try. The documents, translations and 'legalization' of documents will be tricky. I didn't feel that I could do it with my very limited Thai language skill. You can always get an agent if you get stuck.

you need agency with recognised translator by your embassy. We did all ourselves, got all the paperwork, but from there, the agency took over, to legalize the documents and for appointment in townhall

sa sagot po sa tanong niyo tungkol sa how long niyo need magstay sa Thailand to process po lahat.

-Depende po sa inyo kung maghahire kayo ng agency or hindi. Kami po naghire na ng agency para after namin makuha ung letter (CLCCM) makapakasal kami agad. Ung requirements po kasi ay Depende kung saang Thailand district kayo pumunta. Pumunta ako sa BangRak District (friendly daw sa mga foreigners ung district na to) at sabi need pa namin maghintay ng 45-60 days bago magpakasal dahil both foreigners kami. To save the time and hassles po, naghire nalang kami ng agency. After po makuha ng agency ung papers samin, halos 1week to 10 days po nakapakasal na kami.

you need your documents, birth certificate, Cenomar apostled in the Philippines by DFA. Waiting vtime there was 3 months. Then go to Philippine Embassy, waiting time, for appointment, one month. Then papers issued, 2 weeks. Then you need the documents from both embassies translated and approved, the make appointment at townhall. You need a visa of some kind, as you stay here. I had retirement, my wife ed visa.

If you stay here only to get married, you make it yourself difficult. We live here, so if it is longer, not matter that much. If you marry and bye bye Thailand, know that the Thai marriage certificate has to be translated again to the embassy if your husband and eventually yours. Otherwise you be only be legally married for Thai administration. I not understand the use of getting married here, if not staying here. I got my marriage legalised by Belgian embassy, but not Philippine Embassy as more complicated again an not much use.

@Jing ********
to get married you can do it in a few days, but you may need to give an brown envelope to the amphur.

Took us about 6 days to get all of our documents, translated, certified etc and then the process with the amphur takes 1 day.

yeah that's the sort of time frame we've been told by the agency my Thai partner and I (Australian) are using.

We gave them the documents from the embassy today and they reckon Jan 4th they can get it sorted at the Amphur.
