I’m applying for a DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Jakarta. Once that’s approved, my husband and child will apply as my dependents.
I already have our Brazilian marriage certificate and my child’s Brazilian birth certificate. Since Thailand is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, I was told these documents would normally need extra legalization. This would cost me around 800 USD.
Before I spend that, I’d really like to know: for dependents, have embassies actually required fully legalized documents, or have standard certificates + translations been accepted in practice?
Any experiences in Jakarta (or elsewhere) would be super helpful. Thanks a lot! 🙏
My wife and I (married 11 years with valid marriage certificate) will be applying for DTV hopefully in the next few months. She will apply first under work-cation category.
We were advised that we should get a letter confirming we are still married from the registrar and have it notarized.
Wondering if any other couples needed this. Should our certificate (which is in English) not be enough?
Hello friend, I need some information. I use work permit visa and I have called my wife on tourist visa and now I want to get a non dependent visa. What documents will be required?
Report on my trip to CW yesterday to apply for my second stay extension based on marriage to a Thai citizen.
Two weeks prior my wife went to Huay Kwang District office to obtain an updated copy of our marriage certificate ( KR2). Easy to do. She just had to show her ID card and a copy of our original certificate. And pay 20 baht per copy of course.
Went to Bangkok Bank in the morning before going to CW for my 2pm appointment. No problem to obtain the bank letter or statement. Didn’t have to fill out any forms committing to keep funds in my account for any period of time. I had kept a balance over 400k for more than 4 months prior anyway but it wasn’t mentioned.
Went to CW for 2pm appointment and was finished and out of the door by 3pm. Went like clockwork. All discussions were between my wife and the IO in Thai and the IO only comment to me was to recommend that I get a new passport before applying next year as my passport expires next September. Back in 21 days to get the extension inked in. Note that IO did not ask for the updated KR2. At the end of the process she took a photo of my wife and I jointly holding up a sign in Thai that my wife said it stated in Thai that we are married so that may have been the necessary confirmation that we are still married. IO stated that my wife could come alone on 15 August to get my extension inked in ( having observed that my mobility isn’t good) but confirmed that I would have to attend in person if I wanted to apply for a RE permit. She suggested that I apply for the RE permit at the airport when I leave which sounds like a plan to me.
In conclusion meticulous preparation paid off and I am attaching my homemade check list in case it helps others. Note for the family photos I provided 6 photos printed 2 per page directly onto glossy photo paper with captions below and she was quite happy with them.
Hi all! Currently planning to apply for my DTV visa and my wife’s “following” visa. I will need to submit my marriage certificate (I was married in the US and I have the document here in Thailand with me). My problem is, I have been told that I need to get the marriage certificate notarized and stamped by my embassy before I submit it, and I just found out that U.S. embassies in Thailand quit doing this service with U.S. and state documents as of March. We will be staying in Vietnam to apply but we are worried that the US consulate in that country also won’t notarize our marriage certificate. I am a bit lost on what to do! Has anyone gone through this process thst might have a suggestion?
