Help please. I am married to a Thai National. We are both currently in the USA. I researched how to get a Thai marriage visa some parts I get but most say neccessary documents, my question is what are the neccessary documents that are required to bring to immigration office?

Thx

Hello, sawat di ka 🙏

The situation:

I am British and my husband is Thai. We are going to Thailand to get his Thai ID card (he came to the U.K. as a child so needs to go to Thailand for his first Thai ID card). We hope to stay in Thailand for a while.

We are thinking of entering Thailand either with 30 days on arrival or a tourist visa. Once he has his ID card, and if we choose to stay, I will apply for a marriage visa in Thailand.

My questions:

Am I right in thinking that I will need to take our British marriage certificate, legalised/certified by the FCO in Milton Keynes and the Thai embassy in London? Then stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok?

Am I right in thinking that as a foreign wife, I will not need to prove my income (I make 40,000 baht per month anyway though if needed).

Can this be done at his local Amphur office in Thailand?

Anything else we will need?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. I have an American friend and his legal spouse from Japan have been living here more than 10 years on retirement visa and follower visa. They have been submitting the original US marriage certificate to the immigration ever since for his spouse to qualify for a follower visa. All of sudden this year , the immigration doesn't accept foriegn document. They request the US embassy authenticated the marriage license for them. Unluckily the embassy says they have no power to authenticate any vital records at all.

In shorts, immigration needs embassy legalization on a paper work, but the embassy refuses to do so. Have you all got any experiences or ideas to suggest us to work this out? Thanks indeed.

Good afternoon

Can I verify that the advise I found on this group for marriage certificates is still valid ** as we are both uk nationals with a marriage certificate that we need authorising for our next year extension .

Thailand is not a signatory to the apostille treaty so the apostille is not recognized as certification/authentication in Thailand.

Go to the embassy and get them to either "authenticate it" or swear an affidavit of authenticity in front of the consular officer.

You then go to the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Government Complex (Chengwattana) and get their stamp on it.

Now you are authenticated and good for use in Thailand.

Many thanks

Thanks in advance for your help

Asking for a friend who is a Thai national (female) married to an American citizen and living in the USA but does not have a registered Thai marriage. She still has her Thai I.D in her maiden name.

If they wanted to move here permanently, can he apply for a non imm O visa based on marriage at a Thai consulate in America or do they have to visit Thailand and get a registered marriage here first.
