My fiancee is a Thai citizen and I am an American citizen. We want to get married in April next year. Can anyone give us advice on what is the best place in Bangkok to hire for getting a marriage license and an estimate of the cost would be appreciated? Thank you

Hello Everyone,

I am currently here on a tourist visa and I would like to change my visa to non o and then get a marriage visa. I have already registered marriage with my wife in thailand with the local office and i have the KorRor22 with me. May I know what are the required documents to apply for Non- O visa in Thailand? How many days left do i need left in my passport before I can do the conversion to Non O.

These are the list of documents that I know i need

400k baht in bank (Bank statement)

Thai Wife ID and copy of it

BlueBook and copy of it

Copy of my passport and real passport

marriage certificate and copy of it

Am I lacking anything else? Thank you!

Hello,

I have 3 questions concerning marriage. My Thai girlfriend and I decided to get married.

1/ The French Embassy asks of course for a full copy of my birth certificate. To ask my birth town hall, so in France. Or I'm currently living in Thailand with my roommate. So can't go get her By the way, I don't think municipalities are sending documents abroad, which would cost a lot in postage fees...

By the way, the embassy doesn't want photocopies...

What to do?

2/ The embassy also demands proof of my divorce. Unfortunately, after a process of several years, my divorce by mutual consent was only filed before a notary on February 12, 2024 So no mention of my birth certificate. However, I have the PDF of the divorce agreement with the signatures of the notary, 2 attorneys and my ex-wife. But, again, it is a PDF, so digital. Is it acceptable?

3/ If I can't get married during this stay, it's rather boring but we'll have to adjust well...

My final question for my next trip in a few months would be: between the time we submit the complete application at the embassy in Bangkok and the time we are officially married at the town hall of our home in Thailand, how many weeks do we need to count? Figured out the 10 days after the bans have been published the longest. In all, ... ???

Thank you in advance for coming back.

Bonjour,

J'ai 3 questions concernant le mariage. Ma compagne thaï et moi avons décidé de nous marier.

1/ L'ambassade de France me demande bien sûr une copie intégrale de mon acte de naissance. À demander à ma mairie de naissance, donc en France. Or j'habite actuellement en Thaïlande chez ma compagne. Je ne peux donc pas aller la chercher. Par ailleurs, je ne crois pas que les mairies envoient des documents à l'étranger, ce qui coûterait cher en frais d'affranchissement...

Par ailleurs, l'ambassade ne veut pas de photocopies...

Que faire ?

2/ L'ambassade demande également une preuve de mon divorce. Malheureusement, après une procédure de plusieurs années, mon divorce par consentement mutuel a été acté devant notaire seulement le 12 février 2024. Donc, pas de mention sur mon acte de naissance. Par contre, je possède le PDF de la convention de divorce avec les signatures du notaire, des 2 avocates et de mon ex-femme. Mais, là encore, il s'agit d'un PDF, donc numérique. Recevable ?

3/ Si je ne peux pas me marier pendant ce séjour, c'est plutôt ennuyeux mais il faudra bien nous adapter...

Ma dernière question serait la suivante pour mon prochain séjour dans quelques mois : entre le moment où on dépose le dossier complet à l'ambassade à Bangkok et le moment où l'on est officiellement marié à la mairie de notre domicile en Thaïlande, il faut compter combien de semaines ? J'ai compris que le plus long était les 10 jours suite à la publication des bans. En tout, ... ???

Merci d'avance pour votre retour.

Hi all,

Think it was here i saw a post regarding where you can marry in Bangkok and someone posted about an office that is used by a lot of foreigners. Does anyone have any recommendations. Please no keep your "don't marry, rent" comments.

TIA

Tipps / agencies sought for getting married in Thailand without the hassle. As a German national it would seem to be particularly complicated, lengthy, and costly to marry a Thai woman. While for some nationalities (like the US) it is as “simple” as giving an affirmation of THEM never having been married at their respective consulate, who then issues a letter to present at the Amphoe. Sounds like rather streamlined. The bureaucracy involved for Germans is on a whole other level. Germans need a document from Germany called “Ehefähigkeitszeugnis” (a very German word, I know). It is a certificate that is issued by an authority in Germany (and only in German of course) that confirms that BOTH the German national AND the Thai national are free to marry EACH OTHER. That involves countless different documents, translations, notarizations, and legalizations from various authorities in both countries send back and forth. And only then would be German consulate issue a confirmation of free to marry to the Thai Amphoe. Very costly and time-consuming. A nightmare. While I was always one to avoid agencies and the brown envelope kind of way of doing things in Thailand, I am leaning towards making an exception here, if possible. Any leads on a painless way to obtaining a legit Thai marriage certificate? Both have never been married. And please, no jokes about the pain of getting married in general – and what a mistake it is. ;-)

Permission to post please.

Hello, We were married in a village ceremony 8 years ago. We didn't t legalise this marriage and is it too late to get this process done and get the paperwork?

Hi guys

Asking for a friend obviously but can you fly into Thailand from the UK on a 45 day exemption extend that for another 30 days in the meantime get married to a Thai lady and apply for a married visa is this all doable or is there a better way of doing it.

Thanks in advance

After similar experiences on marrying a Thai national, mainly steps to go through.
