I am in Phuket what else do I need

Just done 90 days and done visa run got another 60 days

I now I need bank account but think I need

(Khor.Ror.22) first

Appreciate any help

I'm a bit stuck with wonder if anyone can help with some advice.

My plan is to purchase property with my wife, so I need a bank account. She will purchase in her name, and offer a lease with a loan to give me some security. I'm chatting with Pattaya agencies to assist with getting a bank account. I've been told I can't get a bank account on a visa exemption because I'm under 50. So - I need a visa first, yet visas often seem to need a bank account!

My circumstances:

-British Citizen, under 50.

-Married to my Thai wife 13 years, dual nationality.

-We live in the UK

-She changed her name to English name on both passports + Thai ID

-But- we don't have a marriage certificate in Thailand

-Child born in England, dual nationality with full passport+Thai ID

-Only on visa exemption

Problem is - I don't think any of the visa categories work.

-Marriage visa - requires money in a Thai bank account, and a house book entry

-Retirement visa - not old enough

-None of the work visas make sense, I'm not working.

My Question: Do I need an Affidavit of Freedom to marry if I am marrying (in Thailand) the Thai citizen to whom I’m already married in my home country?

To my fellow Americans that married their Thai wives in Thailand. I have to ask this dumb question. Have you ever submitted the following visas below? What is the difference between the two?

- Immigrant visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen

- Nonimmigrant visa for spouse (K-3)

Long term plan is to retire in Thailand. For now, outside her visa to states which I believe it allows 6 months stay at a time. I wanted something more concrete if I decide to go back and work there.

It says the visa has to be issued here in Thailand since we got married here. I'm open for feedback or suggestions.

I am planning on retiring to Thailand in May. I had planned on starting with the 6 month Multiple Entry visa . And if my current relationship remains as it has been ,apply for a marriage visa . Can the application be started while in Thailand ? Is the multiple entry visa a correct choice prior to marriage visa or would a different visa be better ? Thanks

I’m 64 on social security and two pensions from airlines. I’m married to a Thai gal 3 years here in America. She owns a few big farm tracts in Thailand phitsanulok and we’re building a house with family member that’s a skilled tradesman. I’ve been there twice each about 45 to 30 days long. First my wife on a 10 year green card. But I realize she can’t be out USA more than 6 months at a time. Or lose return papers. So she is studying for American citizenship. So she can travel with out hinderance.

This is now me. I live being here during spring summer. I can’t stand winter. So I’m considering living in Thailand 8 months a year. I’m registered at a my wife’s house there. But I need to get my marriage certificate converted to Thai. So I can register my marriage there. For marriage visa. Has anyone here done this. So far I’ve run into I must have American embassy certification it’s real marriage certificate then walk to Thai embassy to have them convert it to Thai.

Any input to the marriage visa?

Hi

This is the reply I received from the Thai Embassy, London. Thought this might be helpful if theres anyone like ourselves who wish to register their UK marriage in Thailand.

They assumed we were changing surnames which we are not. I have uploaded the docs to files section

According to changing surname, it must be submitted the document and done at local district office in Thailand.

Firstly, husband have to bring a copy of his UK passport and the agreement to use surname form to sign it in front of UK solicitor. After that you need to send those two document and UK marriage certificate to be certified by Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

Once you receive it back from FCDO, UK marriage certificate and a copy of husband's UK passport have to be translated in Thai.

Our requirement:

1. Legalisation form, see attached file.

2. UK Marriage Certificate and a copy of husband's passport which are certified by Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)

3. Agreement to use surname form which is certified by FCDO

4. Translation documents in Thai

5. A copy of wife's Thai passport

6. Fee 10 GBP per document (can be paid by debit card/contactless or cash)

For translator, you can contact primeconsularservices@gmail.com

If your just registering your marriage, not changing surnames the process is much easier.

In order to register your marriage certificate in Thailand, your UK marriage certificate has to certified by FCDO and legalised by Royal Thai Embassy in London.

However, you need to translate your marriage certificate into Thai as well before submitting at local district office in Thailand.

"It has to have the Thai Embassy stamp or the Local district office will not register the marriage."

Yours sincerely,

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get a yellow book from Wang Noi district office, I am married to Thai citizen and we were married in Thailand. I am a UK citizen. They are asking for the following documents and won't provide the yellow book until I can provide them:

1) A document confirming that our marriage is legal in the UK.

2) A document showing my residence in the UK. (I've been living in Thailand for 4 years and technically I'm no longer resident in the UK)

Both requests are completely illogical and the British Embassy is clear about the notorial documents it provides and the first one isn't on the list.

Has anyone else ran into this problem? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks - Rob

So, based on my research it appears regardless if I get married in Thailand or my home country I have to go to my embassy and get a certified marriage/divorce affidavit and possibly have my passport certified to register our marriage? Is this correct?

Wondering about being legally considered married in USA to my Thai wife. I'm a US citizen and our marriage registered here.
