Just checking

We married in The Netherlands and want to register our marriage in Thailand too. Than I can base the yearly extention of a Non-immigrant O visa on our marriage. I had our marriage certificate legalized here in The Netherlands by the MFA and the Thai embassy. So far so good.

I found a translator in Bangkok who will do the registration at the MFA in Bangkok. For that I will provide here with the legalized marriage certificate, a legalized copy of my passport by the Dutch embassy, a copy of the Thai identity card of my spouse and his Tabien Baan. The translator will send the registered document to our address in Phitsanulok. Than I will register our marriage at the municipality (Amphur). I was told that I should insist to keep the original marriage certificate for Immigration, the Amphur should keep a copy. I hope this goes well. Anyone who has experience with this?

Having done all this, after two months of stay I can ask Immigration for extension of my visa, based on our marriage. My Thai spouse has a bank account with more than 400,000 baht, so I don't need a bank account of my own. At least that's what Immigration told me in April when we were there. But if necessary I can open a bank account of my own with a Certificate of Residence, to be provided by Immigration. To be sure, I will check again with Immigration after our arrival.

For the extension next year we will not have 400,000 baht any more on my spouses bankaccount, we will use the money for a house (to assure my rights, we will register an Usufruct agreement for as long as I live). But the Dutch embassy can provide an affidavit about my pension, that's enough. Just to be sure, I will also check this with Immigration.

Anyone any comment? Did I miss something? Thank you.

What documents do I need in Thailand to extend my visa based on marriage and is the marriage certificate ok in English from Australia cheers

Does a translation of my UK marriage certificate need to be certified by the Thai Embassy in London?

I am asking in relation to obtaining a Kor Ror 22 for a 1-year extension based on a marriage in the UK. My question is specific to a UK marriage certificate and getting the correct documentation in place.

My understanding of the process is as follows:

1. IN THE UK: Marriage certificate legalised by the FCDO in Milton Keynes

2. IN THE UK: Mariage certificate verified by the Thai Embassy in London

3. IN THAILAND: Marriage certificate translated

4. IN THAILAND: Translation of marriage certificate verified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

I am asking for clarification as to whether or not the Thai Embassy in London need to verify a translation of the marriage certificate, or if that only needs to be done by the MFA in Thailand.

Thank you!

1) is there only one "ministry of foreign affairs" in Thailand? I've heard nightmares about getting in at Bangkok.

2) are there agents that just handle this step for marriage process?

Hello. I am preparing the documents to enroll my son in an international school with an ED visa. But his birth certificate is in French and it is expected to be in English. I understood that the procedure to follow was:

1) Make a true copy at the French embassy

2) Have the document translated by an approved translator

3) Validate the translation at the French embassy

4) Legalize the document with the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The procedure seems long, especially because there are deadlines for appointments at the French embassy. Is it possible to pay someone to take care of all the steps for me or do I have to be there in person? And if my presence is expected, is it only mine or also that of my son?

Do you have any tips for speeding up the process?

Is it possible to follow the first 3 steps from another country like Malaysia or Vietnam or does it absolutely have to be done from Thailand?

(Now we are in Vietnam)

Thank you all

Hi. I want to apply for the Thai marriage visa. I’m already married to a Thai citizen and I’m getting all the paperwork, money in bank together etc.

Today I was told that I need to get the Thai marriage certificate translated into English, notarised by the British embassy and verified by the Thai Ministry of foreign affairs.

Is this correct? (Seems bizarre as I got married in Thailand and the marriage certificate is in Thai but wouldn’t surprise me.) thanks 🙏

Ok clever people. My thai daughter in law apparently needs her marriage certificate verified at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Phuket. So she can send to US embassy. Mr.Google has failed us. Any ideas?

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

Hi, I’m hoping you can help with some advice. I have a UK degree that I need to certify a copy of to get a work permit and non-imm visa in Thailand. I am in Thailand currently on amnesty. How could I do this without having to send the document to the UK and going through the FCO & Thai embassy in London? The document needs to go to the Ministru of Foreign Affairs in Thailand for a stamp. I understand that Thai notary can’t do this for me. Any advice greatly appreciated...

Recently posted in a teachers forum, third party info. However, I recently attempted to get my criminal record check certified at the U.K. Embassy in Bangkok last month - they point blank refused and said that it needs to be done by a third party in the UK. This wouldn’t be enough for the MFA to certify it anyway, so if this is true it’s an impossible requirement to meet (at least with a UK document anyway).
