Asking folks from California…

Does LA consulate require federal authentication for a US marriage certificate when applying for a Non-O spouse visa? I heard that the process can be long.

Ok tried searching the group and asking friends and still get answers all over the place.

US guy (me) married to dual US/Thai woman (my wife).

She has her Thai ID still in her maiden name and two passports in married name.

She has her Tabien Baan.

For me to apply for a non-o based on marriage, do we need to get our marriage docs certified in Thailand?

Or can I apply for a non-o based on marriage using our US-based marriage certificate as "proof of relationship to a family in Thailand"?

My husband and I have retired in Thailand, where he was born and has acquired citizenship. We entered the country on a retirement visa, but are experiencing difficulties in obtaining the necessary paperwork to legally reside in Thailand as his spouse. We possess a valid marriage license and certificate issued in the USA. Should we consider remarrying in Thailand to simplify the process, given our 28 years of marriage?

I'm an American married to a Thai. I was married in USA. I want to register my marriage. Can I just have my marriage certificate translated and will that be accepted along with other documents. Immigration can't seem to give me an absolute answer. I been to 2 different locations and still don't know. Has anyone used a certified translated marriage certificate for proof from Thailand? Some people say I need certification from my home country embassy which since I'm in Thailand isn't possible.

US passport holder married to Thai wife with child that has Thai passport and Thai birth certificate. We only have a US marriage certificate. I plan to travel outside Thailand frequently for work and would like to apply for a one year multi entry spouse or guardian visa in Savannah ket, Laos so I don't need to bank money.

Is getting a US marriage certificate translated and registered with the govt office in chaeng watthana to use for the visa more of a hassle than getting married again in Thailand?

Is the guardian visa easier to get since we seem to have all the paperwork?
