,

I’d like to ask for advice from those who have registered a foreign marriage in Thailand and obtained Kor Ror 22 at a district office (Amphur).

I’ve heard that some Amphurs keep the original foreign marriage certificate, while others only keep a certified copy. We only have one original document, so I’m a bit concerned.

Does anyone have recent experience with an Amphur that did not retain the original and accepted copies instead?

I understand that procedures can vary by district and may change over time — just hoping to learn from others’ experiences to choose the best option.

Thank you so much in advance!

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?

What is the current procedure for getting a Kor Ror 22?

We got married in the US and I entered Thailand on a 90 day Non-O and I am worried that I can’t get a Kor Ror 22 in time to apply for one year extension.

Do I need to bring our marriage certificate to the US embassy for anything? They don’t have any appointments available for a month.
