After thirteen years being together and the village wedding back in 2018, we want to get our marriage certificate. I have US (native) and NZ passports and have divorce decrees from both US and NZ.

Can anyone tell me the steps required to get our marriage certificate from her hometown in Surin? There seems to be conflicting info on different sites.

My main questions are:

* Do I need to go to both embassies with my divorce decrees, or is the last one sufficient?

* Is there a need to also go to the Legalization Division of Consular Affairs Department? I saw this on only one site

Thanks for your insight into this... we'd like the smoothest experience possible!

What is the telephone number and email address for Thailand Pass office in Bangkok?

Someone posted it on a FB group, perhaps here. I cannot find it.

BTW, I recommend patience and *politeness*.

My wife and I both British just went to Jomtien Immigration to renew our extension of stay based on retirement. This was our 14th consecutive extension with my wife piggy backed on to my visa and never had a problem.

Today they said they would renew mine but my wife had to travel to Bangkok to get our marriage cert stamped at the Department of Consular Affairs. First we ever heard of this in all the years of living here. Has anyone else had similar ?

Hi!

My passport was stolen/got lost. I had a Non Immigrant B visa.

I got my new passport and went to the Immigration Bureau. I had all the required papers and pictures with me (I thought) but it wasn't enough.

I need a letter from the embassy in Hanoi (where I got my visa) proving that my visa is real. I was sent to the Department of Consular Affairs. They would call me when they had the paper. They said Monday.

I haven't heard anything and they don't reply emails nor pick up their phone.

Do anyone know what to do in this situation? It's pretty urgent since I'm applying for extension and work permit + have to go to my home country soon for a short stay.

Thank you 🙏
