FAO Admin.....before I scribe a post with possible typo etc I wanted to check if it's suitable for this group as I known sometimes people on here are very agreeable and helpful but I also know sometimes people are aggressively nasty in their comments to OP or others.

I am getting married in Surin and have just completed the first 3 stages as a UK citizen on a 60day tourist visa issued by the Thai embassy London vi's E visa online.

Stage 1 British Embassy Bangkok issue docs

Stage 2 translation and notorised of docs

Stage 3 Ministry of Foreign Affairs approve both 1&2 docs above and legalised the Embassy issued docs.

Stage 4 is to visit the Amphur (for me in Surin) for actual marriage ceremony and legalisation (seperate to the wedding in the family home) neither of which I have completed yet.

All 3 stages done without an agent and has been a journey of discovery in the process that I feel may help someone else.....I have more words to say on each stage obviously....especially how to find the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 6th floor of centralwOrld in Bangkok 🤣

If you approve this post subject I'll write a little more detail on the stages and hope it can help someone who doesn't need to pay agents fees for the process.

TIA 🙏🇬🇧🇹🇭

Hi everyone, does anyone have a recommendation for a translation company close to the British Embassy in Bangkok, that I can go to in person (for affirmation of marriage certificate and passport translation) that has a 24hr turnaround? Thanks so much!

I recently recieved a new passport in Bangkok along with a pro forma letter for Thai immigration to transfer my Visa from my old passport to my new one. When I went to Thai immigration they told me that I need an affidavit from the British Embassy Bangkok to prove the passports both relate to the same person (because I had my middle name added in my new passport). The British Embassy Bangkok has responded to me and said that they do not issue affidavits. Any advice on how to transfer my Visa would be much appreciated 🙏

When you apply for a new passport at your embassy in Bangkok ( the British Embassy) give you back you current passport without corner cut , for ID purposes only , but you can not travel - Can you really not travel ??, or do they just say this ??.. I might need to pop to Singapore while new passport processed .. I can get an emergency travel document .. but its £100 and a 2 trips to Bangkok

Good morning people ive googled Brit Embasy B K about making an appointment to confirm my monthly income for an extension of one more year for my Thai wife visa any help would be much appreciated as ive visited all the sites and cant find anuthing about it
