Has anyone in Bangkok got married recently? My fiancé and I are both farangs, we have our embassy affidavits translated and legalised and now just need the marriage certificate from the Amphur.

I spoke with 2/3 of the Bangkok ones, Khet Prakhanong’s number in not in service, and both said 1-2 months just for an appointment.

I read a blog from 2021 that mentioned a new process. After the initial appointment, the Amphur confirms the affidavits with our embassies and this takes 40 days, rendering the translation and legalisation a pointless process. I’ve only seen this mentioned once though.

After a few years of living here, I think I already know the answer; an agent, but keen to hear any recent experiences.

Hello everyone,

Has anyone heard about “person who come from Middle East countries” can not get married in Thailand?

Me(from Taiwan) and my Israeli boyfriend are preparing to get married, we have all the documents, and we’ve asked district offices in CM, but they refused us to register marriage because they said my boyfriend is from Middle East.

A lawyer said we can get married in Bangkok, however we have to pay 10,000-15,000 for “tea money”.

Anyone had experience like this before? Thanks in advance🙏
