Hello there,

I am trying to apply for marriage visa not sure how to start, I married my thai wife in Australia 10 years ago, I am an australian citizen lives in bangkok for over six months on tourist visa. my question is can I use the australian marriage certificate to prove the marriage status, if so do I need to register my marriage in thai embassy in Austrlaia before applying or can I apply for the 1 year visa inside thailand or first I have to get 3 months non immigrent marriage visa perhaps going to Cambodian thai embassy rather than travelling to Australia?

An Aussie friend is married to a Thai in Australia, they now want to live in Thailand, he is now here on a 90 day Non o visa for a Thai wife and wants to gain an extension local based on his Thai wife. he understands the ext requirements. but is un-clear what the steps are for him to get married at the Amphur office.

He visited the Amphur office and they told him he had contact the Aussie embassy to have his Aussie marriage translated and certified. does anyone know if this correct? Also he needs to get his passport translated and certified. Normally this can be done by the MFA. Can anyone clarify? what the steps are?

Kind Regards

Colin

Is an Australian Marriage Certificate good enough for visa purposes, or does it need translation to Thai language?
