Does anyone know the process for changing your last name in Thailand (UK citizen). Been married to my Thai husband for a couple of years, I need to renew my passport soon anyway so would like to take his name. Is it possible to do in Thailand and is it complicated with visa/ work permit being in my maiden name? Or is it too much hassle/ best to do when I next go to the UK?

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

Hi guys can anyone help I’m getting married 28 December up north to my Thai girlfriend that’s the easy part then what do I have to do ?? I plan to get married in Uk later in the year 🙏thanks in advance

My step daughter (Thai national) is getting married shortly to a Thai national. Does anyone know if I can be a witness for the marriage (Signature witness) can't seem to find any clear information on this. I'm UK national. The registration office seems to busy to respond.

Good morning thanks very much to the admins of this group for the great advice in letting me know the urgency of beginning the process of obtaining paperwork and marriage registration before my school contract ends next month 👍 we got the ball rolling yesterday with a roadtrip to Bangkok, applied for the affirmation and certified passport copy a few weeks ago on Gov website and appointment to do oath was quick at the Embassy and have an agency doing the translations and MFA and hopefully all posted here by midweek next week 👌and then onto to the local Amphur 💍hopefully if we are married by then we can go to Mahasarakham immigration to start the process on Monday 20th, I'm wondering if this is a standard request for them to swap the Non-B extension to a Non-O extension a few weeks before my school contract ends(October 15th) I've heard the process can take 5 weeks for Non-O based on marriage but my visa expires on November 20th so hopefully it will be ok

Any advice for us to get prepared will be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏
