I was just wondering who here has recently applied for the affirmation of freedom to marry from the British embassy?

I'm going to have to do it soon and I just had a few questions.

I've had a browse on the .gov website and even went a few steps into the application by but didn't get far as I do not need to apply yet

So got my free to marry and notarised passport stuff, took it to the translator/agent for translation and stamp from MFA. Just got a call from them saying they need copies of Lady's ID as well. I didn't think her stuff mattered until we went to the local office. Help?

Hello everyone. Does an U.S. citizen need to notarize his copy of the passport if he wishes to marry a Thai citizen. I got the affirmation of freedom to marry stamped by the embassy, but I did not stamp the copy of the passport because I was told at the embassy that they were not sure if I needed it l. Yesterday, I tried to translate the documents into Thai, and I was told I had to come back to the embassy and get my passport certified.

Hello everyone, we are coming to Thailand to get married in June. I have 2 questions.

1. Has anyone married another person in Thailand before? (2 foreigners from a different country)

I am Greek/Canadian my fiance is from Myanmar. Please let me know of your experiences.

2. Has anyone recently entered on a tourist visa? Anyone gone into quarantine with their fiance or boyfriend using a different flight to come into the country? (but same day)

Hello everyone!

My experience from yesterday. After obtaining the marriage documents, legalized in proper way, with my thai girlfriend we decided to check where to get married and what is the procedure and requirements in the respective amphur in Bangkok . We checked personally at Bang Rak and Bang Sue, phoned at Huai Kwang. In all three places, we were told that must wait at least one-two months to make the appropriate inspection of me. No problem if mariage is between thai citizens. Huai kwang explained that this is because of many fake marriages lately. We asked whether the process could be speeded up because my visa is SE for 60 days but told us that they can't do anything and the only thing we can do is to wait...

So if you decide to marry in Thailand, keep in mind that you will need at least 2-3 months to go through their endless procedures and think well what kind of visa you'll need. Forget about visa exemption stay here. I would be grateful if anyone shared their experience in such a case. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. I would like to get some advice about a couple of things. Half about visa, half about marriage. I'm South African and I have been living and working in China for the past 5 years. My Thai fiance and I are planning on getting married so I applied for an affirmation of freedom to marry from my embassy in Bangkok. My embassy in Shanghai said I had to do it there. So I applied for it and waited 4 months for this document to come from South Africa. Now it arrived and I had to take it to the consulate office here in Bangkok to get authenticated. I just got back from their offices and they told me that I now have to send this back to the Thai embassy in South Africa so that they can stamp it and then I need to bring it back. This seems like a horrific pointless back and forth and I am not sure why all of this is required. So I would like to know if this is really how it is supposed to go or is someone making a ton of work for me unnecessarily.

The second part, if by some miracle we manage to get married, I need to apply for my Non-O visa. For that, I need proof of income. Would it be OK if I just show them bank statements to show I get this kind of income every month?

One would think that 2 people who would like to get married would be a fairly simple procedure, but good Lord this just feels like getting sent from one place to the other with no one actually being able to give clear steps from start to finish.
