Assuming you are married to a Thai national and want that recognised by Thailand then as above the local district office 'amphur' is where to go.

If you where married outside of Thailand they may ask for the marriage certificate to be certified by your embassy and translated into Thai. If you intend to get married here then you will need a letter from your embassy stating you a free to marry.

Amphur office will issue a certificate and Kor ror 2 document which can then be used at immigration to obtain a stay based on marriage. You will have to show 400K baht in a bank account in your name to obtain a 12 month stay

And be mindful of weekends and holidays as Tony noted a bit earlier is wise

Typically any foreign card anywhere attracts a fee, be very surprised if not

yeah I suspect nobody likes doing it and most Thais don't have a clue of what you are talking about

Last time I stayed on Koh Larn I asked the owner of the hotel if he was going to file and thus I would need to upon returning. He told me that legally they where not a hotel and they didn't have to file, thus I didn't. Crazy inconsistencies

Become a citizen 🇹🇭

@Andy ********

good to know thanks

You will need to have your marriage recognised in Thailand, visit your Amphur office for what they need to create a Thai certificate and Kor ror 2.

Thai immigration will want a Thai certificate and Kor ror 2 plus a boat load of other documents to grant your extension

I'm no expert just a married farang

I got my yellow book before we where married it's not about marriage it is confirmation of residence in Thailand

*Letter from immigration

*Two government employees witnesses

*Head of household in blue book had to be present

I should also add I was the first person the administrator had ever issued one for, thus he got the book out literally
