the process at the Ministry of foreign affairs takes a lot longer these days. Since Covid a lot of the time I can take up to 5 working days.

If you’re Australian you will have to go to the embassy in person to get your paperwork and after the marriage, you don’t need to go back to have your document legalised.

@Phil *****

Correct, it means absolutely nothing.

Depending on where you’re from, you need to go to your embassy to get ‘Freedom to Marry’ certificate. This will then need to be translated into Thai. Then it needs to be handed in at the Ministry of foreign affairs, depending on if you’re doing this in Bangkok for for example in Chang Mai processing time can be anything between 3 to 6 working days. With this paperwork you need to go to your local amphur office, hand in your documents and your wife’s documents (Usually just the Thai ID card, sometimes copy of house book, and if she was married before divorce papers) Then you get married at the registry office there, have you received your pretty flowery wedding certificate and Kor Ror 2. So again depending on your nationality this is basically it, but certain nationalities require you to go back to the embassy and have your Thai marriage certificate legalised so that it is legal in your home country. Most embassies don’t require you to do this though

@Phil *****

It does not have to be complicated at all. Depending on your nationality can be very straightforward. However certain embassies make it a complicated process that is correct.

I totally understand what this visa is for. As mentioned in my post, I have been on the same Visa kind for years as I am the owner of a company and holder of a work permit in Thailand!! The reason for my question was, as I’ve been told that there is a new consul and that this may not be issued anymore. In fact, a lot of the embassies and consulates in Europe do not issue this Visa anymore.
