Is it possible to get married by power of attorney (POA) in Thailand?

Mark ********

@Benjamin *****

It's not uncommon in Muslim marriages where the marriage takes place over the phone

Do I need to have my Social Security income deposited in a Thai bank to qualify for a retirement visa?

It's not your job to tell your agent how to do things. If they don't know about this, what else don't they know about

@Bobby *******

So the question remains how and/or why are all the other Embassies still managing to issue these certificates....I can't believe that there wasn't something that could be done on one or both sides to sort the situation out🤔

Will a prenuptial agreement drafted in Australia be recognized in Thailand after a wedding there?

Mark ********

Without checking the CCC in detail, it seems that if the prenuptial was registered with the marriage (if both carried out abroad) and otherwise complies with Thai law, I suspect that the court would at least strongly take it into account without good reason

No reason they shouldn't. Depends on what Thai law says regarding the requirements for pre-nuptials (which I don't know about) Some countries will accept a properly drawn up prenuptial regardless of where it was drawn up. Is don't know what the specifics are for Thai pre-nuptials in terms of content, registration etc.

maybe tech nerds think these things are important than the rest of the world or 'normal' people. Most clients are just interested in ease and reliability of contact than what a Hotmail account means

jurisdiction is usually determined by residence. You can state a jurisdiction in the prenuptial but it doesn't mean that it can only be enforced that way

@Tod ********

I've used a Hotmail account professionally (albeit mostly as a secondary/backup account) for 25 years. I've never had another lawyer or court official mention that it wasn't "professional". Particularly for small firms or independent lawyers, it isn't uncommon
