yes whichever way you decide to do it will be alright I'm sure. When we travelled to Thailand my wife only had 3 months left. It was no problem. The airline check in just mentioned it but it wasn't a problem we told them she was going to renew in Thailand. Safe travels, :)

You could renew your wife's Thai passport before you leave Thailand as another option. My wife did hers same day before we came back to the UK. They do walk ins or book appointment on line for early morning. That's what we did and were able to collect the passport at 2 pm at the same office (Cheang Wattana)​

We made an appointment and attended Bang Khae District Office in Bangkok. We got the marriage certificates in both English and Thai as originals within a couple of hours but as I recall we had to make an appointment in advance.

am glad it was, helpful. The Irish immigration Web site is easy to find on Google and has all the information and links you would need.

I am not a visa expert but I considered visiting a friend in Southern Ireland when my Thai wife was visiting me in uk a couple of years ago. What I found out was that UK and Ireland are in the Common Travel Area and there was a Visa waiver scheme for non EU nationals visiting UK on a short stay visa. At the time that would have meant she could visit on her UK visa as long as she returned before it expired. Trouble was they suspended the scheme due to covid. I just checked and they have resumed it. But it is only for visitors on a short stay visa up to 6 months. It doesn't apply if your wife is on pre settled status it seems. From what I saw on the Irish immigration Web site she would need to apply for a visa but she may not need to pay for it being resident in the UK. I guess there is the option to fly to Belfast but crossing into the south without a visa could be a problem if you are stopped for any reason. Good luck I hope you get to the wedding.

There is a page on .gov.uk about applying for a british passport overseas. It is here

according to the Thai govt Web site you can enter visa exempt for 30 days as far as I can see. The Web site may not reflect the new 45 day duration yet as it only came into effect 1st October check here
