You sure? I've read that it has to stay there all year. What am I confused about? or is it another case of wrong info? If I can use it that would be great! Plan to take the wife to the US before the end of next year anyway but, you know, things can change.
I was speaking about what the Amphur will want. They all want the authorization to marry regardless of one's nationality or whether you are married here or your home country. Mine MAY want my passport certified. I heard it mentioned once but didn't ask for clarification so I'm going back to ask more questions since now I'm spending more money to give them what they want. It's getting ridiculous.
Per the other poster, visit your Amphur first and find out what they want. Take detailed notes because you will forget everything they want. Take a Thai speaker and hopefully they know good English. Going through the same process too. It's a pain in the butt and you will spend several thousand baht on translations. Crazy stupid! I'm taking
advice and will probably just get remarried in Thailand. Will visit the Amphur before I go to BKK to get my marriage authorization to verify what I need to get married. Certifying marriage cert by the US embassy will cost me $50 US. If the Amphur needs my passport certified too that's another $50! Plus plane tickets and hotel/food. Getting married in Thailand is one big money making scheme. Oh, let's not forget the
look at their profile before you make assumptions. So they seek out a FB group before going to the embassy web sight? Do you know how many idiots don't even know what they are talking about in this group? They think because they came to Thailand once they are an expert. She needs to do more research than just FB.
