Forgot to add as soon as you arrive in Thailand open up a bank account and deposit 400k baht into it. This is one of the requirements for a marriage visa. It has to be in the bank account for two whole months before you can apply for the 1 year extension. The US Embassy no longer certifies income so 400k baht is what is required.

yes go online and make an appointment. I brought my passport and divorce paper with me just in case. I also had them certify my passport as that is what my district office wanted. Once you get it done it will have to be translated into Thai and certified by the Thai MFA, Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok. I gave the affadavit and passport to an agent who translated it and they had it certified by the MFA for me. I think I paid them somewhere between 2000 - 3000 baht. The US Embassy charges 50 dollars for the affadavit and passport certification. When you have your documents together you get married then go to Immigration and apply for your 90 day Non O visa based on Marriage. Also get their list of requirements for the 1 year marraige extension. Yes, there is a lot of paperwork involved.

You will need to schedule an appointment online to do this. Schedule the appointment on the American Embassy website in Thailand.

not true. He can get the affirmation affadavit at the American Embassy and/or Counsulate in Thailand All it is, is a statement from him sworn to the Embassy official, that he is single and free to get married. I know because that is what I did.
