Thank you! Now I am more clear in what they were trying to do. But still, that was disappointing.

Sorry to hear that. I wanted my brother to visit me in the U.S. long time ago and his visa was denied too. It puzzled me when he used to visit me once in the U.S. Now, he said that he’d rather spend money in the other countries. I personally don’t think that they should deny her visa. That’s very disappointing.

I thought if you registered the marriage, they wouldn’t deny you a visa to the spouse’s country. How could they deny the U.S. entry when she was married to a U.S. citizen? That puzzled me?????

Did you marry in Thailand? Maybe you need to register your marriage at the U.S. Embassy in Thailand to have them recognize that she married to a U.S. citizen. I married my husband for over 30 yrs, I just went to the Thai Embassy in DC to register my marriage and then went to Thailand to register my marriage there.

My country of passport is USA. I live in Maryland.

I just came back from BKK to the U.S. Last month, I went to BKK to register my marriage. We have been married for over 30 yrs. I had to translate all of my documentations to Thai. My friend found out for me that we could translate it ourselves and she was right. My friend translated everything to Thai and we went to Central World (6 floor) to submit. We had to make some corrections. They circled what we need to correct and told us what words to use. So, I did not spend anything. I originally talked to someone at the Best Translation. You can e mail them at mybesttranslation.th@gmail. com or call them at 02-102-0563 or 02-102-0564. Cell phone at 098-246-4108. I did not endorse them because I did not use them. I gave you the contact number if you don’t know anybody. I think they were going to charge me 6000 baht because I have a lot of pages (11 pages)to translate. They will charge you per page. I assume you have less pages than mine. Good luck.

I also took my marriage certificate to amphur. If you remember what amphur you used to live, you may try that too. Good luck!

Thank you! It is very informative.

Hello, I am Thai and I just went to register our marriage at the Thai Embassy in Bangkok last month. They have opened an office upstairs in Central World sixth floor Zone D ( Rama1 Road). You can e mail them at consular. mfg.go.th or call them at 091-723-3604. I would assume that they can answer your questions . If not,they probably can refer you to someone who can help. Good luck!
