Are you asking about staying with a DTV visa or as a tourist? Tourist are facing more scrutiny now with long stays using on visa exempt.

With DTV there is no issue

Oh and you need the location where it was filed with the courts. Bring a regular copy for your own information to copy the details asked on the affidavit

@Paul ******

they don’t ask for them. You are swearing or attesting that the information is true and accurate. They don’t verify anything. You need the dates as it is requested on the document but they don’t ask or want to see.

@Paul ******

state certified copies mean nothing to local Ampurs in Thailand. Check with the local ampur and ask them what they need. If they need said certified copies of your divorce papers then you have to take them to embassy for them to stamp. It may also require the US State department stamp as well. Just like any document leaving Thailand that needs to be certified legal in any other country must go through the Thailand MFA after the local ampur has stamped it. I have just done the marriage back in November and doing the opposite now to use our marriage certificate in the US with SSA and VA. Oh and your divorce papers will need to be translated and stamped by MFA if your local ampur actually requires them.

@Steven ******

at $50 US dollars each document it makes a difference since I was required to get a certified copy of my passport and a certified copy of the marriage affidavit.

@Steven ******

I never had to show either of those nor get them certified.

Make sure you have the dates of marriage/ divorce and 2 personal references along with their contact and mailing address.

@Mark *******

certified passport copy is an actual appointment the US Embassy does provide. Take a color copy printed of your passport bio page and payment $50 USD or 1800 baht as of last week. Make the appointment on their appointment page and show up about 15 minutes before your appointment and be finished with your certified in about 10 minutes.

sounds like you are using a credit card to fund the transaction. If you use debit card or direct bank funding then it’s a flat fee. USD it’s $2.99 The only variable is the transfer rate and in USD it’s about .30-.60 baht per dollar less than the local exchange boxes advertised rates.

It is my understanding that using specifically Bangkok Bank you would be using their US routing number and your account number and this can be done in the online system. The change looks just like it’s a change to a US bank because of them using the US routing number for this NY branch. If not with Bangkok Bank then I am unsure of your path.
