What steps does an Australian citizen need to take to register their marriage in Thailand while on a Non-O visa?

Colin **********

Henry, If I understand you correctly it’s a 3-step process.

1. Have his Aussie marriage certificate translated and the translation certified at the MFA

2. Have the Aussie embassy certify his Aussie marriage, based on the above document

3. Have the MFA translate and certify the Aussie certification

Is that correct?

Kind Regards Colin

How can I keep my retirement visa in my passport while receiving a new UK passport in Thailand?

Colin **********

@Thomas ********

This is discretionary and will require a valid reason, like you travel alot on business and will be held up when obtaining visa, or you travel to two countries where they would not let you in with the other countries stamp in your passport.

Will immigration accept a printed bank statement for retirement visa extension from Bangkok Bank?

Colin **********

Sorry, it takes 7 days to order and receive the statement.

BTW my office will accept my bank passbook, but it needs to be updated monthly. Worth asking immigration for the future.
