Another rec for Airalo! This’ll save you $3:

Phew, they accepted it. (No need to have it certified by the MFA.)

For anyone curious, this saga continues! I sent the marriage certificate to the UK to be legalised/apostilled, got it back, uploaded a copy, and they still are asking for "Parent's marriage certificate notarized by the Embassy of England or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Government Agency for authentication" -- what am I doing wrong?! The apostille is an internationally recognized form of document legalization under the Hague Convention, which I understand Thailand is a party to, so this apostilled document should more than suffice under international agreements. 🥵😆

Follow up: so we’ll be entering Thailand Saturday on tourist visas as we get this document. Any harm in telling them we have a visa app pending in the states? We have plans to leave Thailand within 60 days so no issue there.

@Bob ********

we did that and they came back asking for this 🤷🏻‍♀️ just submitted again along with photos of recent trips, us celebrating anniversaries, joint bank statement, signed statements of our plans in Thailand + my approved DTV visa, etc. 🤞

@John *********

this is an application for our son.

Their words, not mine.

@John *********

I know that! 😆

Neither here nor there, but still curious what unmarried parents need to provide. I know it’s irrelevant.

@Sharon ******

thanks! I saw this! Was in England for our once yearly visit a few months ago but had no idea this was needed. We have never lived in England as a married couple. 😆
