    Getting married in Thailand. First and foremost, you should check the requirements at your local Amphoe office where you intend to register your marriage. Most Amphoe's will at minimum require an Embassy certified copy of your Passport information page, as well as an 'affidavit' of no impediment to marry, certified by your Embassy. These documents must be translated into Thai, then both the original and translations legalised by the Legalisation division of the Consular department of Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Typical documents required by an Amphoe. Passport. Intended spouses Tabien Baan and ID card. Embassy certified 'affidavit''…

    Hello All, I'm new to this forum but am hoping I can hear some advice. Please allow me to explain my situation. I met my Thai wife in Japan, and this is where we currently live. After 4 years of dating I proposed to her and then 1 year later we got married purely in the legal sense (at the city hall in Tokyo). We are hoping to have an actual wedding in Thailand after Covid has calmed down. Now I need to be clear, I was made aware of the dowry before we got married, and my understanding of it was that it would cost somewhere around £3000 and that typically it is given back and is more of a symbolic gesture. So, we offered a dowry of £3000. My wife's mot…

    Ok so im hoping someone can clarify this because any youtube video, or visa lawyer site is pretty much mum on this topic. The requirements for income state that for a marriage visa you need to verify that you have 40,000 baht per month income OR 400,000 in a thai bank account. Since most embassies are no longer verifying income (including the US) what is the deal? For instance, I am retired and have a federal pension that is MORE than the 40,000 per month requirement. But, I do not have the ten grand to put into a thai bank account.. so is there another way to verify my income? has anyone else gone through this?

    During July of last year 2020 the Thai cabinet approved a draft civil partnership bill and an accompanying law amending parts of the Thai Civil Code —to recognize same-sex civil partnerships. Currently the civil partnership bill is still in draft form and has yet to be vetted by the Thai Parliament before coming into law. I am looking for an update on behalf of a young couple.

    I have just done Attestation of Freedom to Marry and passport certification at the British embassy and thought I would share my experience it in case it is of interest/ help to others because when I researched the subject online previously the information that I could find was out of date. The following points are noteworthy. For the proof of address for the foreigner you have to have pink ID card or yellow house book if you give a Thailand address. If you give a UK address you can use documents from a list given including utility bills and bank statements or you can use a UK driving license . I have lived in Thailand for years but don’t have pink id or house …

    Hi, I am currently in thailand and wanting to get married to my partner. We have been together 3 years no so it's time to bite the bullet. I am from Australia and I know I need to fill in the certificate of no impediment to marry and send this to the bangkok australian embassy to show I haven't been married before. I was hoping someone could clarify, the 2nd page of the form asks details of partner. I assume this should only be filled in if I had been married before? https://thailand.embassy.gov.au/bkok/Getting_Married_in_Thailand.html https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/sites/default/files/2019-10/form-no-impediment-marriage.pdf Thanks for you…

He might start receiving Social Security in a few years. She will have a government pension (government worker). Neither have been married prior. We talked about possible marriage in the future and assumed a prenuptial. Both have significant assets from home country. Assume we want to protect those a…

    It was June 2004 made legal in BangNa, but our wedding was a traditional style event with friends and family and the local Monks, My wife wore a traditional gown for her liking and looked stunning(as she always will). I found this video of Thai traditional wear, It reminded so much of our wedding I really wanted to share it with you all.

    I’ve heard and read a lot of craziness with this whole Phuket sandbox thing but the craziest thing so far is when I heard they don’t people staying in the hotel room together unless they are married. First of all I was coming to Phuket to propose to my gf and we definitely were going to stay in the same room. This new rule pumped the brakes on my trip. But how will they police this anyway? Are they gonna have guards at every hotel room door? What’s to keep a person from booking two rooms and sneaking over at night? I mean who’s thinking up these crazy rules. It’s ridiculous! They want to bring tourists back but all these rules are working against that goal. Thoughts anyon…

    When going for a divorce, what information does the "adjudicator" need in terms of assets and income here and abroad.? How much are you legally required to disclose.? Does the person have the power to make a legally enforceable divorce settlement and maintenance payment. She has the property such as it is and says she is asking for nothing (which is almost the level of my Thai assets) but I suspect she will tell a different story on the day. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
