No, it isn't a lot more work to get married. If the foreign spouse is divorced it is a lot more work, as also the divorce papers need to be certified by the embassy, translated and certified again by the Thai foreign ministry.

If the child is born before you are married there will be extra paperwork involved for the father to become the father of the child as far as the law is concerned. If the child is born in Thailand, it will not be a problem. The moment you marry, the father will become the legal of the child and that problem is settled.

You seem to be having the child in your own country, in that case the father needs to legitimize the child under the law of your country.

When I got married, earlier this year, only the British consulate wanted to see my ORIGINAL divorce decree before issuing my "Affirmation of freedom to marry". Not required by ministry of foreign affairs.

Best to get married in Thailand before baby born, everything easy then.

That's my question what is it that makes it harder if we would get married after the baby is born??

Hi ladies,

I am new to the forum, after 'getting lost' for a while in all the interesting and sometimes familiar stories, I thought I might ask my question here:

After living together with my Thai bf in Thailand for a couple of years now, we want to get married, I am pregnant with our first child [and back in europe for a while for that reason] and according to a Thai friend [who got married to his farang lady after having their 2nd child] it is a lot more paperwork when you want to get married and there is a child involved...

I can't seem to find a whole lot of info about this, does any of you have any experience?

I know what papers to bring from the Cityhall of my birthplace to get maried but other than that...?

Thanks for reading!
