If you intend using any form of ID in Thailand, you will then have to go through the process of getting your name changed in your home country, and you will have to obtain a new passport with your married name. Once you have done that you will have to take your old passport, your new passport, your marriage and name change documents and your husband to immigration. Immigration will then transfer your permission to stay into your new passport.

When you leave Thailand after this procedure, take both your old and your new passport with you. The officer on the desk may ask to see your old passport.

I want my name on the marriage certificate to be the same for both. 

That is not possible. You will not be issued a new certificate and the old certificate cannot be amended.

You will get an A4 printout with your new name, stamped by the District Office. I advise you to get a couple of copies made at the same time.

Also, how does one actually see what the year of manufacture is? I had a look on the seat belts but couldnt find anything

There is normally a black plate/sticker inside the driver's door sill. This will have the VIN number on it. The VIN number should also be visible on a small plate that is visible through the bottom corner of the windscreen.

Take a photo of the VIN number and enter it into an online decoder.

As this topic is 16 years old I think it's a little past it's prime.

I'm closing this for now - if there is a new Bangkok Expats Club please feel free to start a new topic.

Given that there seem to be a few of us with these dormant companies, there could be a business opportunity in dealing with them! 

People do not like buying existing companies as they become liable for any issues the company has, at least to the extent of any unpaid capital.

It's much easier to set a company up from scratch, and it's not that expensive.

Not true for foreigners living in Thailand? Only if citizens?

Correct. Although if you are divorced or widowed you may have to show your Embassy proof of this, in order to obtain an Affidavit of Freedom to Marry.

For those who feel that having their fingerprints taken is an invasion of their privacy, I should point out that all Thai citizens are electronically fingerprinted when they receive their Thai ID card at age 7, and also every time their ID card is renewed (ID cards expire every few years).

Privacy has a different definition in different countries.

Actually Thai nationals can only have one passport at a time

Thai citizens can hold citizenship of other countries and as such can hold multiple passports. Thailand does not disallow multiple nationality. Many Thai citizens are dual nationals.

a) how valid is the Thai prenup in the UK and Europe if we have an acrimonious divorce and she decides to go after my assets abroad?

It's not going to do much for you in the UK, especially if you have children. You would have to establish the law in each European country to find out more.

b) is there a legal firm you can recommend so that I can contact them?

Give Ben at Integrity Legal a call:

The main point is do you need a formal marriage which is officially registered with a marriage certificate? Do you actually need the piece of paper, for example, to gain permission to stay in Thailand?

If you don't the easiest option is to have the complete ceremony, but don't sign the marriage documentation. As far as Thailand law goes, you would not be married and your partner would have zero claim on your assets, even if you lived together for 20 years.

Many Thai people get married this way.

I presume it should come automatically...

I had to apply for it. It wasn't automatic for me - in fact I got the right run around.

I would like to avoid the hassle of carrying glass soda water bottles..

If glass is the issue then Schweppes manufacturer soda water in cans. Some 7-Elevens stock them.
