The Names Bond

Dave, I have recently married in BKK after starting the procedures at The British Embassy. If you are divorced make sure you produce the ORIGINAL document. The first visit I thought mine was original. Got turned away applied for a certified copy from Uk cost me £215. 

Also when completing the questionnaire make sure it is 1 million % perfect following the example they show you. I made a few errors including in the word Mother's, I neglected to type the apostrophe. My Budha how fussy is that? The second attempt I managed to jump the hurdle safely. Good Luck

This link if clicked from the embassy website works.

Edit: It was spinning when I tried the link. Now to see if this works. Book an appointment for an oath, affirmation or affidavit in Bangkok

Edit: It worked

Well done Ubon. I had the same trouble 2 months ago. I kept clicking on each day which was not available but eventually white boxes appeared. I have just tested the above site and Vacancies appear. Now married happily ever after, I hope ha ha

The thing is that anyone who is on a government pension can prove their income quite easy and it is also easy for the embassies to be able to verify government pensions. It would not take much for each of the embassies to have access to the amounts that are paid for the different government pensions. I can print mine out of official Australian government letterhead and it tells the type of pension that I am receiving so how hard would it be for the embassies to have a list of the different government pensions to check.

Why should our own Embassies be involved? Extra work and checking etc. It will be very straightforward now showing the figures required in a Thai Bank Account. It will save us paying for this embassy letter so quids in. I believe there have been too many dodgy dealings by some persons using companies which are dishonestly showing that Farang has sufficient funds to live here. Everyone knows it goes on but nothing has been done about it until now. Thailand, as we all know, has many corrupt practices and it would appear they are trying to become more honest. A large task for sure but they have to start somewhere.
