    As far as I know it is only able to be done in Bangkok (the certification that is) but when you go there get your wife to apply for the certification as when I did it and they rejected me and my wife had to start from the beginning again and get in the back of the queue. They said I didn't have a valid visa to be able to apply. Not sure why but can't argue if those situations just have to do as you are told.

     

    Once again I emphasise that if you get Isaan lawyers to translate try and get someone to check their translation before you go to Bangkok. The translation has to match exactly what is written on the certificate. Maybe your wife is proficient in written English (mine isn't) and she can check it.

     

    Good luck

    Thanks Ootai, thats very helpful.

    I had our marriage certificate (Australia) translated and certified about 4 years ago.

    I initially used Isaan Lawyers who are located in Korat, however they made a couple of stupid mistakes with the translation which resulted in my Missus getting someone at the Buriram University to translate it to Thai.

    I personally wanted to go back and get Isaan Lawyers to make the corrections but my Missus as usual knew better and it took a whole lot of time to get the second one done. The mistake/s they made were, on the marriage certificate it says "Bridegroom" and I had signed underneath. They instead of writing my name wrote " write your name here".

     

    Once you have the translation you will need to take it to the Ministry of Foreign affairs in Bangkok to have it certified. We did that and had them post the certified document back to us rather than wait in Bangkok for a couple of days.

     

    Once you have the certified copy you will need to go to your local Amphur office and have your marriage registered there. They will then be able to provide you with a TM?? (sorry can't remember the number) which you will need to present to Immigration. I have heard that some Immigration offices like to get the TM?? dated the same day as when you apply for a Visa/Extension.

    Ok thats sound very useful info thanks.

    So no need to have my UK Embassy involved, as i just found out they dont offer this service any more.

    Also, for clarity, it has to be Ministry in Bangkok, there is no local office who can provide this service?
