Make an appointment at the US Embassy.

1. You make a blank affidavit confirming your overseas marriage is genuine and bona fide.

2. Have the Embassy certify the affidavit, a copy of your US marriage certificate and a copy of your Passport.

3. Take these documents to the translation office 2nd floor of MFA.

4. Submit the certified and translated documents to the legalisation office of the MFA.

5. Pay EMS return, takes about 5 working days.

 

A friend did exactly the same a fortnight ago.

10.30am Embassy appointment, translated and left with the MFA for legalisation and return EMS.

Out and on their way home by 1500.

Hi, Do you know where can I find translator by US embassy or Klongtoey MRT.  I think at Klongtoey mrt has MFA to certify the legalized document.  So I think I will go there in stead of going to Head Office at CW.  Anyone used the one in Klongtoey MRT?  

thank you.

The will certify a copy of your passport as true and correct. No need for an affidavit.

Thank you very much Ubonjoe.  I will print out different version and bring to US embassy so will be no surprised for me.  Millions thanks for your help and other in the forum.  I hope there will be a good news about amnesty comes out soon so I will not need to do all of this.

Those are thai people who lived or worked from another countries.  To come back to Thailand they need to get approve from Thai consulate to get charter flights.  So Thai consulate will ask for Covid test to be negative 72 hours and fit to fly document before allow them to catch the flight.  If there were negative before flight then they are possibly negative.  Asymptomatic carrier should be test as positive but does not show symptom.  So there should not be any asymptomatic carrier on the flight.  So the infected person had covid but did not show in blood test.  When they arrived in Thailand and quarantine, the covid showed up after couple day.  Now the passengers who flown with the person will catch it too?

I don't think they will accept it with that wording at the embassy.

They will do a certified copy of your passport that is a separate thing they will do. "Certified true copies of U.S. passports"

They will not certify a copy of your marriage certificate.

I do not need "affidavit" form for certified passport?  just copies of my passport and Embassy will put certified stamp on it?

As I wrote before that is not the correct affidavit. The is affirmation of permit to marry affidavit that is required to register a new marriage certificate. This is the blank affidavit you will need to complete. https://th.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/90/blank-affidavit-bangkok-january-2019.pdf

You will have to state your US issued marriage certificate is true, correct and valid.

There is a translation service on the 2nd floor in the same building as the MFA.

 

You should also check that the Amphur where you intend to register your overseas marriage, if they also want a US Embassy certified copy of your Passport, translated and also legalised by the MFA.

Some do, some don't.

So to certified copy of my passport, do I need another affidavit for it?  Now it became so confuse!  Or just make a copy of my passport and give the copy to US embassy to stamp on it?

Afaik the rules for extensions are set by the immigration police chief and he could change them if he wants to. Thus he has the power to for example simply scrap the "one per entry" limit of 30 day extensions while the borders are closed. Obviously he didn't do this, we can just speculate about his reasons for this. He waited until the Cabinet ordered him what to do.

I guess now it's the same situation, he just waits for the Cabinet to tell him what to do. The permission of stay of foreigners might not be the cabinet's priority, thus they take their time. Right now immigration most likely doesn't know what the cabinet will decide.

I guess you right because from the news that the Cabinet has problem of their own to shuffle, quite of members etc so foreigners are the last they will think about it.  So just be patient and update the news frequently.

Hi Ubonjoe, this is affidavit from Us website, do I need to add some statement to it? such as “for my marriage certificate is true and correct”. Or I do not need to mention in statement but just fill in the blank and that will serve Amphoe purpose?  
Another question, since I head to US consulate I want to get in the same time to get the letter from US consulate to show to immigration to get 30 day after amnesty, what’s kind of letter?  Do US consulate know about this letter?

Thank you for more information.  Yes, I called Bangluk amphur and she mentioned of US Embassy certified copy of my passport, translated and also legalized by the MFA.  First I was surprised since passport is so common used for Thai or foreigns will have English written for everything so why have to translate to Thai?  
thank you.

Hi, just want to contribute what I search for about do visa at Consulate of thailand in Savannakhet.  Called there this morning and asked about if they issue any visas (tourism, non-0) or not since on consulate website that allows people to register to cross the border but must register with them.  They said that they do not issue any visa right now.

There is a easier way to get your US marriage certificate verified that will be accepted by an Amphoe. You can do a self certification if it by doing a affidavit at the US embassy stating it is a true, correct and valid document. Then having your marriage certificate and the affidavit translated to Thai and then have the translation certified by the Consular Affairs Department. A translation service can do both the translation and then have it certified at the Consular Affairs Department.

Where was you child born at? If the US have you you registered their birth at the embassy or the consulate to get a Thai birth certificate? 

You may find it is equal to or more complicated to apply for an extension based upon being the parent of a Thai as marriage.

Hi Ubonjoe, I think I will go get my marriage certificate to legalize.  So this what was I understand.

1. Get appointment from US consulate in Bangkok.

2. Print out marriage affidavit from US consulate website and fill up 

3. Go to US consulate with Marriage Affidavit and US marriage certificate then notarized by US consulate and pay $50.

4. Take those 2 documents to translate to thai (any translation service advice?) 

5. Certified at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) on 123 Chaengwattana Road, 3rd floor, Bangkok

6. The MFA will return my legalized document (not my original marriage certificate?) to my registered address by ems.

7. Bring those legalized translated documents to Amphoe to get register and ask for Kor ror 22

is this right process?  Do I miss something?  Sorry to be detail so I will not miss things.

Thank you very much.

You should be able to apply for the 60 day extension on or before the 31st if the amnesty is not extended. You do not need any specific type of entry to do it. The one year extension might be a problem since you should have a valid non-o visa entry to do the application.

The letter from the embassy was one requesting you be issued a 30 day extension.

????????????????

I just figure out from reading those cases in the forum (if I am correctly understated) that “ if our visa expired and our last 90 days entered stamp is expired but stay with the amnesty till 31 July, we can not apply for 60 days, retirement or marriage extension due to we are no longer legal.  So only solution now is 30 day border crossing exempt(if there is one!) and then convert the visa to other visa after legally stay,  or get embassy letter to get extension for 30 day (what kind of letter?)  (but US consulate has a sign that they do not do that!) or wait till news from cabinet to extend the amnesty.

You can do a self certification affidavit of your marriage certificate at the US embassy or the consulate in Chiang Mai that will be accepted for legalization. From embassy website

Source: https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/notaries-public/

After doing the affidavit it and your marriage certificate would have to be translated at service that would put their stamp on them.

Then they would have be certified Department of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It would not legalized unless it was certified by the state where you married and then at the Thai embassy or one of the official consulates.

You would get a Kor Ror 22 after you register your foreign marriage at a Amphoe.

You will need your marriage certificate legalized and then translated to Thai and then have it certified by Department of Consular Affairs of the MFA in Bangkok.

Hi Ubonjoe, how I make my marriage certificate legalized?  Isn’t already legalized?  And then use that legalized marriage certificate to translate to Thai (can I translate myself by write on paper or print out from computer since I can write read Thai?) and then make appointment with US consulate to be certified by Department of Consular affairs of MFA in Bangkok.(assume it so in Consulate) and (what is MFA?). ? ????????

Can I just bring my US marriage certificate to any Amphur, pay 30 baht and ask for Kor ror 2?

Yes, please please please ????????

You will have to register your foreign marriage to get a Kor Ror 22 a a Amphoe that immigration requires when applying for an extension of stay based upon marriage.

You apply for a 60 day extension to visit you wife without the Kor Ror 22.

Can you please send me a link that state no need Kor Ror 22 to apply for a 60 day extension to visit my wife.  The one similar to  this one http://bangkokimmigration.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/06-edit_NON-O.pdf.  I went up there but can not find one.  Thank you.

They are correct about needing 15 days remaining on a standard permit to stay form a visa exempt or tourist visa entry or a extension of them. Immigration does not consider the "automatic extension" under the amnesty as a valid permit to stay.

Also you could of applied for the 90 day non immigrant visa (category O) as soon as you had the 400k baht in the bank. It only has to be in the bank on the day you apply. The 2 months requirement is only needed when applying for a one year extension.

The amnesty may be extended beyond July 31st if the border crossings are not open. 

If not you may be able to apply for a special 30 day extension with a letter from your embassy.

Your best option now is to wait it out and then go to a nearby embassy or consulate to a apply for a single entry non-o visa.

"applied for the 90 day non immigrant visa (category O) as soon as you had the 400k baht in the bank. It only has to be in the bank on the day you apply" I can apply for this kind of visa only when my prior visa or prior permit to is still valid only?  Now my visa is expired and I stay in thailand with special extended under the granted time of 31st July so can I still apply for this visa?
