retoohs Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I've been to the NZ embassy and acquired all the appropriate paperwork and had it officially translated now where near sukhumvit do my wife and I take them to get signed and registered? Do I need to take anything more than the paperwork, passport, passport sized photo and wifes passport and photo? cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 You need to go to a district (ampoe) office. I am not sure if you can go to any office or have to go to the office where she is officially registered as living when in Thailand. You find her address in the blue tabien baan book.

cornishcarlos Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I believe you will need to get your paperwork from the Nz embassy translated, then stamped at the MFA.. After that you can go to your local Amphur and get married officially. Takes about 30mins and cost us 25 baht :) The cheapest part of marriage...

The translation service place went and got them stamped at the MFA, it was part of their service, at a cost of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Most people get married at Bang Rak (near Patpong) for good luck (Love District) and they are set up for foreigners (although normally busy). https://goo.gl/maps/irb8raLsEj72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roquefort Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Amphur at Pra Kanong was good when we did it many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasyFingers Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The Australian Embassy told me that the documents need to be authorized by the Thai Department of Consular Affairs. Do not know if this is the same as the MFA quoted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moti24 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I used the amphoe office in Prakanong; easy to get to: Take the BTS to On-Nut. Walk down Sukhumvit road, away from Bangkok, about 300m. The amphoe office is on the right. Better to take 2 witnesses, as sometimes the staff are too busy. Have a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesetat2013 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The fastest and easiest place to get it legit for the marraige is in Sathorn. Make sure you have 2 witnesses as required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
