Kor Ror 22

[anon789561]

hopefully someone may be able to help as i have looked through the forum and am not 100%. i had an email from a friend in the UK and he said he will be coming to retire in thailand later in the year. he will enter on non imm and then extend. he was married in the UK and doesn't have a kor ror 22 which i said he will need to sort out. told him that he will need it legalized by the embassy, translated and certified by the department of consular affairs which i think is right before he takes to an amphoe.

His question back is, which is my question here, can he do any of this whilst he is still in the UK so he only need to go to the amphoe when he arrives in thailand?

His marriage certificate will have to be legalized in the UK.

Info is at the following link from the UK embassy webpage.

I think he will find it best to have the translation done here and then the translation certified by Department of Consular Affairs. It does not take long to get it done and the translation service can get the certification done for a small additional fee.

The foreign marriage certificate can be “legalised” in the UK (Thai embassy).

 

Once legalised he will have to go to the local Amphoe to get the marriage registered.

Thanks UJ. Will send him the link. When he gets here he can just go to any translation service (just any shop/office you see on the street type thing) and they should be able to do the certification as well for a fee?

Most large translation services can do it for a fee.

I quoted what was in the post when I quoted it.

Still wrong since has to be legalized by the UK legalization office before the embassy does it. "Step 1: Contact the Legalisation Office, Milton Keynes, UK and "Step 2: Have the document legalised by the Thai Embassy in London" that is shown in file I posted a link to.

Had a quick look going through the application. pretty straight forward. print off and fill out the form for the thai embassy. get a 10 pound postal order to the thai embassy. go online and fill out the application and pay the 30 pound fee for the fco plus 5.50 for them to send by courier to the thai embassy. send the certificate with the thai application form and the postal order with a self addressed and stamped envelope to the FCO and once done the thai embassy will post it back. bish bash bosh, bobs your uncle

1. The UK marriage certificate must be certified by the FCO, Milton Keynes.

2. The document is legalised by the Thai Embassy.

3. On arrival in Thailand have the legalised marriage certificate translated, then have that legalised by the MFA.

 

Register your marriage at your local Amphur.

Express Translation services will do the translation, get it legalised by the MFA and return to your home address by EMS for a fee of 1,960 baht.

thanks peeps, just emailed him back with simple instructions, forms and links and express translation tip. sorted

I don't know where your friend is considering living in Thailand, but if he arrived on an early enough flight, it's possible to get a taxi to Express Translations services (halfway between Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang), spend an hour at ETS, then go on to DM to catch an internal flight in the afternoon.

No need to pay for overnight hotel stays. Just make sure he doesn't arrive on a Public holiday  

 

I can give you the full address, e-mail and contact number so he can pre arrange it, if you needed.
