I married my Issan Wife in the UK a few years back, My question is that if i were to move to Thailand to work etc would our UK marriage certificate be recognised as a valid document by the relevant Thai authorities for visa purposes ?

???

Yes a Uk marriage certificate is valid anywhere in the world but my reccommendation is to get it validated before you go:

I believe a solicitor has the power to sign and then put an officaill company stamp on it.  Check out the facts from your local consulate nearest to you.

:cool:

You will also probably need to get it translated into Thai - at an official translator's - when in Thailand. You will be asked for it when you extend you visa (assuming you are getting a 'look afetr wifey' visa).
