i already went to the US embassy and got a https://th.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/90/2020-marriage-affidavit-bangkok.pdf

 

signed and stamped already.

 

so i went to the amphur and that wasn't enough of course. so i guess i need that translating and 'legalizing' by the ministry of foreign affairs.

 

so i have my GF call the ministry of foreign affairs and they said i need 2 things translating and certifying but not sure what the second is.

 

any ideas?

 

thx

 

 

Passport

Likely your passport ID page.  Thailand uses the Thai language.

mine was birth certificate. i guess passport page would do though, if 2 others have said that.????

trying to get married

Seek help, masochism is curable

Take your Passport and Affirmation of Freedom to Marry to Chaengwattana Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

 

There you will find ‘translation services’ - they will translate your required documents (it may take an hour or two). 

 

The then have those Translations (of Passport and Affirmation of Freedom to Marry) verified and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

 

Alternatively - if you wish to avoid the journey and the wait, there are are services in the centre of town (Ploernchit - Mahatun Plaza (nr Soi Ruam Rudee)) which will do all the translation and affirmation services for you (they still have to go to the MFA, but it saves you doing it - they will take 3-5 days). 

 

We just gave the docs to a translator at MFA , paid and went home. Everything turned up at home finished a few days later. U then go and sign you papers.

My friend just went through this procedure last week. here in KK. He had all his translated docs but never went to the MFA and needed his Passport translated.

The lady at the Amphor said you need to go to BKK or use the service to have all your docs certified which cost 2900B. 

 

Get a checkup from the neck up.

Must be a true love story !!! ????

when i got married i paid an agent 5k that included the trip to the embassy from pattaya to bangkok and return all the fees. The trip to the offices to get the actual marriage as well as all the forms and translations needed IMO money well spent
