KhonKaenLive Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Hello, Wondering about getting an uncontested administrative divorce in Thailand. Would that be recognized in the USA? Was married in the US to a Thai national but now living in Thailand. Maybe there is a thread on this already. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Is the marriage already registered in Thailand? I'd imagine that would be necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 And here ... https://www.thaiembassy.com/family/divorce-in-thailand Quote Can a couple who married outside Thailand get a divorce in Thailand? A couple who got married outside Thailand can get their divorce case filed in Thailand provided they meet with the jurisdiction requirement of Thailand courts. The jurisdiction requirements to file a divorce case in Thailand include the following: At least one spouse must be a residing national of Thailand. There must be a valid ground to register a divorce in Thai courts. However, an administrative divorce can only take place if the couple originally got married in Thailand or one of the spouses is Thai national. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachCH Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I did it twice. Make sure that your wife agree with the divorce . Some money will do the trick. ???????????????? At both Amphurs it was done practically in minutes. (marriage in Thailand) Don't forget, that the person in charge will appreciate a little gift for good, speedy service.

James26 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 So, if you married in two countries, say Thailand and the USA, and got an administrative divorce in Thailand, is the divorce recognized in the USA (or UK, etc)? Do you need to do anything in your country of origin to have the divorce recognized, or to remarry in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schultzlivgthai Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Yes it’s recognized in the states and literally takes 15 minutes at the local government office in your district, and cost about 150 baht. I just went through it ???? as long as both parties agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Party time. Once you get divorced, it is time to celebrate. My divorce was one of the smartest things I ever did, and I celebrated for 2 years afterwards! If it is not working, it is time to move on!
