(not the separation) but the signing... My Wife was able to get 'SCB Bank' to accept a video, of me Signing an Affidavit on video, with my Passport Open and clearly visible at the same time... (and signing a copy of my passport) - Original Copies were posted. I'm not saying this will work for you - but this was a solution we found that worked for us while I was overseas.
May 25, 2025May 25 Speak to a lawyer. One foreign lawyer who runs a law firm in Thailand (using Thai lawyers) told me a long time ago that the law requiring you to state that the money belongs to your wife and you won't make any claim on it in future was deemed illegal long ago. I didn't ask for detail at the time but I'd take a guess that its because of clashes with the rules on marital assets (Sin Somros) and assets held before marriage (Sin Suan Tua). Not sure, could be some other reason but he said the rule was illegal although he was aware of some official departments still asking for such declarations.
May 27, 2025May 27 I think you can have documents such as this signed and notarized at a Thai consulate for a fee. My wife is having three documents signed that her lawyer emailed her to sign for a fee of $15 per signature page at the Thai consulate in Washington DC. The consulate will stamp the documents. I don't know how my wife intends to submit the signed and stamped documents yet.

May 29, 2025May 29 Is it really her money or is it yours? If it is hers, you can probably go to a Thai consulate near you in your country and sign it right there and then in front of them. If it is your money, then I wouldn't sign it because you'll never see that money again, since you've signed a waiver.

If you're separated, why do you want to help her?
