Thai Chi Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hi All, after I marry my tgf in her home town, is there a time limit as to when the marriage has to be registered at the local AMPHUR? At this stageI am not old enough to get a retirement visa, and i do need a marriage visa as such, as i go back to Australia on a regular basis (non-immigration O multiple entry) Eventually I will apply for a marriage visa, but it may be a few years yet. Also, at the wedding, is there any documentation required to get married. Any advice please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 The marriage IS when you register it. Nothing else is a marriage. You can register marriage at any amphur but as a foreigner you will have to have a paper from your embassy outlining your fitness to marry and then have it translated and registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here in Bangkok. This can be done in a day by agencies but will take several days if you do yourself. What you do in the village is between you and her and family and is not a legal wedding and no documents are required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Mist Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 If you use an agency there is a fee, but for mine it's the way to go, all done in one day and no hassles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
