Marriage To Cambodian National

[phuketrichard]

Dont know here to search for this soooo

I am on a retirement extension and have been for years. I want to bring my Cambodia GF over and then get married and then can i add her to my extension so she can stay?

Would a visit to the local ampur for the marriage papers be sufficient for this? I live in Phuket

Any and all help is appreciated.

You both would have to visit your embassies to obtain paperwork allowing marriage. They you would visit District Officer to register marriage. After that she could take copy of your passport and the marriage certificate to a Consulate to obtain a single entry non immigrant visa. Then an extension of stay could be done by Immigration.

Thanks.

do u know if she is here on a tourist visa and we did the embassy thing and got married would they convert thta to a non o or would we need go to Penang?

Does anyone know if the Cambodian embassy in Bangkok would issue the paper work or tell us to go to Phnom Penh?

[lopburi3]

There is a provision that should allow it but believe others have been told no. I would ask at Immigration officer first (it will cost 2,000 baht if they do).

To marry a Cambodian Woman is NOT so easy.

Cambodian gvt forbade any marriage during nearly one year in 2008.

Now it's possible but before to begin the process you need an agreement from the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cambodian Ministry of Interior. BUT to obtain that, you need first to obtain a certificate from the Embassy of your country in Phnom Penh.

When you have all of that, you can marry in the district of your wife in Cambodia.

Then you can validate this marriage to your Embassy in Phnom Penh.

Cambodian Embassy in Bangkok will not be able to help you in any way.

All these troubles because, a few years ago, Taiwanese and Korean men organized fake marriages with Khmer girls.

I have the official regulations (decree) in Khmer and French. If you want them, send me a message because I'm not sure we can attach something in the forums.

[geovalin]

For the whole process, expect one year.

I saw the attachment editor below but it's laborious. I upload a couple of documents. Not all.

I suggest you use the Google translation in English or give me an email address to allow me to send you the attachments.

i have been doing lots of research and it seems that a Cambodian CANNOT obtain permission to marry here in Thailand, the Cambodian embassy will not help or issue any paper. Although it is not easy to do in Cambodian it is only like 4-6 weeks and not cheap.

Now i have been told that when a Cambodina receives a TOURIST visa in PP it is only good for 30 days not 60.

So does anyone know 100% ( please no,... i heard from someone that heard...) can that be extended in Thailand another 30 and can she then travel to Malyasia ( either pennag or Kota Bahru and obtain another tourist visa and how long thta one would be good for.

Thanks
