Visa advice for brit marrying a local please?

[Kathryn]

Can anyone advise me on what visa/residency requirements there are for a Brit planning to marry a local in Thailand please? Family locally keep telling me not to worry but a) I'm English and the whole explanation of legal requirements via Anglo/Thai phone calls is still a bit of a problem.

It would be a 'mare to get back thinking I'm getting married and discover I need a document that's still in London! Any help appreciated, thanks.

Welcome to Thailand Expat Forum, Kathryn. You can marry a Thai with just a Tourist visa, if you get a Non-Immigrant visa type "O" before you travel, it can be extended one year at the time. This has been discussed before in this forum:

If you have been divorced you will need copy of decree for registry office.Also could have some fun down at Wireless Rd when/if you apply for a Fiancee Visa...Chok Dee   :cool:
