Hi,

I'm a Thai citizen, living in London with my French fiancee. Can you please clarify what document I need to marry and/or legalise the marriage in France? Who should I turn to in terms of getting the Thai document translated etc.? Thank you very much.

I couldn't really find info from anywhere. Thai embassy in London don't deal with this. French embassy in London don't deal with this. Thai embassy in Paris, noone ever never pick up the phone. French embassy in Thailand don't give out numbers. :)

Sawatdee krap!

You have two options to marry your French love, one easy one, one complicated one!

The easy one is to do as I did 25 years ago, in Toronto, with my French wife: get married in London and get your wedding "legalized" at the French Consulate. The right term in French is not "légalisé" but "transcrit sur le registre d’état civil français". This is mandatory to obtain the famous "Livret de Famille" (family book) which will allow you later an easier entry into France, between others.

The difficult one is to get married in France. Ask your wife to be to see "it all" here: http://www.mariage.gouv.fr/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=9 and, evntually, there: http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/F930.xhtml

Hope this helped!
