Lite Beer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Not difficult. He needs to get an Affirmation To Marry document from his Embassy. Get it officially translated to Thai and verified at the MFA Office in Bangkok. He can then register the marriage at an amphur. The actual registration does not cost a lot. I think I got that correct, it has been a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 about 20 baht is the usual fee, for the certificate. Don't forget to ask for a copy of the entry into the marriage register (khor rhor 2), next to the official wedding certificate. It is needed for an extension of stay based on marriage.

TacoBoy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Is the Embassy certificate still required if the foreigner has never been married before ? I know I needed it because I was divorced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes. Always required for a foreigner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalhort Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes everything said above is correct. But I think some Immigration offices require photos of the actual weeding ceremony particularly for first time renewal of permit to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Marriage is a civil registration. Many of use don't take photos at the District Office or have party. So if requested they will accept something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
