StevenHeidbriderSr Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 I forgot to put my age of 58 years and that i have burned up most of my current savings buying land and building a house. So 40k plus monthly is now my only option for staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 At the US Embassy you have to swear on oath your income amount and the official signs the document. No proof of income is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 You still have various visa options available for stay so it is not your only option - you even can extend your current stay 60 days by going to an immigration with proof of marriage/your passport/her ID and perhaps home register and using the normal TM.7 form. As for Embassy visit you must have an appointment - that is the key requirement. You then will need your passport and funds to pay for the notary service. You can download and fill out the form or do at ACS unit at Consulate (across street from actual Embassy). You check in at window outside to get queue for security line showing your printed out appointment and passport. Not sure what you need for marriage paperwork but seems you have a US marriage? So you need to have translated and signed off by Embassy and then MFA and then register at a District Office? ACS has an email so would directly contact them with any questions you have regarding Embassy requirements. Check web site for American Embassy Bangkok.

TerryLH Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 ACS also answers their phone and has been helpful to me in the past. Since you apparently live far from BKK, have you checked to see if ACS will be making an outreach visit to a city nearer to you? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 US embassy cannot certify a marriage certificate or any other document. All they can do is make a certified copy. Authentication of Vital Records, Academic, Commercial or Other Credentials Issued in the U.S.U.S. Consular officers are not empowered to authenticate public documents issued in the United States. Such documents include vital records (birth, marriage, death, and divorce), as well as academic, commercial, or other credentials. Consular officers do not have access to the records of the issuing office or the seal of the custodian of these records. For more information on Procedures for Authentication and Legalizing Official Documents Issued in the United States. For more information on Authentication of Documents, Apostilles, or Copies of Birth, Death, Marriage, or Divorce Records, please consult the Department of State Travel site.
