French Embassy and marriage visa... 2 months delay for what?

[nikkoid66]

I was in the process to get married with my gf and after I fixed the 400,000 baht requirement, and everything else, I bump on the French Embassy and their requirement to authorize me to get married in Thailand.

First why I need to ask permission? Am I not supposed to take this decision with my future spouse and big brother should stay out of my personal affair?

Then, they ask a lot of documents, where I live in France, my taxes etc... well is this related to marriage? In my case I am 10 years out of France and do not do any business in France, so how I can answer to these questions?

I thought it was just a matter to check if I am married already which I am not and can be verified very easily!?

Finally, they ask 2 month delay minimum (but can be whatever more!)... then where I will stay and with which Visa if they take all this time?

This is totally awful, does anyone here went to this process and is there a way to expedite it?

Here is the sh*t for the ones who can read French: http://www.ambafrance-th.org/IMG/pdf/mariage_2013.pdf?4243/49f8e02127039f81b87b69c622987ac516419e94

Its normal dude . If u want marry with Thai lady . Its Thailand ask to show ur income .not France embassy & u need show paper ur not married its take abt 5 week . They will show some paper in town city wre u live in France for 3 or 4 week ur going married .example if someone sont allow u get married he have to prouve it .example ur in divorce or something like that . Translate paper & get paper ur single take easy 6 week

But for income its Thai immigration ask its normal . Problem as u said u was not in France if u was in some country did u get some paper salary so normally they can accept .if not u should ask them example l m rich Lol .

Before u married make contract .if u have already condo car ex .u have to do paper everything u have before u married then when u divorce if u married in Thai . She can take only half wat u buy when u was married

I just call the Embassy, have to wait mid October to just get an appointment to start the process, this not includes +2 months to get the papers done, so 4 months minimum just to get the certificate... <deleted>?

Do you suggest I move to Cambodia with my girlfriend? I went to Penang already, nice place, 2 hours from here.

But I really want to stay in Thailand

Je parle en Anglais car la regle sur ce forum est de poster en Anglais, sinon ils effaceront le thread.

Thats totally unfair, germans as well are bullied by their own government. Need tons of papers of the thai girl which is non of their business.... I hate may country...

British guys just swear something like an oath at the embassy and get the damned paper showing that they are single...

[pistachios]

This is a complete putain de nightmare, especially if you don't live in BKK.

Me too, I just want the bloody paper saying I'm not married. The process to get it is 10 times longer, more expensive and more complicated than to get actually married.

Most idiotic thing is that they need a freshly printed birth certificate to start the process. But you also need to give one to pick up this affirmation to marry. By the time it is ready, the birth certificate has expired and you need to get an new one! How can a birth certificate become expired????? 3 months and 3 trips to bkk, two with the future wife, a pile of useless documents, just to get a stupid piece of paper saying I am single, how retarded is that? Just give me my paper already and mind your f business you bunch of useless retards.
