DILLIGAD Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Are you talking about a "Freedom to marry" affidavit from the Embassy? If so there are local places near to Wireless Road who can do the deed so it's acceptable for the Ministry of Silly Walks(Foriegn Affairs) in BKK Sorry cannot help with a good lawyer in Sisaket but can tell you about a bad one!!!!

kanderson Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think you need as above, go to British Embassy in Bangkok. I'm American but should be the same. It's been 15 years ago but you just need the form. Translation shouldn't be a problem. I can't think of why you would need a lawyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I had to have my documents translated by an officially recognised translator, list provided by the embassy. They were all in Bangkok and near the Embassy. They sent the stuff back to us by EMS. Keep away from lawyers as much as you can unless you want to make a prenuptial settlement, which you will need to have RELIABLY translated into English. A friend is getting married at the local Amphur soon, they told him he didn't need a 'freedom to marry', his divorce papers were sufficient. Maybe some money went under the table, I don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylarry Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 My wife is a translator and interpreter and I have sent you a pm with her details in case you are interested. HL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlyAnimal Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 As the others have mentioned, you'll need to goto your Embassy in Bangkok to obtain proof that you're legally eligible to marry, and so you should be able to get the documents translated in Bangkok (We took our documents to a small shopping mall not far from my embassy and then picked up the translated document later the same day). Your embassy's website should also have a checklist of documents which you'll require as well as the process which is required for you to get married which might help too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 My wife is a translator and interpreter and I have sent you a pm with her details in case you are interested. HL Not picking on HH but be advised that unless the translator is recognized by the MFA and these documents have to go to them for finalization your wasting your time and money. I know of quite a few individuals that have their documents refused by the MFA for this reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed there are many places near to there. Good services too. The OP should really explain what he need translated as he says "from Thai court to English" Would be interesting to see some links to the suggestions that the MFA and embassies have lists of accredited transaltors. Website only state the "the translations should be certified as true" by the translator. No mention of any accreditation.

swissie Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Frankly, the absence of a timely reply by the OP led me to believe, that "Chippy" has done his homework and discovered, that the fact, that being married to a Thai-Female does not improve his existence as a Farang in any sort of way in Thailand. Exception: Instead of a Bank Deposit of 800'000 for a retirement visa, only 400'000 Bht are required for a marriage visa. Ergo: Little to gain for the Farang but much to gain for the <censured> !
