Tywais Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 There are those who seem to think there is a one year waiting period in Thailand after one receives a Thai divorce before one can marry again.Any information on this? Thanks in advance Yes there is a one year wait. I'm speaking from personal experience whereas my wife (now) and I went to the ampur and she showed her divorce decree which was finalized only two months before having separated for 3 years prior to this. They (ampur) showed the regulation that you have to wait 360 days (one poster said 310 quoting from a legal statute and may be the correct number of days - it was 10 years ago when I was told this so may not have the exact number of days correct).

mrbojangles Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 If you get a certificate from a doctor showing she IS NOT pregnant, you DON'T have to wait the one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaoPo LaoPo, I'm searching for the logic here.......... and can only assume they don't want the wife to have a surprise waiting in the oven for the new husband. It truely is TIT.

geoffphuket Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 There are those who seem to think there is a one year waiting period in Thailand after one receives a Thai divorce before one can marry again.Any information on this? Thanks in advance I divorced my Thai wife two months ago and completed the necessary paperwork at the Uk Embassy in Bangkok to marry my Thai partner of three years.

Dragonman Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 There are those who seem to think there is a one year waiting period in Thailand after one receives a Thai divorce before one can marry again.Any information on this? Thanks in advance I posted the answer to this a short time ago! Why is it only tywais who's reading my posts? But since I've got nothing better to do today( in fact every day) I'll quote the law again. Chapter 11, Section 1453 of the Civil And Commercial Code states:- A thai woman cannot re-marry within 310 days of divorce unless (3) " there is a certificate issued by a qualified doctor who is a lawful physical practitioner showing that the woman is not pregnant" Note nothing for a man, as little chance of pregnancy.
