Brutish Embassy Affidavit To Marry

[Karlo]

Has anyone any experience in getting a affidavit for marriage signed and stamped fast track. I have an appointment at the British Embassy at 8:45am and thought you walked out with the affidavit signed and stamped. But it seems they are not that efficient. What is the earliest I could expect to get the signed affidavit as later that afternoon I have a flight at 2pm from Suvarnabhumi airport so would need the signed affidavit for 12pm. Does the embassy provide the service of posting the signed affidavit for a fee or can they fast track it and ensure I get the signed affidavit before 12pm the same day. Or alternatively is there a service provided by reputable companies to collect the affidavit then get it translated and approved by the FCO and then post it to me. Your experiences and thoughts are greatly appreciated

My last option is to cancel my flight with ThaiSmile stay another night in Bangkok and book a flight with ThaiSmile the next afternoon after I get the signed affidavit the next morning as consular collections are 11am - 12pm on the Friday

is this the document to prove that you're single?

I think you need to get it translated and present the translated copy to the Min Of Foreign Affairs who then verify it, this needs to be done to get a marriage certificate at your Ampur........ I'll be doing this soon, does anyone know of a decent (official) Thai translation service in BKK and how much they'll charge?

Update on my affidavit to marry.... I have an appointment booked ar 8.45am and have been told by the British embassy that my affidavit will be stamped and signed at my appointment and I won't need to collect it the next day which is good news. I have been told there are translation services in a mall close to the British embassy, but there also translation services at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs see below taken from other threads on this forum....
