Marriage in Thailand

[Top man]

Hi guys. 

Please if it's possible, could someone advise me what is needed to get married in Thailand. Heard so many different ways but I know someone on here must know. You're help will be much appreciated.

There is a lot involved, trips to your embassy, translation of documents etc, Google is your friend. There are some well written step by step guides.

Many thanks Peter. Yeah sorry, should of given more information. This is for a friend back here in England. I am already married to a thai but I got married in England, so my knowledge is limited. This guy wants toget married back in Thailand and is going next week but is unsure what records to bring.

Moved to here.

A good starting point is here on the UK embassy website: https://www.gov.uk/marriage-abroad/y/thailand/ceremony_country/partner_local/opposite_sex

The main thing is original, not photo copy, of any divorce/death certificate. To be copied and certified at Consulate.

That's the legal side covered it is quite easy just a lot of paperwork. Is he also having a thai wedding at his girlfriends home???.

Haha.

The answer is no.can't give to much information out, I think you understand, but the love is there not the silliness.

As I now find myself in a situation, I advise getting a pre nup agreement with the spouse. I didn't because I thought we would be together always, but people change.

 

The biggest hassle for me was getting the embassy letter and I believe the UK embassy is a rip off. Certainly was when I got married. The actual legal side in the Thai office is VERY simple and easy.

Not sure what good a pre nup agreement would be in this country because a pre nup is to protect what you have before marriage and in a Thai divorce this is not counted anyway, only what is accrued during a marriage....??? Just my thoughts.

^^ Pre nup in Thailand,

I believe you just each make a list of your personal assets and money, so there is no disagreement in case of a divorce.

I believe that's the best use of a prenup.
