ThaiPauly 1,869 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I am just asking because I wonder if it's easier to get a visa to visit a European country if you were a resident in the UK as opposed to apply for one from Thailand. But having re-read your post that might not be what you are applying for it for. I might have got the wrong end of the stick In which case accept my apologies Link to post Share on other sites

Just use an international marriage certificate. However, the marriage had to be registered at the Thai embassy , when we got married.Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to post Share on other sites

I think this part of his post is relevant to your question. 3 minutes ago, Tanoshi said: However, the marriage had to be registered at the Thai embassy , when we got married. He has a Thai marriage certificate which eliminates the need to register the foreign marriage at an Amphoe. Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you had your German marriage certificate legalized by the Thai embassy which is not registering your marriage. Link to post Share on other sites
wobalt 269 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 At that time, we had to send the certificate to the embassy, where the marriage was registered including the name change of my wife. We had to decide to use the Thai name of my wife or my family nameGesendet von iPad mit Thaivisa Connect Link to post Share on other sites

Embassies cannot do name change now so that is one thing that is certainly different. Link to post Share on other sites
