Peter Denis 6,272 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 It would be wise to check with your local Amphoe what documents they require in order to have you legally married there (can be done on the spot when you meet all the requirements). Like IOs the requirements can differ from amphoe to amphoe, but an affirmation of Permit to Marry is a fixed requirement. If your local amphoe is making things difficult by asking additional hard-to-get documentation, you can simply enquire and apply at a different one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Saltire 1,219 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Got my Freedom to Marry and Residence Certificate from the UK embassy on a Monday, gave docs to a marriage agent same day for MFA translations etc, got married in a random (chosen by the agent) amphur in central Bangkok on the Thursday. Figured as we'd have to go to Bangkok anyway would just get it all done 1 trip. No problems. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway marriage and divorce can be done at any amphur, not necessarily the one you got married. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know, or particularly like Bangkpk, and never used any agents before but decided on the easy option. The idea of taxiing around BKK and manoevering public office put me off. Yea I am aware about the marriage/divorce at any office but some just don't do, or make it easy for foreigners. 3 couples got divorced at the desk next to us in the same time it took to marry us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
