ubonjoe Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 As far as I know you do not need to do anything. Under international treaties your marriage is recognized in all countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 You don't have to do anything. In reality, in the UK, you are rarely asked for proof of your marriage. (The exceptions being pensions or applying for a passport for a child, etc.) What I would advise is to get your Thai marriage documentation translated into English and legalised at the Ministry of Foreign affairs. You don't need to do this, but it could well be handy in the future, especially if you leave Thailand at some point. For the relatively small cost it is nice to have for peace of mind.
