Marriage
in Thailand by non-Thai couples or Thai National
and foreigner couple is easy to arrange and
can be quickly accomplished. The legal marriage
registration can be done at any district office
in Thailand on any working day between 8am and
3pm.To marry you need passports and proof that
you are single. If you have previously been
married which ended in divorce or death you
need the original certificates. If never been
married you need to show the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs a statutory statement of non-attachment
notarized by your embassy in Bangkok. Your Embassy
may require proof of evidence to this fact. |
|
|
A
statutory statement required by the Thai authorities
will cost 1,000 Thai Baht each (US$25). Your
embassy will normally charge a fee for notarizing
it and the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs
makes a nominal charge for registering it and
issuing a certificate to enable you to legally
marry anywhere in Thailand. A further fee will
be required to have the document officially
translated into Thai. |
|
Special
attention should be made about pre marriage
planning. Assets of the foreigner should be
protected. A prenuptial agreement prepared by
our licensed lawyer is highly recommended. Prenuptial
Agreements should be prepared in both the Thai
and English languages. If, for example, the
foreigner is a US Citizen with assets in USA
and Thailand, the prenuptial agreement should
be prepared in such a manner that it is recognized
and legally binding in both USA and Thailand.
Prenuptial Agreements are less likely to be
contested when prepared and signed well in advance
of the marriage date. |
