Paperwork Required
|
The
marriage must be registered at the Amphur (district) registrar's office, in
the Amphur where the marriage is performed.
We arrange this for you with the resort and the Local Amphur officer will
come to the hotel to register the marriage.
In addition to the normal requirements each citizen to the marriage must
provide their passport, and complete the following processes and documents:
Statutory declaration
All foreign nationalities married in Thailand must complete a pre-printed,
pro forma, statutory declaration and have it witnessed by their respective
embassies in Bangkok. This is a Thai government requirement, that it only be
done at the Respective Embassies in Bangkok and not in your home country. If
the wedding couple has one Australian citizen and a citizen of another
nationality, you will need to visit your own respective embassies, which
will have different procedures. Once you advise us of your citizenship we
will advise the correct procedure.
Death/Divorce Certificates
If previously married, an original divorce or death certificate to
demonstrate you are no longer married must be provided. Certified copies of
these original documents must be obtained from the Embassy in Bangkok.
Translation
You must have the statutory declaration/s and any applicable divorce/death
certificates translated into Thai at a private translation agency.
Certification by Thai department of Consular Affairs.
After the documents have been translated they must be authenticated by Thai
authorities.
To enable an easier facilitation of these processes, Global Weddings has a
representative, resident in Bangkok, who will be able to arrange this for
you at minimal cost as outlined as follows:
Procedure with Global Weddings Representative.
You will be collected from your hotel by our Global Weddings staff at approx

your documents to be translated and authenticated and deliver them back to
your hotel that evening or if you require additional documentation the next

If only one of you is an Australian Citizen and the other a different

and authenticated you will require 2 - 3 working days for these documents to
be completed.
