Getting Married In Thailand
A legal marriage in Thailand consists of both parties registering their marriage in person with the local Thai Amphur (Civil Registry Office). The United States does recognize the validity of such a marriage. For American citizens marrying either Thai citizens or another American citizen, the procedure is the same. For Americans marrying a third-country national, their prospective spouse must also follow a similar procedure with their own embassy.
Procedure
1. Complete an affidavit at the American Embassy. The affidavit form, available upon request, includes all of the information required by relevant Thai law. The form must be completed and notarized at the Embassy.
2. Have the notarized affidavit translated.
3. Take the affidavit and translation to:
Legalization Division
Department of Consular Affairs
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
3rd Floor, 123 Chaeng Wattana Road
Tung Song Hong, Laksi District, Bangkok
Tel:(02) 575-1057-8, Fax:(02) 575-1054
4. Take the affidavit and supporting documents to a local Amphur and register yourselves as married. The Amphur will also require the following documents:
• Your American passport
• If one party is Thai, the Thai citizen's identification card
• If either party is under the age of twenty, written permission from the parents (with Thai translation);
• If either you or your fiance have been previously married the Amphur will want to see proof that prior marriages have been terminated; either divorce or death certificates. These documents, if available, should be translated into Thai prior to presentation at the Amphur.
BONUS : Gifts For The Newly Married Couple
When you receive a wedding invitation, your first thought is often what to give as a wedding gift. In order to give a gift that the new couple will like, you have to consider some factors about this couple. Since the trend in modern times seems to be that most couples live together, they probably have all the household items that they need. Another trend of modern couples is to register with a wedding registry where they list all the things that they would like to have as wedding gifts. Many guests find that the prices of these items are more than they are prepared to pay and shy away from this method of gift-giving.
Some couples live far away and come back home to get married. The best wedding gift to give in this situation would be money. If you give large gifts, there is every chance that the couple will have difficulty getting all gifts back with them. They may have to purchase extra luggage or pay for extra weight in order to take the gifts back to their permanent residence.
When you do buy appliances, try to buy something unusual. My son was married last year and the list of wedding gifts included 5 coffee percolators, 3 toasters, and 4 irons. The thing that was funny is that neither he nor his wife drink coffee. Luckily, they were able to exchange the appliances at stores for things they did need, even though they had registered with Bed Bath and Beyond.
Money in a card expressing best wishes is always welcomed. The money you give can help to pay the wedding expenses, allow the couple to take a honeymoon or even help them make a down payment on a house. No matter what they use the money for, they will get enjoyment from it.
