Can I marry my Thai girlfriend in Thailand?

Getting Married in Thailand

If you are considering marrying your Thai girlfriend in Thailand, the process is relatively easy and can be done at any district office in any province on a working day between 8AM and 3PM. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Documentation Needed

• Original passports
• Proof of single status (if previously married, original divorce or death certificates)
• Statutory statement of non-attachment notarized by your home embassy in Bangkok (if never been married)

Costs Involved

• Statutory statement required by Thai officials: 1,000 Thai Baht each (US$30)
• Notarization fee by home embassy
• Minor fee by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs for registration and issuing a certificate

Pre-Marriage Planning

It is essential to protect the assets of the foreigner. A Thailand prenuptial agreement, prepared by a licensed Thailand lawyer, is highly recommended. This agreement should be in both Thai and English languages and be legally binding in both countries if assets are in multiple locations.

Legal Assistance

To ensure that your marriage is properly registered and avoid any legal difficulties in the future, it is advisable to seek assistance from a Thailand law firm.
