Marriage Registration Service

Thailand Marriage Visa

Registering a marriage in Thailand as foreign nationals or between a foreign national and a Thai national involves several steps and specific documentation. TVS Visa Services offers a marriage registration service in Thailand. Here's a guide to the process and how we can assist you:


1. Understand the Legal Requirements

  • Eligibility: Both parties must be at least 17 years old. If one or both parties are under 20 years old, parental consent is required.
  • Status: Both parties must be free to marry.

2. Required Documents for Foreign Nationals

  • Affirmation of Freedom to Marry: A statement from the foreigner’s embassy in Thailand confirming they are legally free to marry. This document must be translated into Thai and legalized by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
  • Passport
  • Visa
  • Thai National ID and House Registration: For the Thai national, a copy of their ID card and house registration is required.
  • Divorce or Death Certificates: If either party was previously married or their previous partner has passed away, a divorce or death certificate must be provided.

3. Marriage Registration Process

  • Affirmation of Freedom to Marry: TVS will assist you to obtain this document from your embassy and ensuring it is correctly translated and legalized.
  • Prepare the Documents: We will  help you to gather all required documents and ensure they are complete and correctly translated.
  • Submit to the District Office (Amphur): We will accompany you to the local district office (Amphur) to submit your documents.
  • Witnesses: You need to have witnesses for the registration. Most district offices require at least two.
  • Register the Marriage: The registration is usually completed on the same day. The district office will issue a Thai marriage certificate.

4. Post Marriage Legalization

  • Translation of Marriage Certificate: If you need the marriage certificate for use outside Thailand, it must be translated into English and legalized by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
  • Embassy Notification: Some countries require that the marriage be registered with the foreigner’s home country. TVS Visa Services will help you fulfill this requirement if needed.

5. Additional Services 

  • Document Preparation and Translation: Prepare and translate all necessary documents, ensuring they meet the legal requirements.
  • Accompaniment to Embassies and Amphurs: Provide support by accompanying you to embassies and local district offices and help you navigate the process.
  • Legal Advice and Consultation: Offer consultation services to explain the legal implications of marriage in Thailand, particularly concerning property, inheritance, and visas.
  • Post-Marriage Services: TVS can help with name changes, visa adjustments, or other legal matters following your marriage.

6. Important Considerations

  • Embassy Appointments: Some embassies require appointments for the Affirmation of Freedom to Marry. Booking in advance may be required.
  • The entire process, including obtaining the Affirmation of Freedom to Marry and registering the marriage, can take a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the embassy and district office processing times.
