    Getting Married in Thailand
    Legal requirements & Documentation

     
    STEP ONE:
    You and your partner will need to appear in person, with your respective passports and arrival card, at the Indian Embassy in Bangkok to procure the 'Affirmation of Freedom to Marry in Thailand' Certificate.

    STEP TWO:
    You will need to take the Affirmation of Freedom certificate to a trusted translation office to have it translated into Thai.

    STEP THREE:
    You will need to go to the Thai Consular Affairs to submit your affirmation plus translation and photocopy of your passport. You will be given a time when you have to go back to collect your authenticated documents. The wait period could range from 1 to 4 hours.

    Once you get these documents back you have completed the process. Keep everything safely together. You will have to present these documents to the Government office of your choice when you go to register your marriage after the ceremony. Of course, you can register your marriage before the ceremony too.

    SPECIAL NOTE:
    Please allow 4 working days in Bangkok prior to registering your marriage as you are required to be in Thailand for at least three days before you marry and you must allow time for the paperwork to be processed in Bangkok. This also allows you to visit some of the wonderful attractions in Thailand.
     

    Thai Wedding Ceremony
    Customs & Traditions

    MAKING MERIT
    In Thai tradition, before any important event like a marriage, a Buddhist will “make merit” to call good things into one’s life. Amongst the numerous ways to “make merit,” is the procedure to release a captive animal or donating money to a temple.

    As part of the actual wedding ceremony, the bride and groom are seated next to each other and are joined by a sacred thread blessed by a monk. The couple hold their hands close together as their most honoured guests use a special shell, usually taken from the sea, to pour water over the uniting pair as they wish the couple well.
