It is illegal for a thai woman to remarry within 9 months of a divorce without a medical examination. The officier should be aware of this

Actually I had never given this a thought before but it is a pretty stupid law.
If she is pregnant by her new husband then she cannot divorce her old husband. Would be better to let the officier use his discretion

I'd ask the Thai Consulate in Hull.

Divorce is even easier if the pair of you agree the settlement.

Done and dusted in under an hour. Only have to go to the Amphur.

Had to go through a bunch of crap. A whole lot of nonsense I tell you!

Then once we were married (legally in Thailand), they wanted me to go to my embassy and get an affidavit showing me as single again so I could get my married VISA. I told them I would not swear I was single on any affidavit becasue I am now married!!!! Then they wanted pics of our Thai party and we did not have a Thai party. They said it was a big problem and we needed to go and have a Thai party and have pics taken.

The rule saiys that they want pics of your house. Make sure you take pics with you in the pics and in every room of your house. Hong nam pics needed with you on the crapper???? They wish!! In one pic I am flipping the camera the bird. When I turned in that pic they did not even notice!!!!

After giving the immigration officer a serious verbal beating, they issued me my 1 year VISA.


Heres to you Thai immigration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

iam happily married and aim to stay that way!!
questions are on the very difficult subject of starting a company/business, seems to be mine field!

I'm currently doing a French divorce (involving a French-Thai couple).

All I can say is: never marry a bloody Frenchman.

Only problem I had was my local amphur were twats and wouldn't do the deed.Told me that I could only getmarried inBKK even though we had the papers.

Went to the next AMphur where they were more than happy to oblige and called up a boss somewhere and told them what happened at my amphur.

Hi guys,ive been told once i get my (affirmation to marry) back i can then leave it with one of the many translators to be translated into thai and they will take it to the Thai foreign affairs building for me then collect it and post it to me in udon for a very reasonable fee,anyone heard of this or had a recent experience,i know money talks in thailand and you can more or less get anything you want but the service offered was very reasonable and not as much running round to do ?anyone got recent info on this ...cheers

Yes, that's the way it's usually done.

Or get one of the touts to do most of it for you.

^ so, I says to the tout: "How much?"

Tout says: "2000 baht. Then you don't have the hassle of going..."

Me says: "Pood len, chaimai??? I can send it via the post office for a couple of hundred baht (so the missus says, but not sure if this is actually correct info...).

The touts can do the translation of the embassy document and take it to Changwattana, then return it to you done (them; the original and the translation); normal cost is 200 baht for next day or 400 baht for same day - say 200 baht each way for the taxis, total cost: translation 350, taxi, 400, same day service 400, total 1150. You save 850 which is worth saving, imho - then again I have friends in Laksi, so I visit them while I'm there...
