    By Danny Boy - February 6, 2017

    Getting Married? Marriage information update supported by Express Visa Direct. For all your visa and legal needs you can visit their website by CLICKING HERE

    Getting Married is one of the most important events in a person’s life. It celebrates love and leaves a priceless memory to cherish for a lifetime. It shall come as no surprise that couples choose to get married in Thailand for it offers the perfect setting for this monumental occasion, no matter what the couple’s preference may be, from serene beaches to rustic mountains, Thailand’s rich culture and heritage and amazing scenery definitely makes for the perfect wedding location.

    Like any other special occasion, marriage takes a lot of preparation. If you are planning to get married in Thailand, you need to be familiarized with several processes and legalities it entails. Securing legal assistance from a local attorney is the best way to ensure that your marriage carries weight in Thailand and abroad, and guarantee compliance to Thai legal parameters. This may sound tedious at first, but rest assured that you’ve done much of the legwork. After all, you’ve already found love – that’s supposed to be the hardest part.

    How to Get Married Legally in Thailand:

    STEP 1: FULFILL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
    Requirements:

    Either of them should not be less than 17 years of age or should be in marriageable age in accordance to the law enforced from your home country. The Court may, in case of having appropriate reason, allow them to marry before attaining such age.
    Either of them should not be an insane person or adjudged incompetent.
    Both of them should not be in blood relations in the direct ascendant or descendant line, or brother or sister of full or half blood i.e. should no be with in the prohibited degrees of relationship.
    Both of them should not have the same adoptive parents.
    Either of them should not have a spouse at the time of marriage. If woman whose husband died or whose marriage has become terminated, the marriage can only take place after expiry of 310 days from such death or termination of marriage, but before such period if:
    A child has been born during such period;
    The divorced couple remarry;
    There is a certificate issued by a qualified doctor who is a lawful physical practitioner in medicine showing that the woman is not pregnant;
    There is an order of the Court allowing the woman to marry

    STEP 2: PREPARE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
    Requirements for Thai Nationals:

    Identification Cards of both parties
    The House Registration Certificates of both parties
    Person filing has previously registered marriage – If divorced, proof of divorce must be shown; in the event of spousal death (the applicant is a widow or widower) proof must accompany application
    Accompaniment by witnesses
    Requirements for Foreigners:

    A copy of their passport along with arrival card
    Affidavit regarding the marital status of the person from the respective embassy
    Translated copy of affidavits to Thai certified by an approved Foreign Ministry Translator

    STEP 3: HAVE YOUR MARRIAGE REGISTERED

    A marriage can take place on declaration made by both the parties intending to marry by giving consent to take each other as husband and wife publicly before the registrar in order to have it recorded by the Registrar. Giving consent to the marriage may be made by:

    Affixing the signature of the person giving consent in the Register at the time of registration of the marriage;
    A consent document stating the names of the parties to the marriage and signed by the person giving consent;
    Verbal declaration before at least two witnesses in case of necessity. The consent having been given cannot be revoked

    An application for registration for marriage can be filed at any District Office or Minor District Office nationwide regardless of the birthplace of the couple. If the marriage registration is filed at the District Office located in female’s birthplace (where the name is registered on the House Registration Certificate), the title used with the forename and the last name of the female will be changed by the District Officer. The female is required to file for a new Identification Card within 60 days. If the marriage is registered elsewhere, the female is required to contact the local District Office to change her name and last name, as well as filing for a new Identification Card. If both parties are unable to file for marriage at any District Office or Minor District Office, the couple can submit a request to the Registrar to register their marriage at any location under the supervision of that District Office. The parties filing for marriage are required to provide transportation for the Registrar. A service fee of 400 Baht is required by the ministry.

    MARRIAGE PROCEDURES FOR FOREIGNERS

    Foreigners who are wishing to marry shall appear in person with their respective passports and arrival card at their Embassy in Thailand to complete declarations attesting that he/ she is single and free to marry in accordance with Thai Law and the registration shall be effected by a Thai Diplomatic or Consular Officer.

    Take the completed declaration to a reputable translation office to have the contents of the declaration translated into Thai.
    The documents together with translation and copies of passports have to be taken to the Legalization Division of Consular Affairs Department, where the Consular Official’s signature will be authenticated. This normally takes 2 days. The documents and translation are then ready for submission to the District Registrar who will register the marriage and issue the marriage certificate in Thai in accordance with and following the procedure led down in Thai Law.

    SPECIAL NOTE

    You should allow four working days in Bangkok prior to registering your marriage as you are required to have been a resident 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 Bangkok.

    Trades descriptions act breached right there... Apart from losing your virginity/creampying a lady, and learning to ride a bike (which could be the same thing), I would put birth and death above it for sure, but not necessarily in that order...

    Bollix he is. He's cutting and pasting from other websites and passing it off as his own work, that's a banning offence on most forums.

    No, he hasn't. I don't think you see what he's doing. He's stealing these articles from other sites around the world and posting them on Pattaya One (under his alter-ego of Danny Boy) and passing them off as his own writing. He's then copying the Pattaya One articles to here. He has not put the link back in to the original author as the original author didn't give him permission to take the article in the first place.

    Snakeyes and Danny Boy are the same person and he's stealing other peoples work and posting it on here and on Pattaya One as his own. Allowing stolen articles to be published in full on here without attribution or permission is playing with fire and never happened when this forum was owned by somebody who knew what happened when you messed about with other peoples copyrights.

    Once something is posted on the net, it's shared and plagiarised all over the Web.
    That's just the way things are nowadays.
    If it's worth protecting then there are measures that can be put in place to make it more difficult.
    The Web is a different place to what it was ten years ago.
    No big deal.
    Maybe you've just got a beef with the poster Bob?

    Did you write that yourself, you thieving bastard? How do you justify stealing the work of writers from all around the world and posting it on PattayaOne as your own work?

    There are. They're called copyright laws. I don't have a beef with the particular poster but I do have a beef with anybody who deletes writers names and puts his own in their place. That's outright theft. TD is hosted in Singapore, isn't it? Copyright violation of this type, more than 5 instances, full text and misattributed is a criminal offence there. So that would be $10,000 x the number of violations plus server confiscation. Or you could take the 5 years in jail.
    No big deal, I'm sure.

    I still remember my mate calling me 2 hrs before the ceremony and telling me " it's still not to late to run you know" if only I listened. I can only pass on that sound advice to the present wealthy dumb and full of cum.
