FOUR GUIDES
Start with your nationality.
The countries below refer to the citizenship of one of the future spouses, rather than the wedding destination. Your partner may hold the same or a different nationality.
EVERY COUPLE HAS ITS OWN PATH
What are your circumstances?
Two partners of the same nationality
Check the steps for each partner, the residence rules and the marriage arrangements available under your country’s rules.
With a non-Thai foreign partner
Each nationality may require a separate procedure. We help you organise the documents while keeping each procedure clear.
AN OVERVIEW
Before, during and after.
Translation is part of your formalities. We help you understand how the steps fit together.
Before the marriage
Confirm your nationalities and places of residence, consult the district office, gather the documents and complete the relevant consular formalities, translations and legalisations.
The civil marriage
Submit the documents to the Thai district office, complete the registration and keep the official documents issued to you.
After the marriage
Arrange translations and legalisation of the marriage documents, followed by registration or recognition in the countries concerned.
MARRIAGE EQUALITY
Your plans belong here too.
Same-sex marriage has been possible in Thailand since 23 January 2025. The documents required must still be checked for each partner and with the chosen district office.
