Getting married in Thailand as a Luxembourgish citizen
Prepare the formalities required by your municipality and the embassy before the Thai marriage. Your residence and your partner’s nationality determine the subsequent steps.

YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES
A process tailored to your circumstances as a couple.
Each partner’s nationality, residence and civil status matter. Start with the case that applies to you.
Two Luxembourgish citizens
Confirm each partner’s documents with the consulate. After the marriage, the certificate may be entered directly in the registers of your place of residence, subject to the residence rules.
A Luxembourgish citizen and a non-Thai foreign citizen
The local checklist does not cover this case in detail. Confirm the foreign documents required and the recognition procedure.
IN THE RIGHT ORDER
The steps in your procedure.
Prepare for the publication of marriage notices in Luxembourg
Every Luxembourgish citizen must have their intended marriage published in advance. The responsible municipality depends on their current residence, last residence or place of birth.
Confirm the marital status documents required
Before ordering documents, clarify the procedure between your municipality and the embassy. The two official sources present the supporting documents differently.
Attend the embassy
Attend your appointment in Bangkok and submit the required documents in person.
Prepare the certificate for Thailand
The embassy issues a certificate in English free of charge. Check with the local registration office about its Thai translation and legalisation of both versions by the Thai ministry.
Register the civil marriage
Check the Thai local registration office’s requirements before attending and keep the documents issued to you.
Arrange recognition or registration
For people living or planning to live in Luxembourg, the procedure is handled by the civil registry at their shared place of residence. Present identity documents and the authenticated marriage certificate, with a certified translation if necessary.
POINTS TO CONFIRM
Before setting your timetable.
- Bangkok requires an original certificate of capacity to marry. For countries outside its list, including Thailand, Guichet.lu specifies proof of single status and a certificate of national law (certificat de coutume). Confirm the exact procedure according to your residence before submitting your application.
- Bangkok requires certified translations and consular legalisation for recognition. Also confirm the receiving authority’s requirements.
- Registration by a municipality is limited to residents. For a non-resident Luxembourgish citizen, the subsequent procedure depends in particular on their place of birth. Do not apply a single procedure to every case.
- The local page does not confirm that a consular marriage between two Luxembourgish citizens is available: ask the embassy.
