Marriage in Thailand
After their partner has already been a guest in Germany, many Germans decide to get married in Thailand.
This is certainly also due to the fact that we have finally met the right partner. Another important reason is often not having to go through the complex and time-consuming visa procedure for your girlfriend or boyfriend every time, especially since you have to expect a refusal from the German control bodies every time.
Necessary documents for marriage in Thailand
Germans need various original documents from Germany
After an initial contact, you will receive detailed information from us as to which documents are involved. Your documents do not need to be translated into Thai.
Your future wife will also need various original documents for marriage in Thailand. In total, there are at least four documents that are required for this. This differs from person to person. You will also receive detailed information on this after an initial contact. The original documents of your future wife must be legalized by the German Embassy and then translated into German.
Since the marriage entered into in Thailand must also be registered in Germany, the Thai documents must be translated into German for the German authorities. If the documents of both bride and groom are correct and complete, the “consular certificate” can be applied for at the German Embassy. Only with this document can a civil marriage be held here in Thailand.
After the civil marriage, the marriage documents must be legalized and translated again by the German Embassy. Once this has been done, we will send you the documents by courier (FedEx) so that you can officially register the marriage at your registry office.
Your bride has to go through a fixed official process, which we will describe to you and your wife in detail and of course also accompany and support you. This process begins with the name change in Tabien Baan at your municipal administration up to the special visa application in multiple versions at the German Embassy. In order to enter Germany, your wife also needs the A1 certificate as proof of basic knowledge of the German language.
If all these documents are available, you can submit the entry application to the German Embassy.
Cultural customs
After the civil marriage, it is of course up to the bridal couple how and where they would like to celebrate their marriage with their relatives. We would be happy to help you with that. However, the local wedding celebration is of great importance for the reputation of the bride. As many guests as possible should be invited and nine monks should not be missing.
The traditional “bride money” to the parents is intended to save the bride’s face, since the value of the bride determines the image of the family in the village community. The amount of this “bride money” depends heavily on the social status of the family. The bride’s education and age also play a role. Not to forget the financial possibilities of the husband. After all, the candidate should not already be in financial difficulties before the marriage. A binding reference figure cannot be given. However, we can give you recommendations.
It is advisable to arrange the financial matters in advance in order to avoid misunderstandings and disappointments on the part of the bride. In general, mixed marriages are exposed to greater stress due to the different cultures. Happiness and unhappiness are often close together. A precise timetable – which is approved by both beforehand – helps to prevent some things that can separate later. A lot of patience and the will to learn your partner’s language are elementary and important.
