hi mario,
good to hear from you again,
baby only a few weeks so we'll have to either get married or get the petition ?
are the laws similar to uk when getting married ? what will it cost me if we later get divorced ?
do you know about these benefit payments ? maybe can get from the uk ? maybe my tax code etc will change now in uk but because i'm living here at the moment maybe i can't claim ?
also i have had a look about registerring baby in the uk for uk citizenship instead of doing it here and it costs £165.
are you upto date with how much it costs doing it here ?
i was hoping i could do it for free in uk in my home town but looks like i would have to goto london.

Marriage in Thailand costs nothing, at least not the legal wedding. You simply turn up at the amphur with your wife to be and register there. However, as a foreigner you need to get a letter from your embassy confirming that you are free to marry and some other details. The document you need to provide depends on the requirements of your embassy, check their website for which documents you will need to provide and how much they will charge you for it.
After you have the letter form the embassy you have to have it translated by an translation agency and next certified by the Thai foreign ministry. (Most translation agencies will offer to take care of that part for you). Once you have that you can get married at any amphur in Thailand. About marriage in Thailand: http://www.thailawon...-foreigner-visa About divorcing in Thailand: http://www.thailawon...-under-thai-law If you get married and want extensions of stay from immigration based on your marriage you will need a copy of the entry into the marriage register from the amphur. This costs somewhere bewteen 10 and 50 baht. I believe registration directly in the UK is cheaper than doing it at the embassy. Can't help you with the details about social security and child benefits etc. #128

My child was born on 17 September. I am not married. The hospital put my name on all the paperwork as the father. The baby's mother and I both went to the office where births are registered (not the Amphur) along with the papers that the hospital gave us. I was asked for a copy of my passport and the mother was asked for a copy of her ID card and tabien baan. A birth certificate was issued with my name (translated to Thai) as the father. We were both present. Where do I stand with respect to the original issue raised in this thread? Thanks in advance. Look at the birth certificate: Your name should be on there twice: - as the father - as the person registering the birth If the person listed as registering the birth is not the same as the father, you didn't legitimise the child. #129

NO! That information was incorrect. There is a new topic here: http://www.thaivisa....ts-as-a-father/ |
