Reader question: Getting married in Thailand if you are already legally married in the Netherlands?
Dear readers,
I have a question about getting married in Thailand if you are already legally married to your Thai sweetheart in the Netherlands? My Thai wife and I live in the Netherlands and were legally married here. My question is:
- Do you have to get married again in Thailand (if you want to) or can you have your Dutch marriage registered in Thailand?
- Or can you have your Dutch marriage registered at the Thai embassy in The Hague?
Which papers do you need, both in Thailand and in The Hague?
Many thanks for the information.
Regards,
Khun Chai

Success.
You can still get married for the family and that involves paying money to the bride's parents. However, it is not an official marriage. Legally, you can only be married to the same woman once. To get married in Thailand you must have your marriage certificate translated into English and present it to the relevant government.
Search under legalization marriage!
Look at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Thai Embassy for information.
You start in your municipality when applying for your International Marriage Certificate.
Best regards,
Hans
I got married to a Thai woman in the Netherlands, and what you have to do is have your Dutch marriage translated into English and then have it stamped at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then you go to the Thai embassy and then have it stamped as well. stamping.
When you are in Thailand, you and your wife go to the town hall (amphur) and register your marriage (koh roh 22).
And now you are legally married in Thailand. I did this too.
It takes some time to get all those stamps, but once you have them, you can travel to Thailand with a Non immigrant O visa, which you can extend in Thailand after 3 months for 1 year. Under the name extension of visa for marriage… this has some snags, but that is a completely different topic… good luck
You can only legally marry either in the Netherlands or in Thailand.
What you have to do is of course have your registered marriage certificate legalized in English in the Netherlands via the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague, have them have a separate department for and then have it translated into Thai script in Thailand and of course legalized again.
Legalization is after translation into Thai by a licensed Thai translator and legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand in Bangkok.
You can then have the translated and legalized Dutch marriage certificate registered at the Amphur (town hall) in your Thai place of residence.
About 20 years ago I went the opposite way, getting married in Thailand and registering my marriage at the municipality of my place of residence in the Netherlands at the time.

Hi Jan,
You write have it legalized by BZ in The Hague and by BZ in Bangkok. Can the embassy in both the Netherlands and Thailand be skipped in this, or do they also have to do something in this process?
Rudolf I think I can still remember that the legalization department of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs also offered the possibility, of course for an extra fee, to send the documents via diplomatic mail to the Dutch embassy in Bangkok, where they put their stamp, and of course back to The Netherlands.
I've done it once, but for things other than marriage.
Otherwise, you can do it yourself by making an appointment at the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok
But you start with the legalization of your Dutch marriage certificate at the Buza legalization department in The Hague.
And in Thailand you have the Dutch embassy in Bangkok read in English and stamped with the Dutch embassy to translate the marriage certificate issued in Holland into Thai script by a recognized translator, then you go to the Thai Buza in Bangkok.
And with all the paperwork, legalized and readable in Thai, you go to the Amphur where your marriage is registered.
Don't forget your passport.
So contact Buza in The Hague.
With the question of whether the Thai embassy should also issue stamps, I dare not say with certainty in your case.
With me when marriage registration from Thailand to the Netherlands no Thai embassy needed.
Well, of course to my municipality dept.
Jan Beute.
