Those living outside of Thailand should contact the Thai Embassy or Consulate in their country of residence to apply for the necessary visa. Then contact their national Embassy in Thailand to ensure that the correct documents are all in order to complete the affirmation of freedom to marry or affidavit on arrival in Thailand.
After arrival in Thailand, get the affirmation of freedom to marry and have it certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Take these documents to a District Office (Khet or Amphur) in order for a marriage certificate to be issued. There is no minimum period for length of stay in Thailand before a marriage can take place, although the steps described will take a few days.
