Marriage Registration in Thailand (CANADA-THAI)

Canadian citizens can get married in Thailand holding any type of valid visa, including a tourist visa. They can also apply for the “Document of Solemnity” at the Canadian Embassy in Thailand. This document proves that the Canadian citizen is free to marry. The processing time takes 5 working days.

Required documents:

Canadian Nationality:

  • Original passport
  • Original divorce certificate (if you have been divorced)
  • Document of Solemnity (to prove you are free to marry)

Thai Nationality:

  • Original Thai ID card
  • Original house registration
  • Original divorce certificate (if you have been divorced)
  • Original birth certificate of the child (if you have a child with the Canadian you are going to marry)

5 Steps For Marriage Registration

Step 1: Book an appointment at the Canadian Embassy

  • Scan your passport and send to us by email or LINE @visathai
  • We will inform you of all the details needed

Step 2: Apply for the Document of Solemnity

  • Meet you at the Canadian Embassy on the appointment date
  • Re-check all documents and the “Document of Solemnity” form
  • Applying for the Document of Solemnity at the embassy takes around 2 hours

Step 3: Translate all embassy-issued documents into Thai language

  • The notarized Document of Solemnity is translated into Thai by a certified translation service provided by VisaThai.

Step 4: All documents certified at the Ministry of Foreigner Affairs

  • We will submit the notarized Document of Solemnity and Thai translations to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on your behalf.

Step 5: Register the Marriage

  • We will pick you up or meet you at the district office (Amphur) in Bangkok to have the marriage registered. We also prepare the interpreter and witness for district office. After the marriage registration is complete we send you back with a small gift from us.

Important information

If you have plans to use the marriage certificate as a legal document in other countries, it is best to have it translated into English or your own language and notarized at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs or at the Embassy.

The Canadian Embassy is not authorized to provide or recommend translation services, but there are various translation services outside. Canadian nationals who are married to Thai nationals do not automatically acquire Thai citizenship or Thai residency.

Foreigners married to Thais still need to apply for a visa at Immigration and renew the visa every year. For more information, visit the Marriage Visa section of our website here.
