AI Quick Answer

How does a Thai citizen marry a Sweden national in Thailand?

The Sweden spouse obtains a Certificate of No Impediment (or equivalent affidavit) from the Sweden Embassy in Bangkok, has it translated into Thai and legalized by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then registers the marriage at any Thai amphur with two witnesses. After registration, request the English Kor Ror 3 and re-legalize it via MFA for use in Sweden. Total time: 14-28 days.
