Information on Weddings in Thailand
Guests are recommended to contact their Embassy for further / updated information – please see links at the end of the page Below you will find the steps to follow for having the wedding validated by the Authorities in Thailand and recognised abroad:
Step 1.
Issue the certificate Letter for bride and groom from the respective Embassy of your country in Thailand (in English Language).
Step 2.
The Certificate Letter of bride and groom issued in English language by the embassies, have to be translated into Thai language by any Law office in Bangkok.
Step 3.
The original of the documents from point 1 and 2 must be validated and stamped (on every page) by The Ministry of Foreign Affair in Bangkok.
N.B.:
The valid passports of bride and groom must be shown for steps 1, 2 and 3.
To complete the above, you may plan 3 working days in Bangkok (please take into consideration the Thailand’s Public Holidays). It is strongly recommended to make appointments with the Authorities in order to have the documents issued on time.
Step 4.
Once in Samui, the documents will be given to the Nathon City Hall a few days prior to the wedding (according to check-in date) for issuing the Wedding certificate (in Thai language). The bride and groom have the option to go to the City Hall for signing the official documents, or calling the Authorities to come to the hotel for signing the documents after the wedding ceremony at the hotel. Step number 4 will be taken care by The Siam Residence Deluxe and will be charged additionally 4000 Baht for both options.
Please note that the hotel is not responsible for completing the steps from 1 to 4; the bride and groom are the sole responsible persons for issuing the correct documents.
Steps 1 to 4 are not required if the bride and groom do not need any legal paper for certifying their wedding.
