We therefore requested this document and submitted it to the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign Affairs for legalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then prepared the legalisation application form, copies of the relevant documents and a copy of the passport. Together with the international marriage certificate, these documents were presented to the Thai Embassy in Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the embassy staff expressed concerns about legalising documents that had not yet been translated into Thai. They explained that the Thai authorities in Thailand might question the procedure if the documents were legalised in Brussels without an accompanying Thai translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than risk difficulties later in the process, we decided to follow the recommended official procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We contacted a sworn translator who took charge of the next steps, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Translation of the documents into Thai.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legalisation by the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legalisation by the Royal Thai Embassy in Brussels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once these steps are completed, we can take the documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thailand for the necessary legalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final step will be to register our Luxembourg marriage with the local Amphur (district office) in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the process turned out to be more complicated than expected, we prefer to take the necessary time and follow the correct procedure rather than risk problems with the recognition of our marriage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This page describes our personal experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Requirements can vary depending on nationality, residence, civil status and individual circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Procedures and document requirements can also change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always verify the current requirements with the competent official authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recognising Our Luxembourg Marriage in Thailand Our Experience with the Legalisation Process The procedure did not work exactly as we had initially imagined.
