Marriage in Thailand (Norwegian version)

In order for a Norwegian citizen to register a marriage with a Thai citizen in Thailand, the Thai authorities request that the Norwegian consulate issues a Marriage Application before the ceremony takes place. To have this Marriage Application issued at the consulate, please use the following checklist:

1. Make sure that you have all of the following ORIGINAL documents:

CERTIFICATE OF NO IMPEDIMENT TO MARRIAGE (ATTEST TIL BRUK FOR EKTESKAPSINNGÅELSE ETTER UTENLANDSK RETT).
- This certificate is obtained by contacting the National Registration Office (Folkeregisteret) in the municipality in which you were registered the last time. Please see link: http://www.skatteetaten.no/no/Alt-om/Folkeregistrering/Ekteskap2/ on how to obtain this certificate.
YOUR PASSPORT
THE PASSPORT OF THE PERSON YOU INTEND TO MARRY
INCOME DOCUMENTATION FROM EMPLOYER OR INLAND REVENUE OFFICE (seneste ligningsattest)
NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER OF TWO NORWEGIAN REFERENCES

completed when handing in the documents at the consulate.

mentioned above to the consulate.

The fee for the service will be paid when handing in the documents. Please see the consular service fee site under “Notarialforretninger” at http://www.emb-norway.or.th/Norsk/bistandtilnordmenn/Gebyrer/

stamped documents in approximately 2 working days.
