The standard processing time for a visa application could be take approximately five to six weeks. Should the visa application(s) be referred to Ireland, it may take an additional three week to process. Please ensure that everything is in order and all documentation is submitted in full.

If visiting another EU member state prior to Ireland, the relevant for that country should be obtained before a visa for Ireland can be issued.

1. Make an affidavit to marry at the Honorary Consulate of Ireland
   
   You should prepare the affidavit yourself in typewritten form on one page and bring it to the Consulate to sign under oath before the Irish Consul.
   A sample is attached for guidance.


2. You will also be required to complete an MP1 questionnaire form.
   Our hours of opening are 8.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. Monday to Friday excluding public holidays.
   
   We charge Baht 1,160 per declaration and we can provide this service to Irish nationals only.
   
   Please bring with you to the Consulate your passport and long form birth certificate as proof of identity, and evidence that any previous marriages have been terminated (death certificate or divorce certificate(s) as appropriate) together with a copy of your intended spouses passport or birth certificate with certified true copy of English translation. ORIGINALS ARE REQUIRED; copies will not be accepted under any circumstances.
   
   The affidavit must be completed not earlier than 12 weeks and not later than 4 weeks, before the date of marriage.


3. Have the affidavit translated into Thai
   
   Once the affidavit has been signed, you will need to have it translated into Thai.
   
   Please note that The Consulate does not undertake the preparation or translation of documents. 



4. Have the affidavit authenticated and translation certified.
   
   All Thai Registrars will require authentication of the Irish Consul's signature and certification of the Thai translation. This must be obtained from:
   
   The Legalisation and Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
   123 Chaeng Wattana Road , Laksi District, Bangkok 11120
   Tel. 02-575-1056 - 59, 981-7171

5. Submit the document to the Registrar
   The affirmation and translation are then ready for submission to the registrar, who, if satisfied, will register the marriage and issue a Thai marriage certificate.
   
   The Irish Consulate in Bangkok is not authorised to perform marriages.

Marriage in Thailand should be performed according to Thai law and any detailed questions on the procedure should be addressed to the appropriate Thai authorities

A religious ceremony on its own is not sufficient.

The documentation to be produced is at the discretion of each individual Registrar. Most Registrars will be satisfied with an affirmation of freedom to marry.

The marriage will only be recognised under Irish law if it is valid under Thai law. For it to be valid in Thai law, the marriage must be registered with the Registrar at an Amphur Office (District Office). A list of some Amphur offices in Bangkok and upcountry is attached.

The Thai marriage will be in Thai only.
You may wish to commission a "sworn translation" of the marriage certificate from a translation bureau, so that you may use the document for legal purposes in Ireland .

Please note that a foreign national does not automatically acquire Irish nationality through marriage to an Irish national.

If you are marrying a Thai national, he or she will require a visa to visit or settle in Ireland.

NB: THE FEES MAY ALTER WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE
