    Proof of income needed to marry?

    By Anonymous, Created on: 03/01/2008, Last updated on: 01/01/2009

    » Can someone please clarify if you need a proof of income in order to marry in Bangkok in an Amphur Office?

    • Sean Moran commented : [quote="alohaman":z1um4uez]I am an American and have been living in Thailand for 8 months now. I would like to marry a Thai lady but have no idea on what " paper work " I need and if there are any income requirements. Also, how does marriage to a Thai lady effect my Visa status. Finally, can anyone tell me about being able to own a Scooter while on a Tourist Visa Permit in Thailand.[/quote:z1um4uez] Sorry to take so long to read your post, Alohaman. Marriage isn't my forte, so I only just clicked on this thread out of sheer boredom, but I can possibly give some advice on motorcycle matters. I believe that after you and your fiancee are married, you might look at the Non-Immigrant Type O visa, but please check these things out because it's old information from 2005-06 and I'm no expert on visas nor the legalities of marriages. I believe it might still require you to check in with the Immigration office every 90 days, but check the facts which I reckon you can find on the web through the Thai Immigration Dept website. Regarding the moto-sai though, step one is a drivers' license, and I have always managed well enough on my International Driving Permit issued by the RAC automobile association in Australia, even though the Aussie drivers' license is confined to four-wheeled vehicles only. I can't legally ride a bike on Australian roads, but the permit has always sufficed in Thailand. I've also been riding motorcycles since the age of 5 so I'm fairly qualified to ride a bike; it's just that I've never bothered to get the local administrivia paid for, but the International Permit is generally good enough if you're polite when you get pulled over by the boys in brown. Don't make trouble and hopefully you won't get any back. Buying bikes is no problem if you have the money. That's why God invented capitalism. Getting the bike transferred into your name on a tourist visa might be a hassle though. I've bought two bikes all up, and made sure to always carry copies of the receipts and details from the shop in my wallet wherever I ride. There has never been any question of my rightful ownership of the bike I'm riding when I've been pulled over for any of the usual checkpoints. Selling the bike afterwards might be a little more interesting. In the first case, the bike ended up in the police holding yard in good rideable order after I hit a Toyota and needed my brain renovated in the hospital. I got medivacced back to Australia and the bike stayed in that yard for two months, until I contacted my best mate in LoS, who happened to be an ex-cop himself, but didn't own a motor vehicle at the time, and he got it out of the yard for around 2,000 baht. It only cost me 6,500 to start with, and after having had to pay for the damage my body had done to the car's bonnet, (Am Eng: hood) the bike was his. It hopefully still is. The second bike I bought from a shop, and had problems completing the transfer, (probably due to the tourist visa second-class citizen issue) but I had the bike serviced at that same shop around four times over the four months I rode it around, and sold it back to that same shop for 66% of what I paid for it, and they paid me cash too. It's possible to do it on a tourist visa, if you don't get obnoxious about things, and if you can accept that you're probably going to end up selling it for substantially less than what you paid. The alternative of hiring a bike or car is to not get a brass razoo back though, so bearing that in mind, head down to your local mo-sai shop with 15,000- 20,000 baht in your sky rocket and you should have no problems, hopefully. Please let me know more about the motorbike part because I've got a bit of knowledge on Thai bikes, and might be able to help further with specifics on the type of bike itself. If you got the money, they'll happily sell you a bike, but keep on good terms with the shop, and you might have less trouble selling it on a tourist visa. ---ooo--- BTW: I started a thread on Thai motorcycles last Saturday and I added photos of both bikes I've just mentioned: viewtopic.php?f=54&t=613
