Marrying in Italy 🇮🇹
Comune (Ufficio dello Stato Civile) · Family Reunification (D-Visa)
Thai citizens preparing for a wedding ceremony in Italy need certified single-status proof, sworn Italian translations, and Hague apostille before flying out.
We hand-walk documents through MFA Chaeng Wattana and every embassy in Bangkok using company couriers, cutting queue time by 60%.
Standard route: obtain Certificate of No Impediment from your district office → translate into Italian via a registrar-listed translator → legalise at MFA → certify at สถานทูตอิตาลีประจำประเทศไทย → courier to your partner in Italy for the Comune (Ufficio dello Stato Civile) appointment. Thai-side timing: 14-22 working days.
Specifics for Italy: Sworn Italian translation (asseverazione) at court. After the ceremony, Certificato di Matrimonio translateและre-register at your Thai district office
Approximately 97-99% of our marriage-overseas dossiers pass the destination registrar on the first review — well above the 70-80% market average.

Document procurement, translation, MFA, and embassy fees usually total THB 12,000-25,000 per couple, exclusive of สถานทูตอิตาลีประจำประเทศไทย attestation (THB 2,200-3,000).
I was previously married — what else is needed?
A certified divorce decree or registration for every prior marriage, translated and legalised on the same chain.

It must be translated into Thai, MFA-legalised, and re-registered at a Thai district office within 90 days. We handle this back-loop.

If documents are rejected, what's the recourse?
If the rejection is on us, we redo the work free of charge and cover the extra government fees.
