You can get married as soon as you have a decree absolute. No need to wait.

I know of someone who picked up their Decree Absolute on the way to the airport, to fly to Thailand, and got married again just two days later. All totally OK, given that in Thailand, when registering a legal marriage, there is no need to give any prior notice .... you just turn up at the Amphur (Register Office).

John - did u ever see that Louis Theroux Weird Weekends prog about marriage agencies in Bangkok, some weird guys in that industry....

The Agency owner on his fourth Thai bride, and Lake Palmer (yes - that was his name!) with anger management problems married on day one......

I think I was looking for a replacement gf, I might make my choice based on food this time, Russian not good unless you like cabbage......

Wanderer, sorry if I gave the impression that he only knew his Thai bride for only a day or two. That was not the case, the couple had known each other for some time, and no agency was involved in their meeting.

But yes, I did see that programme. I think part of the problem stems from the fact that if the couple agree on the divorce, they both go along to the Amphur (Register Office) and register their divorce, in much the same way as they registered their marriage. Yes there is a Court procedure but that only applies where one of the two does not agree to the divorce.

I hope you jest! But thanks for the warning about the cabbages! In fact, if ... heaven forbid .... my marriage did end ..... knowing what I do now about visas ... no way would the person be from outside the EEA! But I do like Hungarian Goulash! Very tasty!
