A short video from ThaiLawOnline on divorce in Thailand for foreigners and mixed couples. Below the video you will find the key points in writing, common questions and a link to our full guide.

Key points

  • There are two routes: divorce by mutual consent registered at the district office, or a contested divorce decided by the court.
  • Divorce by consent must be in writing and certified by at least two witnesses (Section 1514), and takes effect when it is registered (Section 1515). Both spouses normally attend the district office.
  • A contested divorce needs one of the grounds listed in Article 1516 of the Civil and Commercial Code.
  • Marital property (sin somros) is divided equally between the spouses (Section 1533).
  • The divorce agreement should also settle parental power, child support and any spousal maintenance.

These points summarise the law as set out in our full guide, Le divorce en Thaïlande, which is reviewed regularly. The video gives an overview; the written guide is the up to date reference.

Foire aux questions

Can foreigners divorce in Thailand?

Yes. A marriage registered in Thailand can be ended by mutual consent at a district office, and a Thai court can hear a contested divorce when there is a sufficient connection with Thailand.

How long does an uncontested divorce take?

When both spouses agree and attend the district office with a complete divorce agreement, the registration is usually done the same day.

How much does ThaiLawOnline charge for an uncontested divorce?

9,900 THB, including a consultation, a bilingual divorce agreement and instructions for the district office.
