Many foreigners living in Thailand meet their future spouses here and get married in Thailand. And to deal with potential legal issues in advance, the couples often choose to enter into a prenuptial agreement (often referred to as "prenup").

According to the Thai Civil and Commercial Code ("CCC"), the prenup agreement is valid when it is:

  1. entered in the form of the marriage registry or
  2. prepared by the spouses in writing, separately from the marriage registry, signed by both spouses and at least two witnesses and entered in the marriage register, stating that the prenup agreement is thereto annexed.

And according to the Ministry of the Interior Regulation Regarding Family Registration B.E. 2541, both spouses and two witnesses must sign in the marriage register (Form Kor Ror. 2).
