Marriage in Vietnam

Post new topic

IamCharlie

I am a South African, currently living in SA. My fiance is Vietnamese, and my son was born in 2020, and I am expected to be with them sometime this year. We are planning to get married in Vietnam once I arrive. I currently have a notarized proof of marital status from my government in my possession, but it's not translated yet. Do I do that in Vietnam or while I am in SA?

What other documents would I need for my marriage in Vietnam? I am not 100% sure what I need, so any advice or info would be highly appreciated.

The marriage staus document is only valid for 6 months, by the time you get here it might not be valid. Get another one just before you leave.

The documents as per the link. The only document from your home country will be your certificate of non-impediment, to show you arent married already.
