Hi Guys and Gals,

First I need to say that I have read cdr94001's post here

on the same subject. My wife has a two year green card also and we are

planning to visit her parents in Thailand in April. She has a valid Thai

passport, but it still has her maiden name on it and of-course her green card

has her married name on it. We never changed her passport.

Will we have a problem entering back into the U.S.of A.? Should I bring our marriage

license with us also? Will that suffice? Or do I need to do anything

else?

Thanks a million,

It won't be a problem. Maybe when in Thailand, she could get a new passport in which case you probably need to have a certified copy of the marriage license.

And in case you don't get the passport updated, do bring your marriage license with you. That's what you will need to show as evidence of the name changed.

If she decides to change the passport, bring the old one with her as well. Normally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will attach both passports together. The old passport might contain information regarding visa approval and the visa to the US itself. Since both of you got married in the United States, bring original copy with both of you. That will be an evidence to the point of entry.

The Thai government has new kind of e-passport or something like that. You need to ensure that both passports are attached together with the new one.
