Marriage Overseas — Thai-Side Document Service

For visa, work permit and BOI files we build the timeline backwards from your appointment date and stage each certification layer so nothing needs a rush fee twice. If the receiving authority rejects a file for a reason attributable to our work, we correct and re-file it at no additional professional fee. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed. Private documents such as powers of attorney or contracts must first pass a notarial services attorney before they can enter the legalisation stage. Caution: each certification covers only what its own stamp states; it does not make a document automatically acceptable everywhere. Confirm the receiving authority's conditions case by case. Request more than one certified set when several authorities are involved, because most receiving offices keep the certified copy and do not return it. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.

We confirm the steps, costs and collection date in writing before starting. Send photos of the documents by LINE or email for a quotation and a written timeline. Before registering a marriage with a foreign national, check whether the destination requires an affirmation of marital status from that national's embassy and how that paper must itself be translated and certified.
