Common Pitfalls (From Field Experience)

Skipping district-office signature certification before MFA — MFA will reject.
Using a translator not accepted by MFA — translation must be re-done by an approved translator.
Submitting to the destination embassy before MFA legalization — the embassy will bounce it back.

ประเทศปลายทางเป็นภาคี Apostille?: Yes → ปกติ Apostille ขั้นเดียว — แต่ต้องเช็คว่าประเทศต้นทาง (ไทย) เป็นภาคีหรือยัง; No → ต้อง Legalization chain: อำเภอ → MFA → สถานทูตปลายทาง
เอกสารเป็นทะเบียนราษฎร์ (สูติบัตร / ทะเบียนสมรส)?: Yes → ไม่ต้องผ่านอำเภอ — เข้า MFA ได้เลย (ถ้าออกโดยอำเภอเดิม); No → ต้องผ่านหน่วยงานต้นสังกัดก่อน
