What is included in the fee?

Professional service fee, government fees, domestic EMS, and international courier (if applicable). Everything is itemized in the quote.

Do I have to visit the office?

No — send by EMS, or we can arrange a Bangkok pickup. Final documents can be couriered worldwide.

Will the result be accepted abroad?

Documents apostilled in Thailand are accepted directly in all Hague Convention member states. Non-member states need a further embassy legalization step.

Full chain (certified translation → Notary Public → MFA Consular Affairs → destination embassy) typically clears in 7–14 business days. Rush is available in 3–5 days for an additional fee. Starting from THB 800/page for translation and THB 1,200 per document for notarisation; MFA and embassy stamps are passed through at official rates.

International Document Services

Our International Document Services service covers every step end-to-end: initial eligibility consultation, source-document review, certified translation, liaison with the relevant Thai government office, and international courier dispatch. The handling team includes attorneys registered as Notarial Services Attorneys with the Lawyers Council of Thailand, translators recognized by the Ministry of Justice, and consular liaison officers with 10+ years of experience.

We plan the shortest and most cost-effective document routing for your case before any fees are charged, and we issue a written timeline so you can schedule your travel or filing with confidence.

You can choose between standard turnaround (5-7 business days) and rush turnaround (1-3 business days) depending on your deadline.

5. Final documents are scanned and emailed for your review before physical dispatch.

Timeline & Fees

Standard turnaround: 5-7 business days from receipt of complete originals.
Rush turnaround: 1-3 business days (rush surcharge applies).
Government fees are charged at official rates with no markup.
Domestic EMS at Thailand Post rates; international DHL/FedEx at actual weight-based rates.

Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them

Originals out of validity window — many destinations require documents issued within 3-6 months. Confirm with the destination authority first.
Name mismatch between document and passport — embassies reject these. Correct it at the district office before translating.
Using a translator without an official seal — MFA and embassies will not accept it; you'll restart the chain.
Skipping MFA legalization before the embassy step — wastes multiple trips and weeks of time.
