Each document chain comes in three levels: an essential package if you prepare documents yourself but want them checked, an end-to-end package where we run the whole chain, and an advisory package for complex cases or tight deadlines. We are not only a filing agency — we advise you until the documents are accepted at destination.
Each country publishes its own visa checklist, but the structure is consistent: identity, relationship, financial, employment or study, and travel-plan documents. We handle the paperwork, translation and certification layer — never the decision itself.
View detailsA NAATI certified translation is produced by a translator credentialed by Australia's National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters. It is what Australian and New Zealand bodies — the Department of Home Affairs, universities and professional assessors — expect for non-English documents.
View detailsThailand has no common-law notary public. The equivalent is a Notarial Services Attorney (NSA) registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand, empowered to certify signatures, true copies, affidavits and facts witnessed in person.
View detailsThe Police Clearance Certificate is issued by the Royal Thai Police Criminal Records Division and is required for overseas visas, residence, citizenship, work permits and employment screening.
View detailsLegalisation is the MFA Legalisation Division's authentication of the signature and seal on a Thai document so it can be used abroad — or on a foreign document so it can be used in Thailand.
View detailsA certified translation carries the translator's or agency's accuracy statement so that government offices, universities and overseas authorities will accept it. It covers civil registration, academic, financial, legal and corporate documents.
View detailsAn Apostille is the certificate defined by the 1961 Hague Convention. Between member states it replaces embassy attestation. Thailand is a party to the Convention, with the Department of Consular Affairs acting as the Competent Authority.
View detailsCross-border paperwork rarely ends at one counter: it is a certification chain that must run in the right order. This guide maps the whole chain from the original document to the receiving authority.
View detailsMarrying a foreign national in Thailand requires a single-status affirmation from the partner's country, attested by their embassy in Thailand, translated into Thai and legalised by the MFA before filing at a district registrar.
View detailsWorking in Thailand requires both the correct visa category (Non-Immigrant B or a related class) and a work permit from the Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour. The employer-side and employee-side documents must line up.
View detailsUsing Thai qualifications abroad — or foreign qualifications in Thailand — requires certification by the issuing institution, an accurate translation and legalisation along the destination's route.
View detailsCompanies opening branches, signing contracts, opening accounts or bidding abroad usually must send corporate records certified through the full chain: the Department of Business Development, a Notarial Services Attorney, the MFA and the destination embassy.
View detailsEvery document chain uses the same three-tier structure; the difference is how much of the work we take over from you. This table shows exactly what each level covers before you pick a specific service below.
