Credential evaluators and professional boards abroad often impose their own format —
Following current Thai authority practice, credential evaluators and professional boards abroad often impose their own format — a grading-scale explanation, programme duration and a full subject list. Check the destination's requirement before ordering the translation so nothing has to be redone. Timing to allow: Timing depends on the document type and each authority's processing; our team estimates after reviewing your file. Not a guarantee. If you are outside Bangkok, ask our staff about sending documents by post.
