This is the most asked question in this category — Corporate extracts have a short acceptance window — many destinations require issuance within 3 to 6 months of use, so schedule the extract, translation and legalisation inside one cycle. Timing to allow: Translation and certification 1–3 business days · MFA legalisation 3–5 business days (express 1–2) · multi-document corporate sets 5–10 business days We collect documents nationwide by post and return them by DHL/FedEx overseas, so no trip to Bangkok is needed.
