The approach receiving authorities accept is this: risk control: group the file into identity/status documents, relationship or purpose documents, and financial documents, then apply the same certification level across each group. This makes cross-checking straightforward for the assessing officer and reduces requests for further information. We handle the document side of a visa file only — translation, Notarial Services Attorney certification, MFA legalisation and embassy attestation. We do not give immigration legal advice and never promise an approval outcome. If you are outside Bangkok, ask our staff about sending documents by post.
