How do I prepare a spousal consent letter for a Japanese spouse visa, and how long does it take?

When preparing document files of this kind, a foreign spouse usually needs an affirmation of freedom to marry from their own embassy in Thailand first, then has it translated into Thai and legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs before the Thai registrar will accept it. Timing to allow: Timing depends on the document type and each authority's processing; our team estimates after reviewing your file. Not a guarantee. Tell us the destination country or authority and we run translation, notarial certification, MFA legalisation and embassy attestation as one job.
