How far must a foreign divorce decree be translated and legalised to be accepted for registering the marriage overseas?

What to understand before you start collecting documents: 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. This can run alongside NAATI translation, police clearance and Apostille work in a single file.
