Practitioner guidance — Embassy legalisation

Competent authority: The destination country's embassy or consulate

Practitioner guidance

  • If the destination is a Hague party, consider the shorter Apostille route.
  • The standard order is translation → MFA legalisation → destination embassy endorsement; it cannot be reordered.
  • Check copy counts, forms and booking methods directly with the embassy, as these vary widely.
  • Some countries have no mission in Thailand and are covered from a neighbouring country — allow for document transit.
  • Commercial documents usually need Board of Trade certification before the embassy stage.

Pitfalls — why documents get rejected

  • Filing at the embassy before MFA legalisation.
  • Applying one embassy's requirements to another.
  • Commercial documents missing required chamber-of-commerce certification.
  • Preparing fewer copies than the embassy requires.
  • No prior appointment at an appointment-only mission.
