What type of PCC does Bahrain require?
Bahrain requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตบาห์เรน. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตบาห์เรน attestation when required.
Bahrain visas commonly requiring PCC
Work. All long-stay visas above require a PCC from every country where the applicant lived for 6–12 months or more during the past 5–10 years. Our finished certificate is ready to file immediately after the legalization chain is complete.
Workflow for clients already in Bahrain
(1) Sign and have the PoA legalized at the Thai embassy in Bahrain. (2) Ship originals and copies to our Thailand team. (3) We process the criminal records check, fingerprinting via FBI FD-258 or the Thai embassy. (4) Translation + MFA legalization + สถานทูตบาห์เรน attestation. (5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Bahrain in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.
Total cost shipping to Bahrain
Bundled cost shipping to Bahrain ranges THB 6,000–15,000 depending on number of copies, translation language, and legalization level (MFA only vs. สถานทูตบาห์เรน attestation). Postage ~ THB 2,200. Request a precise bundled quote anytime.
Translating the PCC into English and the destination language
Consular legalization happens at the MFA Department of Consular Affairs, Chaeng Wattana Road, or its regional branches. The fee is THB 200 per document for standard service (2 business days) or THB 400 for express (1 business day). Legalized documents carry the red MFA seal, the legalization officer's signature, and a reference number for verification.
MFA consular legalization process at the Department of Consular Affairs
After MFA, the final step is destination-embassy attestation in Thailand. Each embassy has its own timing, fee, and rules — typically 3–10 business days. Some require online booking; we book and submit on your behalf where embassy rules allow.
Submitting to the destination embassy and processing times
If you cannot visit the CRD in person, you can authorize our team via a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty and ID copies of both grantor and representative. We schedule one visit for the legally-required fingerprint scan, then handle every remaining step.
How to appoint our team via Power of Attorney
Common rejection / delay reasons: unclear fingerprints requiring a re-scan, mismatched names across documents, missing supporting documents, the stated purpose not matching the destination form, address mismatches between house registration and passport, or an outstanding case requiring clarification. Pre-application consultation eliminates most of these risks.
Common reasons applications get rejected or delayed
Foreign nationals residing in Thailand can request a Thai PCC for their Thai Work Permit, LTR visa, Thai PR application, or use back home. The process mirrors Thai citizens but uses the original passport and Work Permit; the destination purpose must be clearly stated.
PCC for foreign nationals living in Thailand
Thai citizens living overseas can use our service without flying home. Sign a Power of Attorney at a Thai embassy in your country of residence, send the originals and copies to our team, and we handle fingerprinting either through the Thai embassy (live-scan) or with the FBI FD-258 form, then ship the legalized PCC to your destination via DHL / FedEx.
