What type of PCC does Brazil require?
Brazil requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตบราซิล. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตบราซิล attestation when required.
Brazil visas commonly requiring PCC
VITEM I. 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 Brazil
(1) Sign and have the PoA legalized at the Thai embassy in Brazil. (2) Ship originals and copies to our Thailand team.

(5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Brazil in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.

Bundled cost shipping to Brazil ranges THB 6,000–15,000 depending on number of copies, translation language, and legalization level (MFA only vs. สถานทูตบราซิล attestation). Postage ~ THB 2,500. Request a precise bundled quote anytime.
How to appoint our team via Power of Attorney
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.
Common reasons applications get rejected or delayed
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.
PCC for foreign nationals living in Thailand
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.
Requesting a PCC from overseas using a Power of Attorney
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.
