What type of PCC does Hungary require?
Hungary requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตฮังการี. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตฮังการี attestation when required.
Hungary visas commonly requiring PCC
White Card. 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 Hungary
(1) Sign and have the PoA legalized at the Thai embassy in Hungary. (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 + สถานทูตฮังการี attestation. (5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Hungary in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.
Total cost shipping to Hungary
Bundled cost shipping to Hungary ranges THB 6,000–15,000 depending on number of copies, translation language, and legalization level (MFA only vs. สถานทูตฮังการี attestation). Postage ~ THB 2,500. Request a precise bundled quote anytime.
Government fees and standard turnaround times
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.
Difference between the police PCC and MFA / embassy legalization
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.
What the certificate looks like and key fields to verify
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.
Translating the PCC into English and the destination language
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.
MFA consular legalization process at the Department of Consular Affairs
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.
Submitting to the destination embassy and processing times
Applications must be made at the Criminal Records Division (CRD), Building 7, Royal Thai Police HQ, Rama I Road, or via the People's Background Check Center, Forensic Science Police Office. The five core steps: (1) book online at pcscenter.sb.police.go.th, (2) prepare original and copy documents, (3) attend the 10-fingerprint scan, (4) pay the THB 100–200 government fee, (5) wait 7–15 business days standard or 3–5 days for express.
