More questions about China visa document notarization
- Does mainland China now accept a Thai apostille?
- Yes. China acceded to the Hague Convention on 7 November 2023 and Thailand deposited its instrument of accession on 30 June 2026, with entry into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. From that date a Thai apostille will be valid for mainland China without further Chinese embassy legalization; until then, legalization at the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok is still required. Hong Kong and Macao operate under separate but Hague-compatible regimes and also accept the apostille. Taiwan is outside the Convention and still requires legalization via the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Bangkok.
- What extras are required for a Chinese student visa file?
- X1/X2 visas require MOE-endorsed transcripts and degrees, MFA authentication and a Thai apostille (replacing the old Chinese embassy legalization step). Add the university's JW202 or JW201 admission letter and an apostilled Thai police clearance. Certain provinces — notably Shanghai and Beijing — additionally demand a Thai public-hospital medical certificate authenticated by MFA. Budget 45 days for the full end-to-end workflow, buffer included.
Key takeaways
- Only attorneys registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand under the Lawyers Act B.E. 2528 may certify
- You must sign in front of the attorney and present an original passport or Thai ID card
- Documents used abroad usually also require MFA Department of Consular Affairs legalization and/or destination-embassy endorsement
- Procedures and timelines may change; verify with the responsible authority before filing
