Certification of the Existence of Documents in Pai

Short answer to "What procedures apply when translating foreign corporate financial statements for the Revenue Department?" — Every translation ships with a Certificate of Accuracy carrying the translator's name, a job reference number and the company seal — the format Thai ministries, embassies and universities expect. MFA Thailand only certifies the Thai–English pair, so a third-language original is either relayed through English or translated directly into Thai with a signed translator declaration attached to every page.

Quick summary for expats, HR teams and law firms to "How to translate international trade agreement frameworks under WTO rules?" — Inbound chain for foreign documents: notarisation or Apostille in the country of origin → that country's embassy in Bangkok (non-Apostille states only) → Thai translation → MFA certification, after which DBD, district offices, Immigration and the Thai courts accept the file. Multi-language certified translation for use in Thailand runs in three layers: translation by a native/MFA-recognised translator, a certificate of accuracy sealed by the translation company or a Notary Public lawyer, then MFA legalisation of that translation.

Per the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs (MFA Thailand) to "How to execute 3-hour express official document translations for extreme emergencies?" — MFA Thailand only certifies the Thai–English pair, so a third-language original is either relayed through English or translated directly into Thai with a signed translator declaration attached to every page. Thailand acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 14 February 2025, so outbound documents to member states need one Apostille from MFA instead of a destination-embassy step, except for states that objected to the accession.
