More questions about UK visa document notarization
- Does UKVI accept a Thai apostille directly?
- Yes. The United Kingdom has been a Hague Convention member since 1965 and since Thailand's accession on 28 February 2027, UKVI (Home Office) accepts a Thai apostille without any additional UK embassy legalization. Financial evidence (bank statements, payslips) still needs to be issued as a certified true copy by the originating bank or employer with a wet stamp — the apostille alone does not substitute the source-institution certification requirement.
- Who must certify translations for a UK visa file?
- UKVI requires the translator to add a three-line certification (accuracy statement, translator name, date and contact) and does not require the translator to hold any specific registration. However, we recommend adding a Notarial Services Attorney certification with the Lawyers Council of Thailand stamp: caseworkers can immediately verify the legal backing of the translation and this reduces the chance of a refusal for insufficient supporting evidence.
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
