Additional frequently asked questions

How many months of financial evidence are needed?

Embassies commonly ask for 3–6 months of statements plus a bank letter. Required balances and periods differ by destination and visa type, so rely on that embassy's current published checklist.

How are marriage and birth records used for dependant visas?

Use the registrar-issued marriage certificate or birth certificate with a certified translation and the legalisation chain the embassy specifies. Some countries accept only recently reissued copies.

Is a police clearance certificate always required?

Not for every visa class, but work, permanent-residence and many long-stay student visas require one, issued within the recency window stated by the immigration authority.

Can documents be submitted in Thai?

Foreign embassies generally do not accept Thai-language documents without translation; a certified English translation, or one in that country's official language, must be attached in the prescribed format.

When can a refused application be resubmitted?

Usually as soon as the stated refusal ground is remedied, but read the decision letter carefully — some countries impose a waiting period or direct applicants to an appeal route instead.

What company documents are needed for business visas?

Typically a company affidavit, an invitation letter from the counterparty and an employment or position letter, each with translation and certification as the embassy requires. Scope and requirements are confirmed case by case by phone, LINE or email.

In depth: the real requirements and why documents get rejected — Visa supporting documents

Written from the competent authority's published rules, not marketing copy.

Every immigration authority publishes its own document list, and that list varies by application type. Relying on a summary from a non-official source is the usual cause of an incomplete file.

Conditions you actually have to clear

• Relationship evidence such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate must be recently issued if the destination sets an age limit.
• Translations must be bound to the originals and follow the format the receiving authority specifies.
• Where a previous application was refused, prepare documents that answer the stated refusal reasons directly.

Common causes of rejection

• Addresses that differ across documents without an accompanying explanation.
• Translations with no identified translator or certification statement, which are treated as unusable.

The effective method is to build a checklist from the receiving authority's own published notice, then map each document to the point it answers before starting translation and certification. Our team can review that mapping by phone, LINE, or email.
