A document issued in China needs to be filed in Thailand — which certification does it need at origin, and which Thai translation format does the receiving office expect?
Certified translation
Practitioner's view to "A document issued in China needs to be filed in Thailand — which certification does it need at origin, and which Thai translation format does the receiving office expect?" — 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.
