How much does it cost to legalise a Affidavit for the Cambodia embassy?

Embassy consular fee สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่ + Thai MFA legalization (THB 200–400) + certified translation (THB 800–1,500/page) + NYC Legal service fee สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่ — typically THB 6,000–12,000 all-in.

How long does the Cambodia legalization take?

Thai MFA 2–3 days + Embassy of Cambodia 7-14 วัน — 7–21 business days end to end, with express options where the mission allows.

Do I need the Thai MFA stamp before the Cambodia embassy?

Yes — every Thai document must be legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs (Chaeng Watthana) before the Embassy of Cambodia will authenticate it.

Does the Affidavit need to be translated first?

In most cases yes — the Affidavit must be translated into a language the Cambodia mission accepts, certified by an MFA-recognised translator, then legalised together with the original.

What is a legalised Affidavit used for in Cambodia?

Visa and immigration filings, marriage, study, employment, pensions and legal matters. Popular documents at this mission: Consular Legalization, Khmer Translation.

Can I apostille a Thai Affidavit instead of using the Cambodia embassy?

No. Thailand is not part of the Hague Apostille system for this route, so a Thai Affidavit for Cambodia must go through Thai MFA legalization and then Embassy of Cambodia authentication — not an apostille.

Do I need to appear in person at the Cambodia embassy?

In most cases no — NYC Legal submits and collects on your behalf with an authorisation letter. A few document types (e.g. certain declarations) may require your signature, and we will tell you in advance if so.

How recent must my Affidavit be for Cambodia?

Many missions expect the underlying Affidavit to be issued within the last 3–6 months. We confirm the current requirement for the Cambodia embassy at booking so you don't legalise a document that will be rejected as stale.

What does a legalised Affidavit for Cambodia cost in total?

Typically THB 6,000–12,000 all-in: Cambodia consular fee (สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่), MFA legalization (THB 200–400), certified translation (THB 800–1,500/page) and our service fee (สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่). You get an exact quote up front.

Can you ship the finished Affidavit outside Thailand?

Yes. We deliver a scanned PDF immediately and courier the legalised original by EMS or DHL to any address in Cambodia or worldwide.

Legalising a Thai Affidavit for Cambodia

If you are relocating to, studying in, marrying in, or doing business with Cambodia, your Thai Affidavit will only be accepted once it carries both the Thai MFA legalization stamp and the Cambodia embassy authentication. We prepare the certified translation, secure the consular stamp in Chaeng Watthana, and submit the file to the Cambodia mission at อาคาร สาทรซิตี้ทาวเวอร์ on your behalf.

Why the legalization chain is required

Legalization is a chain of trust, not a formality. When a Cambodia officer sees the embassy stamp on your Affidavit, they are trusting the embassy, which trusted the Thai MFA, which trusted the issuing office. NYC Legal builds this chain in the correct order so the final Cambodia authority accepts the document without follow-up questions.

Certified translation requirements

Most Cambodia authorities require the Thai Affidavit to be accompanied by a certified translation into a language the mission accepts — typically English, or the official language of Cambodia. The translation must be faithful, complete, and produced by a translator whose signature the Thai MFA can verify. We use MFA-recognised translators so the translation itself can be legalised alongside the original.

Transparent, itemised pricing

Budget realistically: the Embassy of Cambodia charges สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่ for authenticating a Affidavit, the Thai MFA charges roughly THB 200–400 per document (express ~THB 800), certified translation runs about THB 800–1,500 per page, and the NYC Legal all-inclusive service fee is สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่. A typical single Affidavit therefore lands in the THB 6,000–12,000 range once every counter is paid.

Realistic timelines you can plan around

The Cambodia mission's own processing (7-14 วัน) is the least controllable part of the timeline, which is why we start translation and MFA legalization immediately and submit to the embassy the moment the MFA stamp is dry. Total realistic turnaround for a Affidavit is 7–21 business days; we give you an honest date at quotation, not an optimistic one.

What a legalised Affidavit is used for

Foreign nationals typically need a legalised Affidavit when dealing with Cambodia government offices, courts, universities, employers or banks — anywhere the receiving party must trust a Thai record. At this mission the highest-volume documents are Consular Legalization, Khmer Translation, and we handle each with the correct chain for its purpose.

Common mistakes we help you avoid

Common mistakes with a Affidavit for Cambodia: wrong order of stamps, an unverifiable translator, mismatched transliteration of names, missing supporting documents (e.g. a marriage certificate needed alongside a name-change record), and booking the embassy before the MFA step is complete. Our review catches these before they cost you a wasted counter visit.

Why work with NYC Legal

Doing this yourself means multiple trips across Bangkok, queueing at the MFA and the Cambodia mission, and risking a wasted day if any detail is off. We consolidate the entire Affidavit legalization into one managed service, submit at อาคาร สาทรซิตี้ทาวเวอร์ on your behalf, and return the document ready to file — in Thailand or shipped internationally.
