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

Embassy consular fee 30-100 EUR + 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 Greece legalization take?

Thai MFA 2–3 days + Embassy of Greece 10-21 วัน — 7–21 business days end to end, with express options where the mission allows.

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

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

Does the Affidavit need to be translated first?

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

What is a legalised Affidavit used for in Greece?

Visa and immigration filings, marriage, study, employment, pensions and legal matters. Popular documents at this mission: Apostille, Επικυρωμένη Μετάφραση.

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

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

Do I need to appear in person at the Greece 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 Greece?

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

What does a legalised Affidavit for Greece cost in total?

Typically THB 6,000–12,000 all-in: Greece consular fee (30-100 EUR), 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 Greece or worldwide.

Legalising a Thai Affidavit for Greece

Getting a Thai Affidavit recognised by the Greece authorities almost always requires a full legalization chain rather than a single stamp. Because Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention for this route, a Affidavit issued in Thailand cannot simply be apostilled — it must first be certified by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Legalization Division, Chaeng Watthana) and then authenticated by the Embassy of Greece in กรุงเทพฯ (สาทร). NYC Legal manages this end to end so you never have to queue in person.

Why the legalization chain is required

Each layer in the legalization chain authenticates the layer beneath it. The certified translation is verified by the translator's declaration; the MFA authenticates the translator's registered signature; and the Embassy of Greece authenticates the MFA. Break the chain anywhere and the Greece authorities can lawfully refuse the Affidavit, even if the underlying facts are correct.

Certified translation requirements

Most Greece 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 Greece. 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 Greece charges 30-100 EUR 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

Turnaround is the sum of the chain: translation (1–3 days) + MFA (2–3 days) + Embassy of Greece (10-21 วัน). We sequence these to overlap wherever possible and track each counter daily. For genuinely urgent Affidavit files we will tell you honestly whether your deadline is achievable before you pay.

What a legalised Affidavit is used for

A legalised Affidavit is commonly required by Greece for immigration and visa applications, marriage registration, family reunification, university admission, employment and work authorisation, pension and social-security claims, property or inheritance matters, and company registration. The most requested documents at the Greece mission include Apostille, Επικυρωμένη Μετάφραση.

Common mistakes we help you avoid

The most frequent rejections we prevent: submitting the Affidavit to the Greece embassy before the MFA stamp; name spellings that differ from the passport; an outdated document (many missions want issuance within 3–6 months); a translation missing a seal or marginal note; and photocopies where a certified true copy or original is required. We pre-flight every file against the Greece mission's current checklist.
