How much does it cost to legalise a Affidavit for the Nepal 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 Nepal legalization take?

Thai MFA 2–3 days + Embassy of Nepal 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 Nepal embassy?

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

Does the Affidavit need to be translated first?

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

What is a legalised Affidavit used for in Nepal?

Visa and immigration filings, marriage, study, employment, pensions and legal matters. Popular documents at this mission: Authentication, Nepali Translation.

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

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

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

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

What does a legalised Affidavit for Nepal cost in total?

Typically THB 6,000–12,000 all-in: Nepal 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 Nepal or worldwide.

Legalising a Thai Affidavit for Nepal

A Thai-issued Affidavit is a domestic document until it is legalised for use abroad. For Nepal, that means a two-tier authentication: the Department of Consular Affairs verifies the translator's and issuing officer's signatures, then the Embassy of Nepal confirms the MFA stamp. NYC Legal handles both tiers, tracks each counter, and returns your document ready to file.

Why the legalization chain is required

The reason the chain exists is verification of authenticity across jurisdictions. The Nepal embassy will not read your Thai Affidavit directly; instead it relies on the Thai MFA to vouch for the signature and seal of the Thai issuing authority (or the certified translator). This is why skipping the MFA step is the single most common cause of embassy rejection — the mission simply has nothing to authenticate against.

Certified translation requirements

Because the Nepal embassy reads the translated text, translation accuracy directly determines acceptance. Names must match your passport exactly (including transliteration), dates must follow the destination format, and official Thai terminology must map to the correct Nepal legal equivalent. We proofread against your passport and prior documents before submission.

Transparent, itemised pricing

Costs are itemised, never bundled opaquely. Expect the Nepal consular fee (สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่), the MFA legalization fee (THB 200–400 standard), translation (THB 800–1,500/page), and our handling fee (สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่). We quote the exact total up front — including courier — so there are no counter-side surprises when your Affidavit reaches the Nepal mission.

Realistic timelines you can plan around

The Nepal mission's own processing (10-21 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

A legalised Affidavit is commonly required by Nepal 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 Nepal mission include Authentication, Nepali Translation.

Common mistakes we help you avoid

Common mistakes with a Affidavit for Nepal: 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.
