How much does it cost to legalise a Diploma for the Syria 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 Syria legalization take?

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

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

Does the Diploma need to be translated first?

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

What is a legalised Diploma used for in Syria?

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

Can I apostille a Thai Diploma instead of using the Syria embassy?

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

Do I need to appear in person at the Syria 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 Diploma be for Syria?

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

What does a legalised Diploma for Syria cost in total?

Typically THB 6,000–12,000 all-in: Syria 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 Diploma outside Thailand?

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

Legalising a Thai Diploma for Syria

A Thai-issued Diploma is a domestic document until it is legalised for use abroad. For Syria, that means a two-tier authentication: the Department of Consular Affairs verifies the translator's and issuing officer's signatures, then the Embassy of Syria 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

Legalization is a chain of trust, not a formality. When a Syria officer sees the embassy stamp on your Diploma, 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 Syria authority accepts the document without follow-up questions.

Certified translation requirements

Most Syria authorities require the Thai Diploma to be accompanied by a certified translation into a language the mission accepts — typically English, or the official language of Syria. 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 Syria charges สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่ for authenticating a Diploma, 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 Diploma therefore lands in the THB 6,000–12,000 range once every counter is paid.

Realistic timelines you can plan around

The Syria 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 Diploma is 7–21 business days; we give you an honest date at quotation, not an optimistic one.

What a legalised Diploma is used for

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

Common mistakes we help you avoid

The most frequent rejections we prevent: submitting the Diploma to the Syria 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 Syria mission's current checklist.
