How much does it cost to legalise a Diploma for the UAE embassy?

Embassy consular fee 100-300 AED + 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 UAE legalization take?

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

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

Does the Diploma need to be translated first?

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

What is a legalised Diploma used for in UAE?

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

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

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

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

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

What does a legalised Diploma for UAE cost in total?

Typically THB 6,000–12,000 all-in: UAE consular fee (100-300 AED), 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 UAE or worldwide.

Legalising a Thai Diploma for UAE

If you are relocating to, studying in, marrying in, or doing business with UAE, your Thai Diploma will only be accepted once it carries both the Thai MFA legalization stamp and the UAE embassy authentication. We prepare the certified translation, secure the consular stamp in Chaeng Watthana, and submit the file to the UAE mission at สุขุมวิท ซอย 31 on your behalf.

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 UAE authenticates the MFA. Break the chain anywhere and the UAE authorities can lawfully refuse the Diploma, even if the underlying facts are correct.

Certified translation requirements

Most UAE 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 UAE. 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 UAE charges 100-300 AED 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

Plan for 10-21 วัน at the UAE embassy stage, on top of 2–3 business days at the Thai MFA and 1–3 days for certified translation. Realistically a single Diploma takes 7–21 business days end to end. If you have a visa interview or filing deadline, tell us first — express MFA and priority embassy handling can compress this materially where the mission allows it.

What a legalised Diploma is used for

A legalised Diploma is commonly required by UAE 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 UAE mission include MOFA Attestation, Embassy Legalization, Arabic Translation.

Common mistakes we help you avoid

Common mistakes with a Diploma for UAE: 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.
