Embassy attestation in Bangkok — FAQ
Embassy attestation is the final step for countries that are not covered by an apostille arrangement in force. Each embassy applies its own document list, appointment system and fees.
Which countries require embassy attestation?
Countries outside an operative apostille arrangement, including many in the Middle East and parts of Asia. The destination authority's instructions are decisive.
What is the correct order of steps?
Issuing authority document → certified translation → Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization → embassy attestation. Skipping a step is the most common cause of rejection.
Can an agent submit on my behalf?
Most embassies accept submission by a representative; some require the applicant or a company officer. Requirements are checked case by case.
How long does attestation take?
From one day to several weeks depending on the embassy's workload and appointment availability.
Which translation language is required?
Usually English, and for some embassies the destination country's official language, such as Arabic.
Why do embassies reject documents?
Inconsistent name spelling, expired supporting documents, missing MFA legalization, or a translation not produced by an accepted translator.
What is the fee?
Fees depend on the document type, language pair, number of legalization steps and urgency. Request a written quotation by LINE, phone or email.
