Hello everyone. 

I would like to know if Chinese diploma could be certified in Thailand for visa alteration purpose. I am hired by a Thailand company with tourist visa in hand. As my research, I have to submit certification of education certified by embassy and Ministry of foreign affairs Thailand to immigration office... but looking into China embassy (Thailand) website and it said they don't certified any degree issued from China.... some Thai agencies ask me translate my diploma to English without any stamp then take it to MFA to be stamped.  Does that make sense? MFA can stamp a transition version which is without any stamp??? As it will take around 15 working days to be done in my home country...  Anyone could tell me what's the best option for me if I am in Thailand now. 

Much appreciated if somebody could instruct me.

And where do you like to convert this visa and did you go to this Immigration Office and asked the hand out with requirements?

I think it is best to do this at the Immigration Office that serves the area where the company is based and also apply for the Work Permit at the Ministry of Labor where the company is based. If you just walk into another office, you will be sent away.
