For those who have documents in languages other than English - any luck with self translations without notarization? Planning to apply from Vietnam. My bank statements are in English but my freelance invoices and VAT are not (but I can provide client contracts in english... so essentially just my VAT ID needs translated)
Answer summary
Expat applicants in Vietnam have reported success using self-translations of documents for Thai visa applications. It is suggested that many posts confirm Vietnam accepts self-translations, and personal experiences indicate no issues with the process when utilizing tools like Adobe for translation.
