Do I need to get my documents authenticated at the embassy for a Non-B and Non-O visa application in Thailand?
Hello, everybody! My husband, baby, and I will be going to Penang next week to apply for a Non-B visa for me (teaching) and 2 Non-O visas for my family members to follow me. We are currently looking at this checklist of requirements, and are curious about this wording: “The document must be authenticated by the embassy of its country of origin.” Does this mean we have to take these two documents to our embassy for additional authentication? I am only concerned because we did have to do that for our marriage certificate in the past.

The poster is inquiring about the requirement that documents must be authenticated by the embassy of their country of origin when applying for a Non-B visa for teaching and Non-O visas for their family. A commenter confirms that the requirement does mean they need to take their documents to the embassy for authentication.

Okay, thank you. Our embassy has no available appointments before our flight leaves, so this is going to be quite an ordeal. Thank you for your help.Robert *******
Yes, you get these documents authenticated by your Embassy before you make your way to Penang and use them to apply for a visa.
