Does anyone know if you need to book an appointment at the MFA to get documents translated and certified? Or can you just turn up.
Answer summary
It is recommended to book an appointment at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) for document translation and certification, although some people choose to attend in person. To ensure all documents are ready, it is advised to get them translated beforehand. Additionally, contacting your embassy in Thailand for a list of approved translation companies can be beneficial.

It is also better to call your embassy in Thailand to get a list of approved translation companies which they approve.

there's a few translation companies in the building, but probably best to get the documents translated before you go.
