Does a translation of my UK marriage certificate need to be certified by the Thai Embassy in London?
I am asking in relation to obtaining a Kor Ror 22 for a 1-year extension based on a marriage in the UK. My question is specific to a UK marriage certificate and getting the correct documentation in place.
My understanding of the process is as follows:
1. IN THE UK: Marriage certificate legalised by the FCDO in Milton Keynes
2. IN THE UK: Mariage certificate verified by the Thai Embassy in London
3. IN THAILAND: Marriage certificate translated
4. IN THAILAND: Translation of marriage certificate verified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
I am asking for clarification as to whether or not the Thai Embassy in London need to verify a translation of the marriage certificate, or if that only needs to be done by the MFA in Thailand.
Thank you!
