I need to get documents posted from Australia for a visa. I have an address here. Is it better to get them sent to a post office? Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I use DHL or Australia Post? 🙏 Thanks
Answer summary
The best way to send documents from Australia for a visa application in Thailand involves considering delivery methods like Australia Post and DHL. While some recommend Australia Post for reliability and cost-effectiveness (with delivery estimated at 8-10 days via registered mail), experiences vary with other services like DHL causing delays. It might be wise to send a second copy through a different service for redundancy. Additionally, recipients should ensure the documents are authenticated by the Australian embassy in Thailand, which can incur extra costs.

Documents sent to you. Need to be proven if they are genuine, need an approval by the Australian embassy in Thailand. That cost you money ...

Then the official translation etc

U might get your documents accepted.
