I have an appointment at the American Embassy in Bangkok to get my Free to Marry Affidavit on January 9. Is it possible to get everything translated and certified by the Minister of Foreign Affairs in one day or is that not possible. Also do you need an appointment for the Thai Minister. Thanks
Answer summary
The user inquires about the feasibility of obtaining a Free to Marry Affidavit and getting necessary documents translated and certified by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the same day as their embassy appointment. Various comments suggest that while same-day service might be challenging due to time constraints, many translation services are available near the embassy, and obtaining certification might take several hours to a few days. Additionally, it is noted that appointments may not be needed for the Thai Ministry, and there are services available that can manage the process efficiently.

The ministry of foreign affairs doesn't do the actual translation. All they do is verify that the translation you had done is accurate.

You can onlt get same day service at the Misistry if you're there before 11:30 so you need to do the Embassy, translation and transportation by 11:30? I don't think so.
