Hi,

My husband plans to go to Ho Chi Min Thai consulate to get a Non B visa next week for teaching in thailand. He has all the documents prepared except he may not have time to get his degree certificate legalised. Does anyone know if this is required at ho chi min embassy? I know it's better to have than not but just want to check if any one has experience of this?

He has emailed them to ask but so far no reply. And the website says required documents "proof of diplomas or degree certificates", it doesn't mention legalisation. I know this is required to do the extension in thailand at immigration. But by then he will definitely have the stamps.

Thank you very any information.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster inquired about the necessity of legalising degree certificates when applying for a Non B visa at the Thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. They expressed concern over their husband's inability to legalise his degree certificate before the appointment, although all other documents were ready. Comments indicated that as long as the degree is recognized and properly documented by the Ministry of Education (MOE), it may suffice for the visa application, even though legalisation is typically required for visa extensions within Thailand.

His degree is from USA so it's all in English. He is french nationality/french passport.

Are the diplomas or degree certificates in English or Thai and what is the county of origin of your husband?
