Hi everyone!
I’ll have my passport translated to English at my embassy. Then I’d like to legalize it.
1. Can I use any translation service in Bangkok to have my documents be translated to Thai?
2. For legalization I’ll need to take this Thai translation the the Ministry of Consular Affairs at Chaengwattana near the immigration building (as far as I know). Do I need an appointment for legalization or I can just show up and get a queue number?
Edit:
I just double checked the requirements and it says this.
“A copy of the passport translated into Thai and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs”.
So do I need to go to the Foreign Affairs and not the Consular Affairs? They are two different places. And I just need to certify it and not legalize it?
This is for divorce purposes, if that matters.
Thank you.
