Requesting help with what "authenticated" means for a Thai embassy. There are multiple types of stamps possible from Canadian embassy.

I'm going to be in Malaysia and thinking of applying for DTV visa in Kuala Lumpur as self-employed. On the embassy website page -- [members only] -- they list under requirements that documents must be "authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located."

I am Canadian and our embassy offers multiple authentication / certification / notarial services. Does anyone have experience with what the Malaysian embassy might require for "authentication"? I don't have an employment contract, but I have business registration and contracts with clients.
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the meaning of "authenticated" as it pertains to the requirements for applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The individual seeking advice is a Canadian self-employed individual trying to understand what specific forms of authentication are needed for documents submitted to the Thai embassy. Comments suggest that the requirements may vary depending on the embassy's interpretation, with some users recommending to inquire directly with the embassy for precise information. There are also mentions of other consulates like Savannakhet that may have a more straightforward application process.

From memory there was someone on here who applied in Penang and had to travel to KL to get their information authenticated.

Yeah unfortunately "stamp" and "certified" mean different things for different embassies so UK services and Canadian services are different.

Just curious
@Chris ********
with KL being possibly the hardest thai consulate in the area to apply for the DTV in the category you want to apply in what is the draw to go there and try for it?

I mean why not Savannakhet or Vientiane or one of the other consulates that appear to take a more 'user friendly' approach to that category of DTV ?

I will already be there so that was the first reason. Honestly, we will probably end up going somewhere else for these reasons.

I still wouldn't know what "authenticated" means in this context. Notarized? they only notarize original documents though and Canadian taxes are all online

@Chris ********
it appears you're just grasping at straws

I'd be really suspect of answers from anyone who isn't a canuck and didn't apply at the KL consulate for the DTV for the same reason 😕

hard to say, but if you download the pdf of your last return I'd think the embassy could stamp it to say it's a real government of Canada tax return.

I declined this post three times and tried to message you about it as well.

I finally let it on but it doesn't change my answer which is I think you're asking a question that no one is gonna have the answer to,

AND

as much as you might not want this to be the answer I think it's gonna take you slogging to KL to apply in order to find out exactly what they want as far as the certification stamp.

You're dealing with a visa that's just a month old, and only a handful of people have used KL for a DTV (if that) as it's not a popular consulate because of the mandatory appt both to turn in your documents and to pick up your passport.

You can try to call them tomorrow when they're open (they speak english just fine there) and see what they say but I think you're actually looking at finding out when you apply and then having to go to your embassy in KL to get the stamps there

call the KL consulate tomorrow and ask them as I said they speak english fine.

To be completely honest, I think you're looking for an answer that can't be had until you're at the consulate trying to apply,

BUT

I'll leave the post open a bit to see if anyone responds to your questions 🙂

Sincerely good luck with it
