What does 'certified true copy' mean for Thai visa document requirements?
Preparing to go to the Thai Embassy here in Hanoi to get a tourist visa for Thailand. Looking over the needed documents, can anyone clarify what the mean by "a certified true copy", as in this statement? And if it means I have to have some type of certification done, anyone know who, or where I can have this done?
"All personal documents (e.g., copy of identity card, passport, work permit, Thai house registration, etc.) shall be certified true copy, signed and dated by the owner of the documents."
"All personal documents (e.g., copy of identity card, passport, work permit, Thai house registration, etc.) shall be certified true copy, signed and dated by the owner of the documents."

Yes, Phil...I got banned for life for correcting them regarding the Australian Aged Pension's advice. They claimed I was abusive which was not true but just facts as stated on Centrelink's website. But they don't like being corrected even if they are wrong. Their advice was way incorrect. I'm not a bit sorry, I'm now banned. (Forever) Amen.

Print off the documents then write I certify this to be a true copy and sign and date them.

Not sure if this is interesting for you but it might be that you can get a 60 day visa exempt, starting on Monday.

@Stephan **********
no one knows if it will be possible to apply for an extension on a 60 day visa exempt though. So if you know you want 90 days a tourist visa is still the safe betStephan ***********

Oops... my bad... didn't see he wants 90 days...Activity
