What should I do if my international marriage certificate is in English but the Thai visa application requests a translation?
My husband & I just got our DTVs approved in Hanoi. I wanted to highlight something for people who got married in the EU & received a "Formule B" international marriage certificate. Make sure it's visible that the document is already in English!
The writing is small so it seems it can be easily overlooked. They initially sent us a document request for translation to English & notarization. However, I figured that must have been a mistake. So I wrote a short cover letter explaining that it's already in English, highlighted all the English text on the document & uploaded that. A day later, my husband's application was switched to "pending approval" & 5 days later it was approved.
Just a tip so no one panics & tries to get a document translated & notarized that's already in English 🥲

Answer summary
A couple recently received their DTVs in Hanoi and shared their experience regarding the use of an international marriage certificate (Formule B) issued in the EU. They encountered a request for translation and notarization, despite the document already being in English. To address this, they wrote a cover letter explaining the document's language and highlighted the English text. Their husband's application changed to 'pending approval' shortly after and was approved within five days. They advise others in similar situations not to panic and to clarify the status of their documentation.
