Hi all, I need to find someone in Chiang Mai to certify some Australian documents so I can open an Australian bank account.

Chatgpt gave me the following options. Unfortunately the Chiang Mai Australian embassy is closed. Anyone know of someone who can do this for me?

If you are in Thailand and need to have documents certified for use in Australia, you typically need to find someone who is recognized under Australian law to perform this task. In many cases, documents certified overseas may require specific types of certifiers, such as:

Australian Consulate or Embassy Staff: Staff members at the Australian Embassy or Consulate can certify documents. They are familiar with Australian requirements and are often the most straightforward option when abroad.

Notary Public: A notary public in Thailand may be able to certify documents, but you should check with Macquarie Bank to ensure they accept foreign notaries.

Australian Registered Professionals Abroad: If there is an Australian lawyer, accountant, or other professional recognized by Australian bodies residing or working in Thailand, they may be able to certify documents.

Justice of the Peace (JP): If you can find a JP who is available and recognized, they might also be able to perform this task.

Hi I am trying to find out what actual documents I need for my Non O Thai Marriage Visa, I am getting told different things from Immigration in Buriram, Foreign Affairs in Bangkok, Thai Embassy in London, etc etc, told by one of them that I need British marriage certificate translated and Passport both stamped by British Embassy, but they said that they did not do that. Another said I had to take them both back to the UK and get them both legalized. Bangkok Foreign Affairs insists that the Embassy in Bangkok does do it, Another one said I have to take my UK marriage certificate back to the UK and get the Thai embassy to certify it after it has been translated. Amphur office says I have to get my Passport translated and then certified at the British embassy? I think I am starting to go loopy

Dilemma now, the District office in Samui (applying for kor 22) asked me to get my Overseas Marriage certificate translated in the ministry of foreign affairs in bangkok. But I called them and they said they don't do translation and asked me to find myself and they only do the legalization of the translated copy, need help!

Hello everyone! A few days ago I received my first one-year Extension of Stay Permit (EOS) from my immigration office. I had my salary certificate certified by my embassy in Bangkok. My immigration told me that I actually have to have this certified certificate certified again in Bangkok by a Thai authority. (over-authentication).

What is the name of this authority in Bangkok?

And where is this authority located?

Because it is my first EOS, my immigration has kindly stamped the EOS in my passport without this additional authentication just for this time.

Thank you for your answers!

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.

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."

Hi all. I just moved to Jomtien on a 3 month Non-immigrant Type O Marriage Visa from America. I am looking to gather the necessary documents for my 1 year extension. I need a Kor Ror 22. I have my marriage license and need to get a translated copy. Can my Thai wife take that to the MFA in Central Festival for certification or do I need to go to the US Embassy in Bangkok?
