Hi!

I'm currently applying for the DTV in KL, and after doing some research, I found out that it's one of the hardest places to apply from since they requested authenticated documents, but the US embassy doesn't authenticate those documents in Malaysia.

I was wondering if it'd be easier to go to another country, like Vietnam, and start the process there. If so, do I have to withdraw my process in KL?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! So glad I discovered this page. I’m a Canadian teacher who has been offered a job in Thailand. I did not being my original degrees, but I have have clear scanned copies of transcripts from two different universities, and I am registered with the Ontario College of Teacher. My name can be searched on their website. Is there somewhere here that will notarize a scanned copy? Will the Thai government accept that? There is a postal strike in Canada so that complicated things even more.

Hi all,

I want to have a certified copy of my UK passport notified and translated to Thai for the purpose of securing the Yellow Tabien Baan ( house book for foreigners)

I am in Hua Hin and the embassy web suggests finding a local notary. That would be handy but I guess BKK.

Has anyone from the UK gone through this process and can advise

TIA

Advice/recommendations needed

I've been told I need to get a copy of my passport certified by my embassy, and then translated to Thai with a certification from the MFA. The translation isn't my concern, but has anyone gotten their passport certified by the British Embassy? It seems like British passports can be certified by local notary companies, but I'm a bit lost and on a time crunch.

Does anyone know the process? And does anyone have any recommendations in the Pattaya/Sattahip area for a notary service?

Greetings

Can anyone advise please?

The Customer Service Officer for International Centralised Services International here in NZ has indicated that a client declaration (standard form) needs to be completed every 6 months while away overseas to ensure continuation of Superanuation payments.

This declaration requires a witness signature, and if to be e-mailed in return also requires a stamp.

The stamp must show the city/country that the witness is in.

If you post the form, you do not need to have it stamped by the witness as the postal stamp will show this.

Can anyone advise where such a stamp may be located, or offer advise pl.

Thanks

Hi folks, I am a UK Citizen and have lived in Bangkok for over a year. I am having a lot of trouble getting my 'DWP Proof of Life certificate' signed.

So far I have tried the police station, my bank, my pharmacist and even the Tax Office where I pay my taxes, but no one wants to sign it for me.

It doesn't help that it is written in English and the people I have asked are unable to read it.

I have translated it to Thai via Google App Translator, but that does not seem to have helped any.

They have all told me that they are afraid to sign it in case they get into trouble.

It would really be helpful if we could just take it to the British Embassy, but I have heard that they would not sign it for me.

Any assistance or advice anyone could give me would truly be appreciated

Question:

The US Dept of State in Washington DC will authenticate my 'Authentic' SS Income verification letter (Issued on Official letterhead and signed and stamped by the SS Agency representative). It can then be Certified as a legal document by the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, DC.

There is a notary service that takes the document through the entire process for $372 US.

Has anyone successfully used this documentation method for meeting the minimum ฿65,000/month for a retirement here in Thailand (in lieu of the ฿800,000 bank deposit)?
