How can I notarize my degree and transcript in Thailand for a work visa?

Cris ******

I don't think they do in their office but they got all my stuff notarized. I just dropped everything off with them. A very short time later I received a hand delivered envelope with everything I needed. They also can advise with agents as well

but yes. If they are doing the quarterly transfers. Good luck. I would always suggest lump sum sitting in thai bank. And transferring forward.

I wouldn't have it directly deposited over. If the baht tanks or goes up. There are good times to transfer and bad. Been here two years and seen the baht go from 29 to 37. That can be a lot of money lost or gained.

Cris ******

A lot of. Legit motorbike shops can do the process for you. Sounds like you were getting scammed. I bought a scooter. They just took copies of my stuff. Went to the DLT for me. And 2 weeks later. Got my green book with my name in it etc.
