Short answer
Embassy and Consulate Legalisation is available in all 77 Thai provinces, using the route that fits each area: an in-office appointment, a travelling team, or courier handling with a video identity check. Most cases 3–10 business days, depending on the individual embassy and its national holidays. Start by sending document photos for review so no courier round or trip is wasted.
Three routes — which one fits your area
| Route | Best for | Note | Provinces |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-office appointment | Within same-day travel of one of our offices | Signatory appears in person before the attorney | 27 |
| We travel to you | Multiple signatories, or executives who cannot travel | Booked ahead; the document set is verified before we depart | 6 |
| Courier + video identity check | Provinces far from our offices | We review document photos on LINE before anything ships, so no courier round is wasted | 44 |
Documents to prepare
- The document already legalised by the Thai Department of Consular Affairs
- The embassy's own application form, completed in full
- Passport copies of both the applicant and the document holder
- Evidence of purpose: contract, invitation letter or acceptance letter
- The embassy's set-count requirement, which differs country by country
How the process runs
- 1.Confirm whether the destination is an Apostille country or an embassy-legalisation country
- 2.Re-check that embassy's current requirements before filing, as they change
- 3.Assemble the set in the order the embassy asks for, with forms and copies
- 4.File, track the queue and report progress back to you
- 5.Verify the stamps and wording before handover or international dispatch
Pitfalls that get work rejected
- Going straight to the embassy without the MFA step, which most embassies reject outright
- Relying on old forum information after the embassy has changed its rules
- Filing one set when the destination needs two, which restarts the whole chain
