Skilled Worker. These use cases require Thai public documents fully processed through the Legalization Chain. Our completed documents are ready to file immediately after all three layers of certification.
Norway is a Hague Apostille Convention 1961 member, but Thailand is not — so Thai documents go through the Legalization Chain instead of receiving an Legalization. Our Authentication Chain takes slightly longer than Apostille but delivers equivalent legal effect. We get every step right the first time so documents aren't rejected at destination.
(1) Sign and have the PoA legalized at the Thai consular post in Norway. (2) Ship originals and copies to our Thailand team. (3) We obtain origin-agency certified copies, translate, MFA-legalize, and สถานทูตนอร์เวย์-attest. (4) DHL/FedEx ships back to Norway in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.

A Notarial Services Attorney certifies signatures, identity, or copies as the first link inside Thailand. MFA Nitikorn certifies that the origin agency's stamp/signature (including the Notary's) is genuine. Diplomatic mission Legalization is the final step where the destination diplomatic mission authenticates the MFA seal. Documents become usable abroad only after all three layers are complete.
A fully MFA-legalized document carries the red Department of Consular Affairs seal, the Head of Legalization Section's signature, a reference number, an issue date, and explicit wording stating that only the origin agency's stamp and signature are certified. The reference number can be verified in real time on the MFA online verification system.
