Per-embassy fees and processing times in Thailand
Authentication verifies signatures and seals. Legalization is the full multi-step chain. Apostille is the single Hague-Convention 1961 certificate used among member states. Thailand hasn't joined, so we use the traditional legalization chain. Consular officers at the Diplomatic mission of Canada Bangkok primarily advise in English/French. Every document destined for Canada undergoes signature, seal, and certificate-layout verification before acceptance.
Multi-document batch handling
Common corporate documents legalized include affidavits (sworn statements before a notary), resolutions (board minutes), powers of attorney, certificates of incumbency, and memoranda of association — each notarized first, then MFA, then consular post.

Authentication vs Legalization vs Apostille — when each applies

Corporate document legalization: affidavits, resolutions, PoA
Diplomatic mission legalization in Thailand follows seven steps: (1) the original document is certified by its issuing agency (district office, university, DBD, court); (2) translated into a language the diplomatic mission accepts; (3) MFA-legalized at the Department of Consular Affairs; (4) an online slot is booked with the consular post; (5) the document is filed at the consular post with the prescribed fee; (6) the diplomatic mission processes within its standard window (5–20 business days); and (7) the record is collected with the consular officer's stamp and signature.

Documents to prepare before submitting to the embassy

Embassy office hours and contact channels

Common reasons embassies reject or return documents
Thailand is not a Hague Apostille Convention 1961 member, so the Certificate authentication shortcut isn't available — the Legalization Chain (district office → MFA → diplomatic mission) is mandatory. The legal effect is equivalent; the chain just takes slightly longer. Documents that complete all three layers carry the same legal force as Document attestation-stamped records. Located at Abdulrahim Place 15F, 990 Rama IV Rd, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, the Diplomatic mission of Canada Bangkok expects clients with originals, English/French translations, and Power-of-Attorney pre-prepared before arrival.

Apostille vs Thailand's Legalization Chain

Some documents (Single Status, Police Clearance) have a strict 3-month validity. Use them within that window to avoid re-running the entire chain. Consular officers at the Consular post of Canada Bangkok primarily advise in English/French. Every paperwork destined for Canada undergoes signature, seal, and certificate-layout verification before acceptance.
