Legalisation of Swiss documents for Thailand

Thailand is not a party to the Hague Convention: the apostille is not enough. Your Swiss documents follow the full circuit — notary, cantonal chancellery, federal chancellery, then embassy — which we orchestrate end to end, translation included.

What to know for Thailand

Thailand is not a Hague member: weddings, retirement visas and family matters go through Swiss legalisation and then the Royal Thai Embassy in Bern, followed by Thai translation and MFA validation in Bangkok.

The Swiss-Thai wedding has its well-known documentary choreography: we execute the Swiss leg in the exact order the embassy requires.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't the apostille work for Thailand?

Thailand has not joined the Hague Convention: only consular legalisation (super-legalisation) gives foreign documents effect there — a multi-step circuit that is precisely our specialty.

What are the consular fees?

Each embassy sets its own fees, often by document type. Our quote includes or itemises them — no surprises along the way.

What is a realistic timeline?

Allow 7–14 business days for the consular leg, on top of the Swiss steps. We state a realistic timeline from the quote, based on the embassy's current practice.

Translation before or after legalisation?

It depends on the consulate — the wrong order is rejection cause no. 1. We apply the exact order currently required for Thailand.
