Consular legalisation: case library
Full legalisation chain for destinations outside the Hague Convention or where double certification is required. Each record states whether the applicant was Thai or foreign, where they were based, which services were used, the main document, the receiving authority, and a process outcome summary. Typical processing time is approx. 5–20 business days, subject to each agency's queue.

Board Resolution — Consular legalisation
Foreign national (Belgium) residing in Nakhon Phanom. Main document: Board Resolution. Context: the embassy accepts only certain translation languages.
What we handled
- sequenced the certification steps around each agency's submission windows
- prepared spare certified copies for agencies that retain documents
- filed with MFA Thailand and the destination embassy in Bangkok, for onward use in Belgium
- point handled along the way: the agency's submission and collection window was limited that week
- Belgium is a Hague Convention member, so the Apostille route was the primary path
Outcome summary: every certification step required by the destination was completed in the right order (processing time approx. 5–20 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
Prepare next time: allow one to two extra weeks for chains that pass through several agencies
Services involved: Consular legalisation + Certified document translation
