- en-visa-0952 · Thai applicant · Si Sa Ket · destination Samoa
Divorce Certificate — Visa supporting documents
Thai national based in Si Sa Ket. Main document: Divorce Certificate. Context: a previous filing triggered a request for more documents, so the whole set was rebuilt.
What we handled
- sent draft files for review before issuing the final hard copies
- communicated the turnaround as a range and gave status updates during the process
- filed with Destination embassy or consulate, and Thai Immigration, for onward use in Samoa
- point handled along the way: some scanned pages were unclear, so the document number could not be read
- Samoa is not a Hague Convention member, so the legalisation and embassy chain applied
Outcome summary: the matter was closed in a single round, avoiding repeat trips for the applicant (processing time approx. 3–15 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
