Degree slightly damaged

[teacherbrendan]

So after getting my degree back from the Thai embassy in London it appears to have gotten water damaged. Everything is still legible but the ink has ran slightly. Will this cause any problems at immigration?

have you contacted the embassy   surely your question should be forwarded to them if you think the damage was caused by them or their form of logistics

Odd for ink on a degree to run from being wet, unless you mean the signatures.  Ink used in offset printing and laser printing don't run, usually just inkjet ink runs.

Yes I meant the signatures and the stamp of the Thai embassy.

I think it was the courier. I have contacted the Thai embassy. However, I don’t think it’s going to change much regarding whether or not it will cause problems at immigration.

Do you have a transcript as a back up?

Usually the transcript is also required. I supply mine each year as part of my paperwork (I believe for the work permit).

Get another certified copy of your degree from your University if you are concerned. You should be able to order it on-line if you've remember your student number.

Not that easy.

 

degrees now need to be legalised and notarised, first by a uk solicitor, uk embassy and Thai embassy.

 

would be impossible without having to fly home.

Did you get your original copy or photocopy copy of your degree certificate legalized by the embassy?

I got a certified copy of mine from Uni in Australia posted to me in Bangkok and then got it apostatized at the Australian Embassy. Maybe it differs to the UK.

well, from your first post it seems like your still in the UK. Because your asking about immigration. Plus if you worry so much you should contact your university when your in the UK, when you got back your documents from the Thai embassy.

 

Will there be any problem, i believe its up to where you will go for the immigration. if its in BKK, yes can be important.. if its small cities go with someone from your work to make things better, small cities are easier.

When applying for my marriage extension, I had a photocopy of our marriage certificate refused because it had been folded in half. I suspect you will need a new document.
