many thanks

Yes! and they will be needing it in English properly translated and stamped. Just do it, don't look back, no questions. It's the same in Holland.

Cheers! good luck

Many translation offices will offer you to get the translation stamped for you at the MFA and the english embassy for a price of course. I dont know if there are embassy's in pattaya though.

There is only one Embassy in any country and it is almost always in the capital city. Believe you are thinking about Consulates - but there service is not required for MFA registration. I suspect for Consulate visa issue just a translation would be all that they would ask but if you can spend the little extra for a registration at MFA it will make that document legal and is good to have at least one such copy. Any translation service should be able to do and register for you. No Consulate should need to stamp such a document for Thai government (getting a visa) and in most countries such a document is recognized as legal by international standards.

thanks for the info

I think the English document translation comes in handy for Thai authorities should any questions arise in the future concerning a foreigner in Thailand. If they commit a crime, if injured or dies , or has other international organizations like Interpol investigating a non Thai living in Thailand, the English documents can more easily be shared with a third party....
