Quick answer

Apostilling a Thai degree takes three steps — 1) OHEC/university verification (for foreign-recognized bachelor's) 2) MFA Consular Department authentication 3) Apostille. Bundles start at THB 3,800 (degree + transcript) delivered within 12 business days.

Why Apostille your degree

1) Overseas employment (US, UK, Germany, Australia) 2) Master's / PhD admissions 3) Work Permit / Skilled Migration 4) Professional licensing (medical, nursing, engineering) 5) Recognition for foreign civil-service exams. A single Apostille replaces the old 3-4 step legalization chain.

Foreign-conferred degrees via OHEC

Foreign degrees to be recognised in Thailand must pass Office of the Higher Education Commission (OHEC) verification — THB 500, 15-30 days. NYC files and tracks, with prior probability screening before submission.

Medical, nursing, engineering degrees

Require an extra council endorsement (Thai Medical Council, Nursing Council, Council of Engineers) at THB 500-2,000 and 7-15 days before MFA — critical for US NCLEX, UK NMC, Australian AHPRA.

Common rejection causes

1) Degree name mismatched to passport (change civil registry first) 2) Missing rector signature 3) Transcripts older than 5 years rejected by some jurisdictions 4) Missing Apostille of original in required order. NYC audits before submission.

FAQ

Is a 15-year-old degree usable?

Yes — degrees never expire, but some transcripts must be reissued if older than 5 years. NYC arranges reissuance from the university.

Do I need to attend in person?

Yes. Biometric capture requires your physical presence at the appointment, and the officer will also verify your original identity documents at the counter. We accompany you with an interpreter, prepare the forms in advance and confirm the document checklist the day before so nothing is missing.

Can I Apostille a foreign degree in Thailand?

No — it must be Apostilled in the country of issue. NYC partners with agents in the US, UK, Australia and Canada for inbound and outbound.

Total end-to-end cost?

Degree + transcript + translation + MFA + Apostille + DHL ~ THB 3,800-7,500 per bundle, depending on the number of semesters and destination.

Non-Hague destination (China, UAE)?

For destinations outside the Hague Apostille Convention, legalisation by the receiving country's embassy in Bangkok replaces the Apostille. The chain runs translation, Department of Consular Affairs certification, then embassy stamp. We queue at each mission on your behalf and track the file until the final stamp is issued.
