China Legalisation — Thai MFA + Embassy Bangkok
China is NOT part of the Hague Apostille — every Thai-issued document destined for Chinese authorities must be triple-legalised: certified CN/EN translation → Thai MFA → Chinese Embassy Bangkok. NYC files end-to-end in 7 working days, covering marriage to Chinese spouse, Z-Visa employment dossiers, and Shenzhen/Shanghai company set-ups.
What is the chain to legalise a Thai document for China?
Translation → Notary → Thai MFA Chaeng Wattana → China Embassy Bangkok (สถานทูตจีนประจำประเทศไทย) — completed in 7 days. From THB 3,000/doc + embassy fee THB 1,100. Although mainland China joined the Apostille Convention in Nov 2023, Thailand has NOT acceded — Thai-issued documents still require full consular legalisation by the Chinese Embassy Bangkok.
