Which documents need NAATI translation for a Partner visa (820/801)?

In-depth Answer

Partner visa files are scrutinised more closely than most, because the officer must assess a genuine relationship across four dimensions: financial, household, social recognition, and commitment.

Thai civil records commonly requested include the marriage certificate or Kor Ror 2, house registration, ID card, birth certificate, name-change records, and — if either party was married before — the divorce decree or the former spouse's death certificate.

The most frequent stumbling block is a name spelling that differs between passport and translation, so send both partners' passport bio pages to the translator before work starts and lock one spelling across the whole bundle.

Thai-language relationship evidence such as joint leases, joint bank records or statutory letters from relatives also needs translating if you want it counted.

Grouping the bundle under those four dimensions with an index measurably speeds up assessment.
