If you have documents to be used in Thailand, it is necessary to legalize them. It is a relatively time-consuming process, with each document being certified by approximately 6 authorities in Slovakia and subsequently also in Vienna. Below in the article, you will learn what the procedure is for some types of documents. You will also learn what a legalized document looks like.
It is important that the documents are certified step by step in the steps they are supposed to follow, otherwise you will not be able to send the document to the Thai embassy for final certification, which is the last step in the process. The Thai embassy for Slovakia is located in Vienna, so the last step is headed there.
