Trong nháy mắt — chọn cái nào
Các lựa chọn dễ nhầm nhất về notary, visa, dịch thuật và hợp pháp hóa được so sánh rõ ràng (10 chủ đề).
Apostille vs MFA Legalization — what's the difference?
Apostille is a single-step certificate under the 1961 Hague Convention, valid in ~125 member states without further consular legalisation. MFA Legalisation is Thailand's consular certification used for non-Hague destinations — typically followed by a second step at the destination embassy (double legalisation).
Notary Public vs Certified True Copy — Thai context
A Thai Notary is a Lawyers Council–licensed attorney empowered to certify signatures, oaths, affidavits, and copies for cross-border use. A Certified True Copy is simply a 'true copy' endorsement by the document owner or staff — valid domestically but with no international legal weight on its own.
NAATI vs Sworn Translation
NAATI is Australia's national translator/interpreter accreditation — required for documents submitted to Australian and NZ authorities. A Sworn Translation is performed by a court-appointed translator, common in civil-law countries (Germany, France, Spain). Thailand has no statutory sworn-translator registry.
LTR Visa vs Thailand Privilege (Elite Visa)
LTR is a BOI 10-year visa (5+5) for 4 groups: wealthy global citizens, pensioners, work-from-Thailand professionals, highly-skilled. Includes 17% PIT rate and bundled work permit. Thailand Privilege is a paid 5–20 year membership visa, no work rights, no tax break, fees 650k–5M THB.
DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) vs ED Visa
DTV is a 5-year multiple-entry visa (2024+) for digital nomads, workationers, Muay Thai/cooking students, and family caretakers — 180 days per entry. ED Visa is the classic student visa tied to a MOE-licensed school, with 90-day extensions.
Work Permit vs Non-B (Business Visa)
Non-B is the right to STAY in Thailand for business, issued by a Thai embassy. Work Permit is the right to WORK, issued by the Department of Employment. Both are required to work legally — neither alone is enough.
Marriage Registration in Thailand vs Abroad
In Thailand: register at any district office (amphoe). The foreign spouse needs an Affirmation of Freedom to Marry from their embassy, translated and legalised by MFA. Abroad: marriage follows local law; the certificate must then be translated, Apostilled/legalised, and recognised in Thailand.
Thailand vs Foreign Police Clearance Certificate
A Thai PCC is issued by the Royal Thai Police Forensic Science Centre and requires fingerprints from a Thai police/immigration station. A Foreign PCC follows the issuing country's system. Both typically require Apostille/legalisation for cross-border use.
Thai Limited vs BOI-Promoted Company
A standard Thai Ltd requires ≥51% Thai shareholding and cannot operate FBA-restricted activities. A BOI-promoted company can be 100% foreign-owned, gets a favourable foreign-employee ratio (1 foreigner per THB 2M capital), and may enjoy 3–8 years of CIT exemption.
Affidavit vs Statutory Declaration
An Affidavit is a sworn statement made under oath before a Notary or court — carries evidentiary weight; false statements expose the deponent to perjury. A Statutory Declaration is a Commonwealth-style declaration made under statute, used out of court, with lesser penalties for falsehood.
