- Client profile
- Thai national working full time in Thailand · cannot attend offices during working hours · Location: Chumphon Province
- Services used
- Thai civil registration and government paperwork + corporate and commercial law work
- Challenge
- It was unclear whether an apostille or embassy legalisation applied — the task was to make this set usable by the receiving authority in the United Kingdom in the required format.
- What we did
- draft a power of attorney that covers every step to be handled on the client's behalf
- prepare the translation using the official names the authorities themselves use
- compare the spelling of names against the passport and the main reference documents
- review each original document and produce a checklist of what to fix before filing
- Outcome and indicative timeline
- the risk points were corrected before filing, which reduced the number of revision rounds · several working days, depending on the queue at the authority
- What mattered most to the client
- detailed checking before filing to reduce the chance of a return
