document checklist
Before visiting our office or arranging a pickup in Germany, please prepare the following — our case coordinator will verify completeness before starting the process:
- Valid Thai national ID card or non-expired passport (for foreigners — including the latest visa stamp or entry stamp)
- If the document is in a foreign language, an official translation by a registered translator is required — we offer combined translation + notary if needed
- If using a representative, attach a power of attorney with a 30 THB stamp duty plus a copy of the representative's ID
- House registration (Tabien Baan) or current address proof in เยอรมนี / Germany (driver licence, utility bill is acceptable)
- Original documents to be certified, plus one photocopy — do not staple them together before submission
- Family-status evidence such as marriage certificate or birth certificate when the document relates to family status
