Dear readers,

Is there anyone who can tell me approximately what it costs to have both birth and acknowledgment certificates translated from Thai into English. To be able to declare this in the Netherlands as well. Can I have this done at the Dutch embassy in Bangkok?

I would have to have both deeds translated, then via the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then to the Dutch embassy.

Your reaction please.

Regards,

Thaiaddict

    Translation, checking minus foreign affairs and embassy approximately 100 euros per A4.
    translate day 1
    day 2 control minus foreign affairs hand in before 8 a.m. pick up after 15.00 p.m.
    day 3 make an appointment with the embassy (make sure you have an envelope with a 50 bath stamp)
    Delivered 4 days later at home in Thailand.
    good luck John

    When you go to the Foreign Affairs Department of Thailand in Bangkok to have things checked for truthful translation and stamped, there are several motorcycle couriers from translation agencies outside who fly back and forth and return with the translation within about an hour (price was in 2010 400 Baht as far as I remember).
    Please provide a copy and keep the originals.

    Why not in Dutch? Please note that the original document must be legalized at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which costs Bt200. per page, express service 400 Bt. You will have the documents available by 14 p.m. Monday, otherwise the next day. I don't remember any recent prices for translations

    Opposite the Dutch embassy there is a small visa or travel agency that arranges these kinds of things flawlessly for you, translates, legalizes and, if desired, sends them to your home address.
    I don't know the exact cost at the moment, but I estimate a few thousand thb.
    You don't have to walk with it yourself and excellent service is my many years of experience.
    And congratulations on your fatherhood.

    Why declare in the Netherlands? If the child does not live there, this is not even possible. I arranged Dutch nationality for my daughter in Thailand with the help of a birth certificate and through children's authorities and the court, I am not married, and received the recognition certificate in Thailand. Went to the embassy to apply for a passport = Dutch nationality. And so we live in Thailand
    Translations cost 4 baht per A400 form.

      Small addition: if you are not married, you need a certificate of recognition to be recognized as a father. This is what the embassy, ​​the Netherlands, asks to prove that you are the father. And then your child is entitled to Dutch nationality. Since you know what a certificate of recognition is, you take the legalized translations to the embassy for a passport application.

      As a Dutch citizen, you are also obliged to register your foreign child in the Netherlands. In addition, it is wise to also declare the birth certificate in The Hague for national tasks. If the child later comes to live in the Netherlands, it can always go there for copies, etc.

      • Jer says up

        You are only obliged to declare it if your child lives in the Netherlands. If you live abroad, you will first have to prove that you are the father or mother by means of a local birth certificate if you are married and, if you are an unmarried father, therefore with a certificate of acknowledgment. You can then have it registered in The Hague, but that is voluntary and of no value whatsoever. And possibly apply for Dutch nationality using the birth certificate and any certificate of recognition. The child can simply stay abroad with Dutch nationality.

        • Jer says up

          The national government says that voluntary registration in The Hague is only possible with a person with Dutch nationality. So you can apply for Dutch nationality at the embassy with the help of legalized documents. If this child later goes to live in the Netherlands, it must register in the municipality where the child is settled.
