Why a Professional License / Practising Certificate must be legalized before use in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
The Professional License / Practising Certificate is a legal document issued by a Thai authority. When presented in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the receiving officer needs proof that both the document and the signing officer's seal are authentic. This process is called legalization — not just translation, but a chain of seals, signatures and consular attestation.
For Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: the file must pass through the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand. Then it must be stamped at the Embassy of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in Bangkok. We re-check destination requirements every two weeks to stay ahead of policy changes.
