Educational Document Attestation
Educational Document Attestation
Thai educational documents must be verified by the Ministry of Education (MOE) or the Office of the Higher Education Commission (OHEC) before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will legalize them. This verification confirms that the issuing institution is recognized by the Thai government and that the document is genuine.
The attestation chain for Thai educational documents follows a clear sequence: MOE/OHEC verification, MFA legalization, UAE Embassy attestation in Bangkok, and MOFA stamping in the UAE. Each step builds on the preceding authentication, and missing any step results in rejection at the next stage.
GreenAttest handles all types of Thai educational documents, from secondary school certificates (Matthayom 6) to bachelor's and master's degrees from both public and private Thai universities. We also process professional certificates and vocational diplomas from institutions under the Ministry of Education's oversight.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Request a bilingual (Thai-English) degree certificate from your university if one is available. This eliminates the translation step and saves 3-5 business days.
- Process your transcript alongside your degree certificate. UAE employers and licensing bodies consistently require both documents, and processing them together is more efficient.
- If you hold professional certifications from Thai professional bodies (Engineers Council of Thailand, Medical Council of Thailand, etc.), attest these alongside your degree for a complete professional documentation package.
