Power of attorney signed in Thailand for use in United Arab Emirates
The UAE does not use the Apostille route for Thai documents, so the full legalisation chain still applies, and Arabic translations usually must come from a translator registered with the UAE Ministry of Justice.
| Destination is an Apostille party | No |
|---|---|
| Apostille and Thailand | Enters into force on 28 February 2027 |
| Steps in the chain | 3 steps, excluding the queue at the receiving body |
The certification chain step by step
- Sign before a Notarial Services Attorney.
- Certify at the Department of Consular Affairs, then legalise at the UAE embassy in Thailand.
- On arrival, attest at MOFAIC and translate into Arabic through a registered legal translator.
Common use cases
- Company setup and free zones
- Employment and work visas
- Dubai property transactions
Before you start
- Allow several weeks for the multi-layer chain.
- Check whether the recipient wants a single bilingual document.
Cautions and common rejection causes
- Arabic translations by translators not registered in the UAE are commonly refused.
- The Apostille route does not apply to the UAE.
We pre-check files to reduce the chance of rejection; the receiving authority alone decides acceptance.
