Thai Translation of Diplomas, Transcripts and Qualifications for Thai Universities, the Ministry of Education and Recognition in Georgia

Admission to Thai universities and exchange programs

Georgian applicants to Thai universities - Chulalongkorn, Mahidol, Thammasat, Kasetsart, Chiang Mai, Prince of Songkla, the Asian Institute of Technology and the international colleges of Mahidol, Thammasat and others, mostly to English-taught international programs in business, engineering, hospitality, public health and international relations - apply through each university's portal with the diploma and transcript in the original and in translation into English or Thai, proof of English, a statement of purpose and recommendation letters, and for undergraduate programs the Georgian school leaving certificate with national exam results, which the university assesses for equivalence to Mathayom 6. Universities accept certified translations at application and ask for legalized documents at enrollment for some programs; the non-immigrant ED visa requires the admission letter and proof of funds. Erasmus+ and bilateral exchanges between Thai and Georgian universities generate learning agreements, transcripts of records and enrollment letters in both directions. We translate the full Georgian packet in one business day and coordinate with Thai academic calendars, which start in August for most universities.

Georgian degrees for Thai employers, work permits and the Ministry of Education

A Georgian degree used in Thailand for a work permit through the Department of Employment, for teaching (the Teachers' Council of Thailand's provisional permits for foreign teachers require a bachelor's degree verified), for professional licensing or for further study is presented legalized through the consular chain with a Thai translation certified by the MFA, and the Ministry of Education's Office of the Higher Education Commission handles equivalence assessments where an employer or institution requires one. Georgians teaching in Thai schools, working in Thai hotels and dive centers, and taking positions with international companies in Bangkok are the largest group here. We translate the diploma, the Diploma Supplement and the transcript into Thai to the MFA's standard, with Georgian degree titles explained in a note, and run the legalization chain.

Thai degrees for recognition and work permits in Georgia

A Thai degree used in Georgia - for a work permit (a spa manager or a Thai chef with a hospitality or culinary degree, a Thai teacher of Thai language or massage), for admission to a Georgian master's program, or for recognition at the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement - must be legalized by the Thai MFA and the Georgian mission and translated into Georgian and notarized in Tbilisi. We translate the ปริญญาบัตร (degree certificate), the transcript (ใบแสดงผลการศึกษา) with its 4.0 GPA scale explained, and, when recognition is sought, course descriptions. Thai degree titles - ปริญญาตรี (bachelor), ปริญญาโท (master), ปริญญาเอก (doctorate), and the vocational ปวช. and ปวส. diplomas from technical and vocational colleges - are explained in a translator's note, and Buddhist Era graduation dates are converted. Thai universities issue English-language degree certificates alongside Thai ones, and when both exist we translate from the Thai and note the English.

Vocational and professional certificates

Vocational qualifications are the most frequent Thai education documents in Georgia: certificates of Thai traditional massage and spa therapy from the Ministry of Public Health and its registered schools, culinary certificates from vocational colleges and the Dusit Thani and other hospitality schools, hotel and tourism diplomas from Rajamangala and other universities, ปวช. and ปวส. vocational diplomas, and professional licenses under Thai law. Georgian work permit officers and the labor inspectorate need these translated with consistent terminology, and spa and restaurant employers need to know which certificates carry weight; we translate them, explain the issuing body in a note and advise employers. Georgian vocational certificates - hospitality, wine, culinary - are translated into Thai for Georgians working in Thailand's hospitality sector.

School certificates and student letters

Thai families in Tbilisi and Thai-Georgian families enroll children in international and Georgian schools with Thai school records (ปพ.1 transcripts and ใบรับรอง) translated; Georgian families moving to Thailand need Georgian school records translated into English or Thai for international and Thai schools. Students need enrollment letters and student status letters in the other language for visas, permits and banks. Thai and Georgian language proficiency certificates are translated for employers and universities.

Statements of purpose, recommendations, CVs and timing

Georgian applicants to Thai programs ask us to translate or edit statements of purpose and CVs in English, and to translate recommendation letters from Georgian professors while preserving the signature block; doctoral candidates need research proposals, thesis abstracts and publication lists translated, and researchers collaborating with Thai universities use our editors for articles. Native Thai and English editors with academic backgrounds handle these texts.

On timing: Thai university applications for the August intake run from December to May, the legalization chain for a Georgian diploma takes two to four weeks, Thai work permit processing varies, and the Georgian recognition of a Thai degree depends on the National Center's schedule. Start the legalization early, since the legalized diploma is reusable across the university, the employer and the Ministry, and ask for a digital certified translation first so you can upload it while the paper chain runs.
