Sending a donation from Thailand to an overseas organisation in Switzerland — what translation and certification is expected?

The matter being asked about is “Sending a donation from Thailand to an overseas organisation in Switzerland”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The specifics here are purpose: Sendfund; destination: Ch, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Sending · donation · Thailand · overseas. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. What sets this case apart is the number of certified sets and the window in which they must be used. Before starting, confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Foundation articles list objectives clause by clause; translate them in order without merging. Donation receipts state the amount and the date received; keep the date format unambiguous. Cross-border donation files often require source-of-funds evidence, so prepare it in advance. Constitutions and board resolutions are the most closely read documents, so keep the original clause and paragraph structure in translation. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. A Thai document for use abroad is translated in full, including stamps and signatures, then submitted for certification to the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the destination country's embassy or consulate where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued for Thai documents. A document issued overseas — a charity status certificate, a grant agreement or a donor's power of attorney — is used in Thailand only after certification in the country of origin under that country's system, then by the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate there. It is then translated into Thai and the translation is certified by the Department of Consular Affairs before it is filed with a Thai body or a Thai bank. ILC handles documents only: translation, certified translation, coordinating a notarial services attorney and running certification at the Department of Consular Affairs and embassies. It is not a tax adviser, an auditor or a fundraising agent, it does not warrant that any organisation will be announced as a public charitable organisation, and it guarantees no decision by the Revenue Department, the foundation and association registrar, AMLO, a bank, a grant-maker or any foreign authority. Cost and lead time depend on page count, how many certified sets are needed, the target language and the steps the receiving party requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
