Q1102. Which Thai documents must be NAATI translated for Subclass 189 and 190 skilled visas?

Answered by NAATI Certified Practitioner · NYC Visa & Translation

For Subclass 189 and 190 applications, Thai-language evidence generally needs English translation, but not every translation must universally be NAATI-certified. The Department of Home Affairs distinguishes requirements according to where the translator works, while skills assessors and state or territory nomination bodies may impose separate rules. Common documents include birth and marriage certificates, name change records, police certificates, qualifications, transcripts, employment references, and supporting financial or employment records. Translate the documents actually requested for your occupation and circumstances, rather than an assumed fixed list. Check all three relevant checklists before ordering: Home Affairs, your skills assessing authority, and, for Subclass 190, the nominating state or territory.
