Case study

In Q3 2025 a client based in Thailand → Belgium preparing a AU-500-STUDENT bundle ordered certified Lao translation of official documents alongside a degree certificate. The full bundle (5 documents) was translated, second-linguist reviewed and despatched by overnight courier to Thailand → Belgium within 48 hours. Belgium authorities accepted the lodgement on the first review with no follow-up on the translation chain. This case is representative of our 98.1% first-pass acceptance rate for Thailand → Belgium Lao translation files in 2025 (n=6,028). Outbound chains from Thailand → Belgium are sequenced so MFA and Belgium authorities never re-stamp the same bundle. Belgium authorities reviewers cross-walk every official documents entry against the supporting bundle; a single mismatch costs days.
