Detailed Answer
Thailand acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026, bringing it to 130 Contracting Parties; it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. The Department of Consular Affairs (MFA) at Chaeng Watthana, Bangkok is the Competent Authority. Professional fees are quoted after the documents and required steps are reviewed. Standard processing is 3–5 business days; The Apostille replaces the old two-step MFA + foreign-embassy legalization for the 125+ Hague countries (USA, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Korea, China-HK, etc. ). For non-Hague countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam) traditional consular legalization is still required.
