Can I use my home-country documents in Thailand as they are?
Short answer
Generally no. Foreign public documents normally need authentication in the issuing country and a Thai translation before a Thai office will accept them.
Since 22 December 2024 the HCCH Apostille Convention is in force for Thailand, so documents from other contracting states commonly carry an apostille instead of a consular legalisation chain. Documents from non-contracting states still follow the legalisation route.
The receiving Thai office has the final say on format, recency and translation certification, so we confirm its requirements before any document is ordered from abroad.
