Attestation route for Thailand
Thailand has joined the Hague Apostille Convention, but it only takes effect for Thailand on 28 February 2027. Until then an apostille is not accepted and documents need MEA attestation followed by attestation at the Thailand Embassy in New Delhi.
Typical timeline: 10–20 working days. We confirm an exact estimate for your specific document and issuing state before you commit.
Thailand works in Thai, so documents in English often need a certified translation into Thai as well. Where one is required it is normally legalised alongside the original rather than afterwards, and we confirm whether yours needs one before the file is submitted.
One practical point: the mission normally closes on Thailand’s national day (December 5) as well as on Indian public holidays. If your deadline is tight, that is worth allowing for.
