Thailand has acceded to the Apostille Convention, but HCCH lists entry into force on 28 February 2027. Until entry into force and Thai receiving-authority acceptance are confirmed, Indian documents for Thai use go through Notary, SDM or State HRD or Home, MEA attestation, then Royal Thai Embassy attestation in New Delhi. Thai translation by an MFA-Thailand-approved translator is often required for marriage registration, work permit, and many Thai-authority submissions.

NRI Document Legalisation Service From India
For a Thailand file, we can start with scans while the originals remain with family in India. After confirming the recipient's route, we coordinate pickup, the accepted state and MEA steps, and return delivery.
See the NRI document legalisation serviceThailand: route, translation and receiving authority
Thailand is an Asian destination where the live document route matters more than a headline country label. Indian documents for use in Thailand currently go through the full embassy steps unless the Thai recipient confirms apostille acceptance: Notary, then SDM or State HRD or Home Department depending on document type, then MEA attestation in New Delhi, then attestation by the Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi. Most submissions also need Thai translation.
HCCH lists Thailand with entry into force on 28 February 2027. We track that date because the sequence may shorten from embassy attestation to MEA apostille once the Convention is active and Thai receiving authorities actually accept apostille for the customer's use case. Until then, any agency selling automatic "Thailand apostille" is taking a risk with the customer's deadline.
The busiest Thailand desks are work permit applications (the Non-Immigrant B visa, followed by the work permit issued by Thailand's Department of Employment), marriage registration at a Thai district office (where Indians marrying a Thai national need apostille-equivalent attestation on Single Status and Birth certificates plus Thai translation), retirement visa (Non-Immigrant O-A for over-50s with income proof), and education at international schools and Thai universities.
Marriage registration in Thailand is where Indian families most often get caught. The Thai district office (amphur) wants the Single Status Affidavit and Birth Certificate attested all the way through Notary, SDM or Home, MEA, Royal Thai Embassy New Delhi, then translated into Thai by an MFA-approved translator in Thailand. Skip any step and the amphur sends the documents back, sometimes weeks later, after you have already paid for travel.

Thailand: route decision before originals move

Apostille Convention entry into force is listed for 28 February 2027
India-side endpoint
Until the new route is active and accepted, confirm the existing Thai mission process
Translation decision
Thai translation only after checking the district office, university or employer requirement
Avoid this mistake
Do not switch an active case to apostille solely because accession has been announced.
India side, by city & state
Where your Thailand case usually starts in India
Indian-side authentication is state-led: educational documents go through your degree's issuing state HRD, and personal documents go through SDM or the Home Department of your domicile state. These are the state HRDs and city pickup pages most Thailand cases actually run through.

How SiZA Global Handles It
Checks before sending Thailand documents
MEA apostille alone is not enough for Thailand unless the Thai recipient confirms apostille acceptance. The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi commonly has to attest the document.
HCCH lists Thailand entry into force on 28 February 2027. Until entry into force and receiving-authority acceptance are confirmed, do not buy automatic Thailand apostille.
For marriage registration in Thailand: Single Status Affidavit and Birth Certificate need the end-to-end work (Notary, SDM or Home, MEA, Royal Thai Embassy) plus Thai translation on the Thai side.
For work permit, the Non-Immigrant B visa comes first (at the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate), then the work permit is issued in Thailand by the Department of Employment after arrival. Attested degree, transcript, and experience certificates are common input documents.
Retirement visa (Non-Immigrant O-A) is for applicants 50 and above with income proof. Document attestation may be light; the income and insurance side is heavy.
Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa for high-income Indian remote workers, retirees, and wealthy applicants is run through the Board of Investment (BOI). Degree and PCC legalisation may be part of the case.

Thailand document questions
Does Thailand accept MEA apostille from India?
Thailand has acceded to the Apostille Convention, but HCCH lists entry into force on 28 February 2027. Until entry into force and Thai receiving-authority acceptance are confirmed, Indian documents for Thai use should still be treated as Royal Thai Embassy attestation work after the India-side steps, not apostille-only work.
When will Thailand start accepting apostille?
HCCH lists Thailand entry into force on 28 February 2027. SiZA will update the route when apostille acceptance is active and the Thai recipient accepts it for the specific document and use case.
I am marrying a Thai citizen in Thailand. What documents do I need?
For marriage registration at the Thai district office (amphur), Indian applicants typically need a Single Status Affidavit and Birth Certificate attested through Notary, SDM or Home Department, MEA, then Royal Thai Embassy New Delhi. After arrival in Thailand, both documents are translated into Thai by an MFA-Thailand-approved translator on the Thai side. The amphur is strict about each stamp being present. We prepare the India-side steps end to end.
I have already paid for MEA apostille on my Thailand documents. Will it work?
It may not work unless the Thai recipient has confirmed apostille acceptance for your exact use case. Many Thailand files still need the appropriate MEA attestation stamp and Royal Thai Embassy attestation. If you call us before sending originals, we will tell you which sequence applies to your specific document and Thai recipient.
