When Will Thailand Accept Apostilles
Thailand deposited its instrument of accession on 30 June 2026, and the Apostille Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. Until that date, Chinese documents for Thailand still require consular legalization, not an Apostille.
Key Points
- Deposited: 30 June 2026
- Entry into force: 28 February 2027
- Before that date: consular legalization only
- After that date: Apostille applies
- Existing consular legalization stays valid while unexpired
Legal Basis
HCCH Thailand accession status.
