How do I legalise a Thai house registration (tabien baan) for use in Denmark?
Many destination forms say "Apostille", but documents issued in Thailand currently receive the MFA legalisation stamp instead
From daily filings at the Chaeng Watthana legalisation counter, Many destination forms say "Apostille", but documents issued in Thailand currently receive the MFA legalisation stamp instead. Receiving authorities treat it as equivalent once the destination embassy has counter-legalised it. We verify the destination country's current requirement before filing so your corporate documents and contracts are not rejected. Call 094-895-8999 to open an express 1–2 business-day file.
