Certification chain Spain requires
Spain is a Hague Apostille Convention member — correct chain: 1) Thai MFA → 2) Apostille → 3) usable in Spain immediately (no embassy step)
Thailand's accession to the Hague Apostille Convention enters into force on 28 February 2027 — for member states Apostille is dramatically faster.
Regulatory references typically cited in Hospitality & Tourism docs: พรบ.โรงแรม · Tourism Business Act · Liquor Control Act · Foreign Business Act.
