Certification chain Malaysia requires
Malaysia is NOT a Hague Apostille member (full consular legalisation) — correct chain: 1) Thai MFA → 2) Malaysia embassy in Bangkok → 3) (sometimes) destination ministry in Malaysia
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 Energy & Construction docs: Energy Industry Act · Building Control Act · EIA/EHIA Regulations · Renewable Energy Adder.
