Authentication chain for Articles of Association / MOA bound for Myanmar
Myanmar is not (yet) a Hague Apostille member — therefore Articles of Association / MOA must pass through: Notary Public → MFA Thailand → Myanmar Embassy.
After MFA Thailand, the Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok must add their consular stamp before the document is usable abroad.
Our team refreshes Myanmar requirements quarterly to avoid bounce-back on format changes.
