Authentication chain for Medical Certificate bound for Spain
Spain is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention — therefore Medical Certificate must pass through: Notary Public → MFA Thailand → Apostille (for Spain).
Once the MFA issues an Apostille, Spain accepts it directly — no further embassy step required, saving 1-2 weeks and embassy fees.
Our team refreshes Spain requirements quarterly to avoid bounce-back on format changes.
