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 E-commerce & Retail docs: พรบ.ขายตรงและตลาดแบบตรง · Consumer Protection Act · DBD e-Commerce Registration · VAT cross-border.
