Authentication chain for Academic Transcript bound for Thailand
Thailand is not (yet) a Hague Apostille member — therefore Academic Transcript must pass through: Notary Public → MFA Thailand → Thailand Embassy.
After MFA Thailand, the Thailand Embassy in Bangkok must add their consular stamp before the document is usable abroad.
Note: Uses the consular legalization chain via MFA Thailand before the destination embassy
