Africa Embassies & Legalisation
Africa is a mixed landscape — some countries follow Apostille while others still operate full Legalisation. Always verify the destination's status first.
Legalisation workflow for Africa
- Prepare originals plus certified translation in the accepted language (English or the country's official language)
- Notarise translation with a Notary Public attorney
- Submit to the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Chaeng Watthana)
- For Apostille Convention members the workflow ends at MFA Apostille
- For non-Apostille destinations, complete the chain at the destination's embassy in Bangkok
