Jordan Document Translation & Legalization for Use in Thailand

Legal Context of Jordan

Jordan is located in Middle East, with official languages AR and ISO code JO. It is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention 1961, so Thai documents destined for Jordan must undergo Full Legalization via Thailand MFA plus attestation at the Jordan embassy in Bangkok. Jordan maintains an embassy in Bangkok; ILC liaises on your behalf every business day. Conversely, Thailand has an embassy in Jordan that supports legalization of Jordan-issued documents intended for use in Thailand through the same channel.
