Legal Context of Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia, with official languages KK, RU and ISO code KZ. It is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention 1961, in force since 2001-01-30, so an Apostille certificate replaces embassy attestation. Kazakhstan maintains an embassy in Bangkok; ILC liaises on your behalf every business day. Conversely, Thailand has an embassy in Kazakhstan that supports legalization of Kazakhstan-issued documents intended for use in Thailand through the same channel.
