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