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