On 9 December 2025, the Cabinet passed a resolution approving Thailand’s accession to the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, which is one of the key conventions under the framework of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH). Accession to this Convention will help reduce procedures and costs related to document legalisation, thereby providing greater convenience for members of the public and the business sector necessitating document legalisation.

The Ministry will proceed to deposit the instrument of accession with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, in its capacity as the depository of the Convention, in order for the Convention to enter into force for Thailand. The success of this accession is a result of the work driven by the Sub-committee on the Consideration of Accession to the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. This body is chaired by Ambassador Vilawan Mangklatanakul and operates under the National Committee on the Implementation of Thailand’s Membership to the HCCH, chaired by the Minister of Justice.
