Do documents from Peru need an apostille or legalisation?
Peru is a party to the Apostille Convention. Thailand acceded on 30 June 2026 and the Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027; until then documents from Peru still need Thai embassy legalisation, and from that date an apostille is expected to suffice.
