Anyone submitting a marriage certificate in support of a visa application, a civil-status registration, an employment file, or a court or registry filing in Kuwait is normally required to submit both the Thai original issued by District registrar (amphoe) or Bangkok district office and a properly certified translation.

Thailand acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027, so no Thai Apostille is issued yet, so no Apostille is issued in Thailand.
