Certification and Legalisation
In order to be valid in Bulgaria and recognized by the Bulgarian institution any documents issued by the authorities in Thailand must bear the stamp of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After that they should be certified by the embassy of Thailand in Bucharest, Romania. The signature and certification of the embassy of Thailand in Bucharest should be certified at the consular service of the embassy of Bulgaria there.
The documents should then be translated into Bulgarian by an authorised translation agency in Bulgaria and certified by the Certifications and legalisations department of the Ministry of foreign affairs.
Emergency Travel Document
In emergency cases, upon damaged, lost or stolen passport, Bulgarian citizens may apply to a Bangkok-based EU member-state embassy for having an Emergency Travel Document issued.
