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.

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.
