GMP Certificate Attestation for Thailand from India

- 1 Indian Chamber of Commerce
- 2 MEA attestation
- 3 Thailand Embassy, New Delhi
Why Thailand asks for a legalised GMP certificate
A GMP or WHO-GMP certificate confirms that a manufacturing plant follows good manufacturing practice. Foreign regulators treat it as core evidence of quality when they register Indian medicines, devices, cosmetics and food supplements. GMP and WHO-GMP certificates are issued by Indian drug regulatory authorities after inspecting the manufacturing site.
Drug regulators across South-East and South Asia register many Indian medicines and typically ask for the regulatory certificates in a legalised form.
In Thailand, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Thai Food and Drug Administration. Legalised documents from India are typically part of the file for product registration with drug regulators, plant approval by importing authorities and tender qualification.
The GMP certificate issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Thailand in New Delhi.
In our processing experience, Indian documents for Thailand are legalised through the Royal Thai Embassy rather than by apostille.

Ministry of External Affairs
The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the GMP certificate, which the Thailand Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

No. Thailand does not accept the apostille for Indian commercial documents in practice, so the GMP certificate needs MEA attestation and legalisation by the Thailand Embassy in New Delhi.

It depends on the schedules of the chamber, the MEA and the Thailand Embassy at the time. We confirm a timeline in writing before you courier the GMP certificate, and can plan around shipment or registration deadlines.
Is there anything special about Thailand?
In our processing experience, Indian documents for Thailand are legalised through the Royal Thai Embassy rather than by apostille.

No. Both follow the same chamber, MEA and embassy or apostille route. Regulators abroad often prefer WHO-GMP for registration.
