List of Hague Convention Countries

๐Ÿ“… On the date of 5th October 1961, this group was formed and they made a law to legalize foreign documents. The main purpose of this law was to ensure that๐Ÿšซ no one can go to overseas countries using fake documents.

๐Ÿ’ก For example, if you are working in an overseas country and want to take your family on a dependent visa then the authorities of that country wonโ€™t know if the marriage certificate is original or not. They don't even know if you are ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘ฆ genuinely calling your wife on a dependent visa.

๐Ÿ” Because of these reasons, a law has been created so that you need to complete an๐Ÿ“„ apostille procedure marriage certificate from the home country where the document was originally issued.

โœ…So that the authorities of the foreign country can determine that the marriage certificate is original and not the wrong person is going to come on a family visa.

๐ŸŒ Most Indian people prefer to go to countries like ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท France, ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑPoland, ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italy, ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น Austria, ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Netherland, ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany, ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ Oman, ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ Philippines, ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น Portugal,' ' and ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช Belgium based on work visas ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿ’ผ or student visas๐ŸŽ“.
