Why Tamil Nadu diplomas need apostille or attestation
Tamil Nadu has one of India’s biggest polytechnic systems, and its diploma holders work as technicians, nurses and engineers in Singapore, Malaysia, the Gulf and Europe. Families in Ramanathapuram, Thanjavur, Tiruchirappalli, Madurai and Chennai send a steady stream of workers abroad.
Singapore and most of Europe are Hague Convention members, so they accept the MEA apostille. Malaysia, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are not, so they need MEA attestation and embassy legalisation.
