The textile side of Surat – the Ring Road markets and the Pandesara, Sachin and Hazira industrial zones – has its own links with Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and the Gulf. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka handle foreign documents differently, so ask us before you send anything for those countries; for most Western and Gulf destinations the choice is simply apostille (Europe, North America, Saudi Arabia, Oman) or attestation (UAE, Qatar, Kuwait).
