Filing documents into Switzerland has destination-specific quirks. Swiss State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) · Swiss Embassy Bangkok requires every document translated into Deutsch / Français / Italiano by a registered translator, notarised by a Notary Public, then legalised by Thailand's MFA Department of Consular Affairs before stamping at the สวิสประจำประเทศไทย in Bangkok. Switzerland is a Hague Apostille party, but since Thailand is NOT, Thai-issued documents still need full MFA + embassy legalization.

Why Choose NYC Visa & Translation

How to choose the right Thai Company Registration & Corporate Structuring provider in Thailand

Choosing the right Thai Company Registration & Corporate Structuring provider directly impacts the success and turnaround of your case. NYC Visa & Translation has worked with Department of Business Development (DBD), Ministry of Commerce since 2010, handling a broad real-world caseload across government documents, certified translations, and documents intended for use abroad. Every case is verified through a three-layer QA process: name spelling, document numbers, official seals, and signatures on every page are checked before delivery.

Our team understands official procedures end-to-end — appointments, filings, and coordination with the relevant authorities. You do not have to travel back and forth or risk rejection. Our Thai Company Registration & Corporate Structuring service supports Express handling that completes in half the standard turnaround.

We provide nationwide pickup and delivery via Kerry Express, Flash Express, and EMS. Bangkok and metropolitan customers receive free delivery; up-country customers can choose home delivery with real-time tracking through our LINE Official account.

Our clients include individuals, students, expatriates, business travellers, multinational companies, and academic institutions. We handle every document type — house registration, ID card, passport, marriage certificate, birth certificate, diploma, transcript, employment certificate, power of attorney, business contracts, and medical records.

Our Thai Company Registration & Corporate Structuring workflow runs in six clear stages: (1) receive originals and copies, (2) QA-audit the source for issues that would cause rejection, (3) translate through a native-speaker linguist, (4) certify with the authority required by the receiving country, (5) file and follow up at each government touchpoint, and (6) deliver plus retain a signed PDF you can re-download for five years. A single Case Officer owns your file end-to-end, eliminating hand-off errors that plague larger firms.

We invest continuously in compliance practices aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 (information security), Thailand PDPA (personal-data protection), and AES-256 file encryption. Every upload runs over TLS 1.3 only. Enterprise and law-firm clients can request an NDA before intake — our legal team signs same-day.

Beyond single-document work, we bundle end-to-end packages for clients preparing multiple certificates at once — e.g. a "moving abroad" bundle (house registration + birth + marriage + diploma + transcript with MFA + embassy) that reduces the number of trips and total lead time versus filing each item separately. Approval remains at the discretion of the receiving authority; contact our team for scope and fees.

What sets us apart is a 15-year direct working relationship with the destination authority — Department of Business Development (DBD), Ministry of Commerce — so we anticipate regulation changes, format tweaks, and queue timing before they hit your case, and brief you in advance. Approval outcomes always remain at the sole discretion of the authority; what we control is document completeness, formatting and lodgement timing.

Service Knowledge Base

Thai corporate documents (DBD / Revenue Department) for overseas use

Answers on translating and certifying Thai corporate records — company affidavit, shareholder list (BorJor.5), memorandum of association, VAT certificate (PP.20) and financial statements — for foreign counterparties, banks and authorities, following DBD/Revenue Department issuance and MFA Legalization Division practice. (22+ search topics covered)

Should the company name be translated or transliterated?

The registered Thai name is the legal identity, so the translation reproduces it and shows the registered English name exactly as recorded with the Department of Business Development where one exists. Inventing an English rendering that differs from the register creates a mismatch between the extract, the bank record and the contract, which is one of the most common reasons a corporate file is returned.

Do financial statements have to be translated in full?

It depends on the recipient. Some accept the balance sheet, income statement and auditor's report; others require all notes. Partial translations must state clearly in the certification which sections were translated.

English or the destination language?

It depends on the recipient. Some accept English; others require their official language, and a few require a translator accredited in their own country. Confirm before translating to avoid repeating the certification chain.

How are board or shareholder resolutions certified for use abroad?

An authorised director certifies the copy and affixes the company seal, a Notarial Services Attorney then certifies that director's signature, and the document proceeds to consular legalisation where the recipient requires it. The resolution itself should state clearly what was approved, the meeting date, the quorum and who is authorised to execute related documents, because recipients check that the authority asserted matches the company affidavit.

Do shareholder lists need to be legalised in full?

Usually yes, including every page and any annexes, because the recipient verifies shareholding percentages against the total. Partial submission of only the first page is frequently refused. Where the list runs to many pages, the translation should be paginated to match and each page cross-referenced to the extract so the reviewer can confirm nothing has been omitted.

Can a branch office use the parent company's legalised documents?

Often only in part. Registrars and banks typically want the parent's constitutional documents legalised in the country of issue, plus Thai-issued evidence of the branch itself. Reusing a legalised set prepared for a different purpose is risky because the recency limit and the required document list differ per authority. Confirm each authority's list separately before reusing anything.

How is a Thai company affidavit prepared for overseas use?

Obtain a current extract from the Department of Business Development bearing the registrar's signature and seal, prepare a translation into English or the destination language, then obtain consular legalisation from the Department of Consular Affairs and, where required, authentication by the destination country's embassy in Thailand. Because banks and foreign registries usually impose a recency limit on registry extracts, time the extract close to your actual submission date rather than obtaining it far in advance.

Should financial statements be audited before translation?

If the recipient asks for audited accounts, use the version signed by a licensed auditor together with the auditor's report, and translate the complete set including the notes. Translating only the balance sheet without the notes is a common rejection: foreign reviewers rely on the notes to understand accounting policies. Verify that every figure matches the source cell by cell and keep the table structure so a reviewer can compare line by line.

Corporate documents — affidavits, shareholder lists and financials for overseas use

Company records for foreign use must be freshly issued by the Department of Business Development and then translated and legalised for the destination. Most destinations accept them only within about six months of issue.

Documents to prepare

  • Freshly issued company affidavit from the DBD
  • Shareholder list (Bor Or Jor 5)
  • Memorandum and articles of association
  • Audited financial statements
  • Board minutes or resolutions relevant to the transaction
  • Power of attorney signed by authorised directors

Step-by-step process

  1. 1. Obtain fresh extracts Reissue the affidavit and shareholder list close to filing.
  2. 2. Translate with consistent legal terminology Keep officer titles and business objectives uniform across the bundle.
  3. 3. Certify director signatures Sign before a Notarial Services Attorney where the destination requires it.
  4. 4. Run the legalisation chain Department of Consular Affairs, then the destination-specific final step.

Pitfalls and rejection causes

  • Affidavits older than the destination's window are commonly refused.
  • Inconsistent translation of business objectives raises questions at foreign banks.
  • Resolutions must align with the signing authority shown in the affidavit.
  • Never separate a bound, cross-sealed set.

Tips from our team

  • Maintain a reusable corporate glossary for consistency.
  • Reissue extracts as close to submission as practical.
  • Prepare separate sets per destination for multi-jurisdiction deals.

Prefer not to handle the queues yourself, or worried about a rejection? Send us photos of your documents for a free pre-check. We handle the full chain — obtaining certified copies, translation, certification and submission — and keep you updated at each step. Reach us on LINE, phone or email during business hours.

Advisory Service

We do not just process documents — we advise you through the whole case

Practical Q&A

Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents

What is the route for Thai company documents used abroad?

Obtain the company affidavit, shareholder list (BorJor 5) or latest memorandum from the Department of Business Development, translate into the language the destination requires, then legalise at the Legalization Division of the Department of Consular Affairs. If the destination is not an Apostille Convention party, the destination country's embassy certifies last.

Must the company affidavit be freshly issued?

Most receiving authorities set a validity window counted from the registrar's issue date, commonly measured in months. Check the recipient's requirement before ordering copies: filing an out-of-date affidavit is a frequent rejection cause, and legalisation cannot revive an expired document.

How is a corporate power of attorney certified?

An authorised director signs before a Notarial Services Attorney, attaching a current company affidavit that evidences signing authority. The signed POA then goes to the Department of Consular Affairs and, where required, the destination embassy. Ask our team by phone, LINE or email for the order that applies to your country.
Practical advice & cautions

Business, tax and legal work: advice and cautions

Before you start
  • Separate personal and company banking

    Mixed accounts complicate financial statements and tax explanations, and cause problems when bank evidence supports a visa or work permit.

  • Fix the structure before registration

    Shareholding, objectives and required licences should be settled before filing; later changes require amendment filings and extra time.

  • Assess tax residence before planning

    Liability depends on tax residence and any applicable double-tax agreement; evaluate before moving funds or receiving cross-border income.

  • Keep complete source documents

    Tax invoices, receipts and contracts should be filed systematically per accounting period to support any later audit.

Common reasons documents get rejected
  • Wills that ignore cross-border assets

    Assets in different countries may fall under different succession rules; ensure multiple wills do not contradict each other.

  • Late statutory or tax filings

    Late filing triggers statutory surcharges and penalties and can affect renewal of foreign executives' work permits.

  • Failing to file changes

    Changes of director, address or capital must be filed within the statutory period; omissions create mismatches that block other applications.

  • Treating a contract translation as legal advice

    A translation conveys wording but does not assess legal risk. Have a lawyer review the substance before signing.

Requirements differ by authority and destination country and can change. Confirm current conditions with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

One document set often moves through several stages — translation, notarial certification, legalization and finally a visa filing. The links below follow that real sequence.

Choosing a document translation provider in Thailand

Pick a translation provider by the destination, not by turnaround alone. If the file goes to the Thai Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy, the translator must know the format that office accepts, not just the meaning. Verify three things: the certifier is named and identifiable, the destination accepts that certification format, and names, dates and document numbers match the passport character for character.

How to evaluate a provider

  • The certifier is named and identifiableConsular offices and embassies check who certified the translation, not only the wording.
  • Knows the format the destination acceptsEach embassy differs: attached source copy, letterhead, or prior consular legalization.
  • Character-level verificationMismatched name spelling and dates against the passport is the most common rejection cause.
  • Owns corrections after rejectionSubmissions run on appointment dates; slow corrections cost the applicant the slot.
  • Documented custody of originalsSome civil registry documents are hard to reissue, so intake and return must be traceable.

Questions to ask before you commit

  1. How many working days does it actually take, counted from a complete file?
  2. If the receiving authority rejects or asks for changes, do you correct it, and under what terms?
  3. How can I track status, and who physically holds the original documents?
  4. Who will certify this translation, and will the certifier be named on the document?
  5. Does my destination require consular or embassy legalization afterwards?

Your options, and who each suits

OptionBest forWhat to know
Freelance translatorInformal use where no authority certification is requiredMany embassies will not accept an uncertified translation.
Translation agency with certificationVisa, study and civil registry filingsConfirm the agency also handles the legalization step if the destination requires it.
End-to-end provider (translate + legalize)Files with a fixed appointment deadlineAsk which steps are in-house and which are subcontracted.

FAQ on choosing a provider

Which translation service is recommended for embassy submissions?
Choose one that names the certifier on the translation, knows the exact format your embassy accepts, and verifies names and dates against the passport before certifying. Ask whether they also handle consular legalization so the file does not stall between two vendors.
Does a cheaper translation get rejected more often?
Rejection correlates with format and verification, not price. A translation is rejected when the certifier cannot be identified, the layout does not match the receiving office's requirement, or a name or date differs from the passport.
