Answers for HR, legal and procurement teams preparing document packs for overseas assignments, branch registration, cross-border contracts and international tenders, covering certification sequencing, copy counts and deadline control. (25+ search topics covered)
Need your documents reviewed or your case assessed? Ask our team by phone, LINE, or email. We reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00, Sat 9:00–15:00, ICT).

Incorporating, opening a branch or closing a cross-border transaction requires a fully legalized corporate bundle, sequenced to match the deadlines of the receiving bank and registry.
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.
The structure chosen on day one determines work permits, shareholding limits, and reporting duties for the life of the business.
| Route | When to use | Certifying authority | Approx. duration | Rejection risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thai limited company with majority Thai shareholding | General business activities with no special privileges needed | Department of Business Development and the Revenue Department | Registration is fast; banking and follow-on licences vary | A shareholding structure that does not reflect reality carries serious legal exposure |
| BOI investment promotion | The activity is on the promoted list and majority foreign ownership is needed | Board of Investment (BOI) | Variable — weeks to months depending on the activity | Post-approval conditions must be maintained; missed reporting can cost the privileges |
| Foreign Business Licence | The activity sits on a restricted list and BOI does not apply | Department of Business Development, Ministry of Commerce | Highly variable — the longest of the three routes | Unclear source-of-funds evidence and business plans are the main cause of delay |
Timelines above are practical estimates from live casework and can change with each authority's policy; confirm with the receiving authority before booking travel. If you would rather not test routes by trial and error, our advisers can assess which route fits your case.
Our team has worked on cross-border documents, certified translation and government liaison for over 15 years. Most rejections we see are not caused by missing paperwork but by choosing the wrong route on day one, so we always start with a case assessment.
We look at your destination, purpose and deadline, then tell you which certification route applies — and which steps you can skip.
Name spelling, consistency across documents, document age and translation format are checked before anything reaches a counter.
We sequence the steps around your appointment or travel date and flag bottlenecks in advance.
We read the refusal reasons, identify the underlying cause, and plan a resubmission that answers what the authority asked for.
Rather not learn by trial and error? Send your case details and document photos for a review — reach us on LINE, phone or email during business hours.

Tax invoices, receipts and contracts should be filed systematically per accounting period to support any later audit.
Cross-border contracts should state which language version prevails and how disputes are resolved.
Mixed accounts complicate financial statements and tax explanations, and cause problems when bank evidence supports a visa or work permit.
Certificates submitted should be freshly issued and consistent with the current register, or the receiving authority will refuse them.
Changes of director, address or capital must be filed within the statutory period; omissions create mismatches that block other applications.
Assets in different countries may fall under different succession rules; ensure multiple wills do not contradict each other.
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.
