Free border-match auditAnswers for people searching for document translation, certification, notarial attorney services and visa support near them: which steps require you in person, which can be handled by an authorised representative or by courier, and how the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA) and Lawyers Council rules apply. Fees depend on document type and destination — please ask our staff by phone, LINE or email. (14+ search topics covered)
Need your documents reviewed or your case assessed? Ask our team by phone, LINE, or email. We reply within two hours during business hours (Mon–Sat 9:00–18:00 ICT).
Most document work still has to be filed in person. A local team reduces the number of trips and resolves counter-level requests on the spot when officials ask for extra paperwork.
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.
A full company is not always required. Match the vehicle to the activity you will actually carry out.
| Route | When to use | Certifying authority | Approx. duration | Rejection risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Representative office | Only non-revenue activities such as sourcing and quality inspection | Department of Business Development | Variable — generally faster than a full business licence | Exceeding the permitted scope, such as issuing invoices, is a breach |
| Branch office of a foreign company | You need to contract and earn revenue in Thailand under the parent entity | Department of Business Development and the Revenue Department | Highly variable, as a Foreign Business Licence is usually required | The parent is directly liable for branch obligations, unlike a subsidiary |
| Thai limited company as a subsidiary | You want a permanent structure, staff, and work permits | Department of Business Development, Revenue Department, Department of Employment | Registration is fast; the follow-on steps vary | Setting shareholding without checking work permit thresholds forces a later restructuring |
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 since 2015. 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.
Affidavits, financial statements and powers of attorney usually need notarisation abroad, government or embassy authentication, then Thai translation and legalisation by the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs.
Objectives registered with the Department of Business Development must cover the licensed activity. A mismatch forces an amendment of the affidavit first, typically costing weeks.
A promotion certificate carries incentives and shareholding conditions that differ from an ordinary company. Compare minimum investment, technology and employment conditions per activity before committing.
The Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 groups activities into Lists 1–3 with different conditions. Define the real activity first, then pick the route: licence, certificate, treaty right, or a BOI promotion certificate.
Holding shares on behalf of a foreigner without genuine investment breaches the Foreign Business Act, and the source of Thai shareholders' funds can be examined. We do not assist with such structures.
Many licences involve a site visit. Filing without signage, floor plans or required sanitation results in a correction order and a new inspection date.
Parent-company affidavits and powers of attorney often have a validity period from issue. A slow legalisation chain can expire them before filing, forcing a fresh set.
If directors change mid-process, the affidavit and power of attorney must be updated to match, otherwise the application is rejected at intake.
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.
These topics reflect the rules and practice of the relevant authorities and can change. Confirm 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.
Authority requirements change. Verify with the receiving authority before filing, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
