8 corporate acts — which authority owns it, which record proves it, and what it does not prove

This table reads Book III Title XXII of the Civil and Commercial Code, the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542, the Investment Promotion Act B.E. 2520, the Accounting Act B.E. 2543, the Revenue Code, and the published functions of DBD, BOI, the Revenue Department, the Department of Employment and the Social Security Office. It is not a fee schedule or a processing timetable — official fees belong to the authorities and change. For our service fees, speak to our staff by phone, LINE or email.

Act	Authority	Legal basis	Proving record	What it does not prove
Forming a private limited company	The registrar, Department of Business Development (DBD)	CCC §1096–§1111; juristic personality arises on registration under §1015	The registration certificate and the certificate of registered particulars (affidavit)	It does not prove any sector licence, does not prove a foreigner's right to operate, and does not prove that paid-up capital was actually remitted
Power to bind the company	DBD registrar (as recorded in the particulars)	CCC §1144 — the directors manage under the control of the general meeting	The signing-power clause in the most recent affidavit	It does not prove a transaction-specific resolution; foreign counterparties usually also ask for board minutes
A foreigner's right to carry on the business	The Director-General of DBD / the Foreign Business Committee	Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542, Lists 1–3	The Foreign Business Licence, or the Foreign Business Certificate (including the Thailand–US Treaty of Amity route)	It does not confer land-holding rights and does not replace a sector-specific licence
Investment promotion	The Board of Investment (BOI)	Investment Promotion Act B.E. 2520 as amended	The investment promotion certificate	It is not company registration and does not automatically waive accounting, tax or labour duties
VAT registration	The Revenue Department	Revenue Code §81/1 and the royal decree fixing the small-operator threshold at 1.8 million baht per year	Por Por 20, the VAT registration certificate	It does not prove that returns were filed, and does not substitute for the company affidavit
Hiring employees	The Social Security Office	Social Security Act B.E. 2533 as amended	The employer registration and the insured-person registration	It does not give a foreigner the right to work; that is the separate work-permission regime
A foreigner working for the company	The Department of Employment	Royal Decree on the Management of the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560, amended B.E. 2561	The work permit / digital work permit	It does not give permission to stay, which depends on the visa and the Immigration Bureau
Annual financial statements	The DBD registrar and the Revenue Department	Accounting Act B.E. 2543; CCC §1171 on the annual ordinary general meeting	The audited financial statements plus the DBD e-Filing submission receipt	Submission does not mean the registrar has certified the figures

8 duties that follow incorporation — when each is triggered and where it is filed

Duty	Triggered when	Legal basis	Filed with	Note
Hold the annual ordinary general meeting	The first within six months of incorporation, then at least once in every twelve months	CCC §1171	Internal — the minutes are kept by the company	The financial statements must be approved at this meeting before they can go to the registrar
Submit the audited financial statements	After the ordinary general meeting approves them	Accounting Act B.E. 2543	The DBD registrar via DBD e-Filing	For the exact due date in any given year, follow the DBD announcement for that year
File the list of shareholders (Bor Or Jor 5)	By reference to the date of the annual general meeting	CCC §1196 and the registrar's regulations	The DBD registrar	Banks and foreign counterparties almost always ask for Bor Or Jor 5 alongside the affidavit
File the half-year corporate income tax return (PND.51)	Within two months from the last day of the first six months of the accounting period	Revenue Code	The Revenue Department	Under-estimating profit beyond the statutory margin can attract a surcharge
File the annual corporate income tax return (PND.50)	Within 150 days from the last day of the accounting period	Revenue Code	The Revenue Department	It must be filed even in a year with no income
File the monthly VAT return (Por Por 30)	Every month once VAT-registered, even in a month with no sales	Revenue Code	The Revenue Department	The duty to register arises when annual income exceeds the 1.8-million-baht threshold set by royal decree
Remit social security contributions	Monthly, from the first month an insured employee is registered	Social Security Act B.E. 2533	The Social Security Office	Contribution rates can be temporarily varied by ministerial regulation; follow the current-year announcement
File amendments when registered particulars change	On any change of director, signing power, address, capital or objectives	CCC Book III Title XXII and the registrar's regulations	The DBD registrar	Until it is amended, the affidavit still shows the old data and foreign counterparties will rely on it

6 cross-border corporate scenarios — the paper set and the authentication chain

Situation	Fact to prove	Paper set	Authentication chain	Common gap
Opening an overseas bank account for a Thai company	That the company exists and who may sign	Latest company affidavit + shareholder list (Bor Or Jor 5) + board minutes	Notarial certification by a Thai lawyer authorised as a notarial services attorney → certified translation → Department of Consular Affairs → destination country's embassy	Using an affidavit older than the bank accepts, or legalising the original but not the translation
A Thai parent incorporating a subsidiary abroad	The parent's resolution and the signatory's authority	Affidavit + resolution + power of attorney	Notarial certification → certified translation → Department of Consular Affairs → destination embassy	A power of attorney drafted too narrowly to complete the registration at the far end
A foreign parent setting up a company or branch in Thailand	That the foreign parent exists and its signatory is authorised	The parent's certificate of incorporation and resolution, authenticated at origin then translated into Thai	Authentication in the country of origin → the Royal Thai Embassy there → Thai translation → Department of Consular Affairs legalisation of the translation	Company and director names transliterated differently from what will be filed at DBD, forcing the whole set to be redone
Bidding or contracting with a foreign authority	Corporate standing and audited financials	Affidavit + audited financial statements + Por Por 20 where requested	Notarial certification of the copies → certified translation → Department of Consular Affairs → destination embassy	Sending financials not yet submitted to DBD, so the numbers and dates do not match the public record
Registering a trade mark or other IP abroad	The applicant's identity and the agent's authority	Affidavit + power of attorney in the destination country's form	Notarial certification → certified translation where the destination requires → Department of Consular Affairs → destination embassy	Using a Thai-style power of attorney instead of the receiving office's prescribed form
A foreign shareholder proving identity to DBD	The shareholder's identity and the source of the investment funds	A certified passport copy and the financial evidence the registrar asks for	Certification at origin or by a notarial services attorney in Thailand → Thai translation where the document is in a foreign language	Filing an uncertified copy, which draws an amendment order and costs a filing round

16 directly answerable questions

How many promoters does a Thai private limited company need?: Since the Civil and Commercial Code Amendment Act (No. 23) B.E. 2565, in force 7 February 2023, a private limited company needs at least two promoters instead of three.
When does the company become a juristic person?: On registration by the registrar under Civil and Commercial Code §1015 — not on the day the name is reserved or the memorandum is signed.
Does the law set a minimum registered capital for a private limited company?: The Civil and Commercial Code sets no general minimum capital figure for a private limited company. The capital actually required can be driven by other regimes, such as the Foreign Business Act or the criteria the authorities apply to work permission.
What does the company affidavit actually prove?: It proves the company is on the register, its address, objectives, directors and signing-power condition as at the date of issue. It does not prove any sector licence, does not prove financial standing, and does not prove a transaction-specific resolution.
Do we need a Foreign Business Licence?: It depends on whether the activity falls in List 1, 2 or 3 of the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 and whether the operator meets the Act's definition of a 'foreigner'. The analysis is activity by activity, not company type by company type.
Does the Thailand–US Treaty of Amity allow any business?: No. The certificate issued under the Treaty through the Department of Business Development does not cover the activities the Treaty itself reserves, such as certain land and resource activities. Each activity must be checked first.
How is BOI promotion different from company registration?: Registration is done at the Department of Business Development and creates the juristic person. A BOI promotion certificate is a decision of the Board of Investment under the Investment Promotion Act B.E. 2520 — a different process at a different authority.
When must the company register for VAT?: When business income exceeds the small-operator threshold of 1.8 million baht a year fixed by royal decree, or when the activity is one the law requires to register. Some businesses may also register voluntarily.
When must the annual general meeting be held?: Civil and Commercial Code §1171 requires the first ordinary general meeting within six months of incorporation, and thereafter at least once in every twelve months.
Must a company with no income still file financial statements?: Yes. The duty to keep accounts, have them audited and submit the financial statements under the Accounting Act B.E. 2543 follows from being a juristic person, not from having income; the PND.50 return is also still due.
What happens if a change of director is not filed?: The affidavit still shows the old board. Banks, counterparties and foreign authorities rely on the public record, so documents signed by the new director get challenged on authority.
What is the route for Thai corporate documents used abroad?: The usual chain is certification by a Thai lawyer authorised as a Notarial Services Attorney, then a certified translation, then legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs, and finally legalisation at the destination country's embassy.
Can Thai corporate documents get an Apostille yet?: Not yet. The Apostille Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. Before that date no Thai authority issues an Apostille, so the Department of Consular Affairs plus destination-embassy route still applies.
How are a foreign parent's documents prepared for filing in Thailand?: Authenticate them at origin under that country's system, have the Royal Thai Embassy there legalise them, then translate into Thai and have the Department of Consular Affairs legalise the translation. Fix the transliteration of company and director names consistently across every document from the start.
How does a branch of a foreign company differ from a Thai company?: A Thai company registered under the Civil and Commercial Code is a separate juristic person. A branch creates no new juristic person — the foreign entity itself carries on business in Thailand — so the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 analysis comes first.
How can we ask about fees for corporate work?: It depends on the entity form, how many documents must be certified and translated, and how many authentication layers are needed. Ask our staff by phone, LINE or email. We do not publish official fees, which are set by the authorities and change.

10 corporate acts — which organ decides, what majority, and what must be registered afterwards

Every row cites a stated provision of the Civil and Commercial Code or another named statute. No fees and no processing times are given, and this is not case-specific legal advice — please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email for your matter.

Corporate act	Competent organ	Majority required	Statutory basis	After the resolution
Day-to-day management and ordinary contracting	The board, subject to the control of the shareholders' meeting	As the articles or the directors' own regulations provide; the directors may fix how their meetings are held and decisions taken	CCC §1144 read with §1158–1162	No registration, but the signatory must be an authorised director as shown in the registered particulars
Changing directors or the signing-authority condition	The shareholders' meeting, unless the articles let the board fill a casual vacancy	An ordinary resolution by a majority of the shareholders present and entitled to vote	CCC §1151, §1155 and §1157	Must be registered with the registrar, after which it appears on a fresh company affidavit
Moving the head office or adding a branch office	Depends on whether the memorandum states only the province or the full address	A move inside the same province where the memorandum names only the province can rest on a board resolution; if the memorandum wording itself must change, a special resolution is required	CCC §1098(5) read with §1099 and §1145	Register the change with the registrar and notify the Revenue Department for the tax records
Amending the objects or changing the company name	The shareholders' meeting	A special resolution of not less than three quarters of the votes of shareholders present and entitled to vote	CCC §1145 and §1194 read with §1099	Register the amended memorandum; a new name must first clear name reservation with the registrar
Increasing the registered capital	The shareholders' meeting	A special resolution, issuing new shares as the resolution provides	CCC §1220 read with §1194 (new shares issued under a special resolution)	Register the increase; once shares are paid up, update the shareholder list (BOJ 5) and the share register
Reducing the registered capital	The shareholders' meeting, followed by the creditor-protection steps	A special resolution, plus publication and notice to creditors so that they may object as the law provides	CCC §1224–§1228	Register the reduction after the objection period closes; only then does the capital shown on the affidavit change
Amending the company's articles of association	The shareholders' meeting	A special resolution	CCC §1145 read with §1194	Register the amended articles; only then can the amendment be raised against third parties
Transferring shares between shareholders	The parties to the transfer, subject to any transfer restriction in the articles	The instrument of transfer must be in writing, signed by transferor and transferee, and certified by the signature of at least one witness	CCC §1129 read with §1196 (the share register)	Enter it in the share register; the holding becomes visible to the registrar through the shareholder list (BOJ 5), not through the affidavit
Approving the annual financial statements	The ordinary general meeting	An ordinary resolution; the first ordinary meeting must be held within six months of registration of the company and afterwards at least once every twelve months	CCC §1171 read with the Accounting Act B.E. 2543	Submit the audited financial statements to the registrar and file the tax returns with the Revenue Department under the Revenue Code
Dissolving the company and liquidation	The shareholders' meeting, then the liquidation process	A special resolution to wind up, which the law requires to be passed in the two-meeting form prescribed for special resolutions	CCC §1236(4), §1194 and §1249–1251	Register the dissolution and the liquidator; the company remains a legal person for the purposes of liquidation until completion of liquidation is registered

6 corporate records — what each proves and what it does not

Company affidavit (certificate of the registered particulars)

Proves: That the company exists, its registration number, office, registered capital, the directors and the signing-authority condition, as at the date of issue

Does not prove: It does not list the shareholders, does not show that shares are fully paid, and does not certify that the business carried on is licensed under sector-specific law

Issued by: The registrar, Department of Business Development

Shareholder list (BOJ 5)

Proves: The shareholders and their holdings as the company reported them to the registrar as at the date on the document

Does not prove: It is not itself proof of a transfer: a transfer operates through the instrument of transfer and the entry in the share register, and this filing is a later reflection of that

Issued by: Filed by the company; certified copies issued by the registrar

The share register

Proves: The record of holdings that the company is bound to keep and maintain at its office

Does not prove: It is not issued by the registrar; a foreign counterparty that needs a state-issued record usually also asks for a registrar-certified copy of the BOJ 5

Issued by: Kept by the company itself under CCC §1196

Meeting minutes and resolutions

Proves: The decision of the competent organ, the meeting date, the quorum and the votes, as recorded

Does not prove: It does not make a registrable change effective against third parties before registration, and it cannot cure a resolution that conflicts with the law or the articles

Issued by: The company, signed by the chair of the meeting

Registrar-certified copy of the registered particulars

Proves: The exact wording on file, such as the memorandum, the articles, or an application to register a change

Does not prove: It does not certify that the wording is still current: where later changes were registered, the full set up to the latest entry must be requested

Issued by: The registrar, Department of Business Development

Foreign Business Licence or Certificate

Proves: Permission or entitlement to carry on a business listed under the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542, within the scope stated on its face

Does not prove: It does not cover activities outside that stated scope and does not replace sector-specific licences

Issued by: Department of Business Development

Certification chains for corporate documents used abroad — 5 cases

Registering a subsidiary or branch abroad: A current company affidavit → translation into the language the destination requires → certification of the translation and signature as the destination requires → legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs → legalisation at the destination country's embassy; Watch out: Destinations commonly set a recency limit on the affidavit, so check the receiving body's requirement before starting the chain — an older copy may have to be re-issued
Opening a bank account or transacting abroad: A board resolution naming the authorised person → a power of attorney → the signatory signs before a Notarial Services Attorney → consular legalisation → destination-embassy legalisation; Watch out: Banks usually dictate the wording of the power of attorney; obtaining their accepted form or wording first avoids redoing the whole chain
Bidding or vendor registration with a foreign authority: The affidavit plus a registrar-certified copy of the articles plus audited financial statements → translation → certification of the translation → consular legalisation → destination-embassy legalisation; Watch out: Every document in the set should carry the company name and registration number in one consistent form; a name romanised differently across documents is a common reason a set is returned
Assigning or licensing rights across borders: The resolution approving the transaction → the assignment or licence → signature before a Notarial Services Attorney → consular legalisation → destination-embassy legalisation or filing with the destination registry; Watch out: The signatory must be within the authority shown on the affidavit; where the signing condition requires two directors jointly, a single signature invites challenge
Corporate documents during the run-up to the Apostille Convention for Thailand: Up to 27 February 2027 the existing chain still applies: consular legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs followed by destination-embassy legalisation; Watch out: Thailand deposited its instrument on 30 June 2026 and the Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027; before that date no Thai authority can issue an Apostille

Questions on corporate resolutions and change registration (14)

What majority does a special resolution of a Thai private limited company need?: Not less than three quarters of the total votes of the shareholders present at the meeting and entitled to vote, under section 1194 of the Civil and Commercial Code; notice for a special resolution must also be given over a longer period than for an ordinary resolution.
Can a company affidavit prove who the shareholders are?: No. The affidavit shows the directors, the signing authority, the registered capital and the office, but not the shareholders. Where a counterparty needs proof of holdings, ask for a registrar-certified copy of the shareholder list (BOJ 5).
From when does a change of directors take effect against third parties?: The resolution binds internally on its own terms, but particulars that the law requires to be registered can be raised against third parties once registered, following section 1145 read with section 1157. Register the change before relying on an affidavit to evidence signing authority.
May a shareholders' meeting be held by electronic means?: Yes. The Royal Decree on Meetings via Electronic Means B.E. 2563 recognises electronic meetings, and the Civil and Commercial Code Amendment Act (No. 23) B.E. 2565, in force 7 February 2023, recognises electronic notice and electronic meetings for limited companies. The platform used must meet the security standard set by the responsible agency.
What is the quorum for a shareholders' meeting?: Under section 1178, shareholders representing not less than one quarter of the company's capital must be present, unless the articles set a higher figure. Without a quorum the meeting cannot proceed.
When must the ordinary general meeting be held?: Section 1171 requires the first ordinary meeting within six months of registration of the company and thereafter at least once every twelve months; the audited financial statements are laid before that meeting under the Accounting Act B.E. 2543.
What makes a share transfer valid?: Section 1129 requires a transfer of registered shares to be in writing, signed by transferor and transferee with the signature of at least one certifying witness, and the transfer is effective against the company or third parties once entered in the share register. Any transfer restriction in the articles must also be observed.
Must creditors be notified of a capital reduction?: Yes. A reduction rests on a special resolution, and sections 1224 to 1228 of the Civil and Commercial Code require publication and notice to creditors so that they may object before the reduction is registered. This creditor-protection step cannot be skipped.
What happens to acts done by a director whose appointment was defective?: Section 1155 provides that a defect in the appointment or the qualification of a director does not affect the validity of acts done in good faith towards third parties. In practice the registered particulars should still be corrected promptly, because counterparties check signing authority on the affidavit.
Does moving the registered office need a special resolution?: It depends on the memorandum wording. Where the memorandum names only the province and the move stays inside it, a board resolution followed by registration of the new address is generally sufficient; where the memorandum wording itself must change, such as a change of province, a special resolution is required. The Revenue Department should also be notified.
What extra steps does a board resolution need for use abroad?: Typically a translation into the language the destination requires, the authorised signatory signing before a Notarial Services Attorney, then legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs and at the destination country's embassy. Before 28 February 2027 no Apostille is issued in Thailand.
After amending the objects, can the new business start immediately?: Registering the amended objects gives the company the scope recorded, but it does not replace sector-specific licences; and where the activity is listed under the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542, a company treated as foreign still needs the licence or certificate first.
Is an older corporate document still usable?: An affidavit states the position as at its date of issue, so it does not confirm the current position. Receiving bodies and counterparties usually set a recency limit, so check the recipient's requirement before starting the certification chain to avoid repeating it.
Does the legal person end as soon as the company is wound up?: Not immediately. Under section 1249 a dissolved company continues to exist for the purposes of liquidation, conducted by the liquidator, and its status ends when completion of liquidation is registered. Related accounting and tax duties continue in the meantime.

Deep Context and Service Standards

Sourced from the Lawyer Act B.E. 2528 (1985), the Lawyers Council Regulation on Notarial Services Attorneys B.E. 2546 (2003), the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019), the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961, and official publications of the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA).

Firm Overview and Practice Framework

Thai Notary Service is a full-service Thai law office providing document notarization, certified translation, legalization chain management, and international document consultancy. Our team includes Notarial Services Attorneys licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand under the Royal Patronage, and we operate offices in Bangkok, Greater Bangkok, and a partner network in every province across Thailand. We serve individuals, expatriates, cross-border couples, students, corporates, multinationals, and government agencies requiring documents with legal effect both inside Thailand and abroad.

All notarial acts follow the Lawyer Act B.E. 2528 (1985) Section 27 read with the Lawyers Council Regulation on Notarial Services Attorneys B.E. 2546 (2003), the sole legal basis authorizing Thai attorneys to certify documents comparable to a foreign Notary Public. Every attorney on our team has completed the accredited training and examination administered by the Lawyers Council and holds a verifiable registration number searchable on the Lawyers Council public registry.

By choosing a firm that houses Notarial Services Attorneys in-house, clients consolidate a multi-stage legalization chain under one accountable roof: attorney notarization, followed by Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs, followed by embassy or consular legalization for the destination country. Since 21 November 2024 the Kingdom of Thailand has become a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents). Documents apostilled in Thailand are now accepted in more than 125 member states without embassy re-legalization, materially reducing turnaround time and cost.

General Information and Firm Framework — Deep Context

The firm operates under an ISO 9001:2015 quality-management framework and enforces data protection consistent with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019). All client documents are stored with AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit and are retained for ten years in accordance with lawyer-record obligations under the Lawyer Act.

Our team combines Notarial Services Attorneys, NAATI-certified translators, and legal specialists in intellectual property, taxation, cross-border family law, corporate law, and immigration law, together with a support team dedicated to documentation, translation, and government-agency liaison.

Fees are transparent and disclosed both on the website and in the pre-engagement quote, separating professional fees, government fees, travel disbursements (if any), and other line items. The firm issues VAT invoices and official receipts and accepts payment by bank transfer, credit card, PromptPay, and cash.

Trust Standards — PDPA, SLA, Quality Assurance

On data protection, the firm strictly follows the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019), Sections 24, 26, and 27 — collecting, using, and disclosing personal data only to the extent necessary for the engagement, disclosing purposes, and obtaining consent from data subjects in advance. Clients retain the right to inspect, obtain a copy, rectify, erase, or withdraw consent at any time through the firm's Data Protection Officer (DPO). For clients in the European Union, processing follows GDPR Article 6 (lawful basis) and Article 46 (Standard Contractual Clauses).

Our Service Level Agreement targets an inquiry response within one hour during business hours (09:00–18:00, Monday to Saturday), attorney appointments within twenty-four hours, standard notarization within one business day (or two to three hours on express service), certified translation within three to five business days per ten A4 pages, MFA legalization within two business days on standard service (one business day express), and embassy legalization typically within three to fifteen business days depending on the mission's own policy.

Every deliverable passes a three-tier quality-assurance chain: (1) the responsible attorney or translator, (2) a Senior Attorney or department head reviewing substance and formatting, (3) a Quality Control desk performing the final pre-delivery check. Any firm-side error is remedied at no additional cost, and if a document is rejected by a government authority due to a firm-side error, we cover the entire re-filing fee.
