How do I prepare a joint-venture agreement for cross-border due diligence, and how long does it take?

Short answer: Thai corporate records used abroad follow this chain: (1) pull the current company affidavit, shareholder list and financial statements from the Department of Business Development, (2) translate through a translator the destination accepts, (3) have the translation or the director's signature certified by a Notarial Services Attorney, (4) legalise at the Department of Consular Affairs, and (5) attest at the destination embassy where required. We handle corporate document work — translating company affidavits, DBD filings, financial statements and powers of attorney, plus notarial certification, MFA legalisation and embassy attestation. We do not provide transactional legal opinions or audit services. Note: the final decision rests with the receiving authority, so our focus is a complete and accurate document set.
