Memorandum of Association (MOA) for Laos: what and why
The Memorandum of Association states your company's name, registered office, objects and capital. Registries abroad check it to confirm that your company is allowed to carry on the business it plans there. The MOA is filed with the Registrar of Companies; the copy legalised is certified as a true copy by a director or company secretary.
Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.
In Laos, a legalised Memorandum of Association (MOA) is typically requested for company or branch registration; it is also used for joint venture approvals and tender qualification.
The Memorandum of Association (MOA) issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Laos in New Delhi.
