- 2 Indian Chamber of Commerce
- 3 MEA attestation
- 4 Thailand Embassy, New Delhi
Why Thailand asks for a legalised Memorandum of Association (MOA)
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.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Thailand usually ask for a legalised Memorandum of Association (MOA) for company or branch registration, joint venture approvals or 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 Thailand in New Delhi.
In our processing experience, Indian documents for Thailand are legalised through the Royal Thai Embassy rather than by apostille.
