Registering a branch of a foreign company in Rayong — what paperwork is needed?

The scope of this answer is “Registering a branch of a foreign company in Rayong”, so it covers both the requirements attached to this document set and the order the steps must follow. The terms that frame this page are Registering · branch · foreign · company. The specifics here are location: Rayong, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Before starting, plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set. The common failure in this group of cases is a translation that does not match the certification type required. The biggest risk in cases like this is doing the certification steps out of order, which forces a restart. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. Companies are registered with the Department of Business Development (DBD), Ministry of Commerce: a private limited company is formed under the Civil and Commercial Code and a public limited company under the Public Limited Companies Act B.E. 2535 (1992), with a memorandum of association, articles and a shareholder list among the incorporation papers. Foreign documents used in a work permit or incorporation file — degrees, experience letters, the parent company's certificate of incorporation, powers of attorney and passports — must be translated into Thai or English as the office requires and certified along the correct chain: certification in the country of origin, then embassy or Department of Consular Affairs legalisation as applicable. ILC handles the document side only — certified translation, notarial signature certification and legalisation runs at the Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy. ILC is not the deciding authority and cannot guarantee an approval. Cost and lead time depend on page count, language pair and the certification steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
