Applying for a Foreign Business Licence in Rayong — what paperwork is needed?

The scope of this answer is “Applying for a Foreign Business Licence in Rayong”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The terms that frame this page are Applying · Foreign · Business · Licence. The specifics here are location: Rayong, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Before starting, confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies. A key variable is the filing channel (in person, agent or online), which sets the copy format to prepare. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. 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.
