How should a newly established startup set up its accounting system in preparation for a BOI application?
One-stop legal
For expats, HR teams and in-house counsel to "How should a newly established startup set up its accounting system in preparation for a BOI application?" — Thailand deposited its Apostille accession instrument on 30 June 2026, with entry into force scheduled for 28 February 2027. Before that date check the route accepted by the recipient. Afterwards confirm document scope, treaty operation between the relevant countries and recipient requirements; one certificate does not guarantee acceptance everywhere. Choose the certification route from the recipient's instructions and document type. Translation, signature certification and consular or embassy legalisation are distinct acts; not every document needs all of them. Check current authority notices for fees, queues and express eligibility without assuming a completion date.
