Thai Legal and Business Translation for Companies, Investors and Employers Between Georgia and Thailand

Registering a Georgian company with Thai founders, and Thai company documents

A Thai company limited founding a Georgian subsidiary, branch or representative office - a spa chain, a restaurant brand, a food or cosmetics exporter - submits a Georgian translation of its company affidavit (หนังสือรับรองบริษัท) from the Department of Business Development, which lists directors, signing authority, capital and objectives and is valid for a limited period, its memorandum and articles of association, the list of shareholders (บอจ.5), the board resolution approving the Georgian entity and a power of attorney if a local representative files; each is legalized by the Thai MFA and the Georgian mission and notarized in Tbilisi. Individual Thai founders submit a translated passport. We draft the Georgian charter bilingually with a parallel Thai or English column so the founder signs a text they can read, and we know the wording the National Agency of Public Registry expects. Georgian founders of a Thai company go the other way, with the Georgian Public Registry extract and charter legalized and translated into Thai with MFA certification for the DBD, and with attention to Thailand's foreign business rules on ownership.

Employment contracts for Thai staff in Georgia

The most frequent Thai-Georgian legal document is the employment contract between a Georgian spa, hotel or restaurant and a Thai therapist, manager or cook. Georgian labor law governs it, the work permit file requires it, the Thai employee must understand it, and disputes over hours, accommodation, commission and repatriation arise when the Thai version is missing or vague. We draft or translate bilingual Georgian-Thai employment contracts covering salary and commission, working hours and days off, accommodation, health insurance, flights, probation, termination and repatriation, in terms both Georgian inspectors and Thai employees read clearly, and we translate the supporting documents - job descriptions, staff rules, warning letters and termination notices - so that every step in the employment relationship is documented in both languages. Recruitment agency agreements between Georgian employers and Thai agencies licensed by the Department of Employment are translated by the same team.

Franchise, supply and distribution agreements

Thai spa brands, massage schools and restaurant concepts expand abroad through franchise and licensing agreements, and Thai food, beverage, cosmetics, rubber and consumer goods reach Georgia through supply and distribution agreements, while Georgian wine, mineral water and hazelnuts begin to reach Thai importers. We translate franchise agreements, brand and know-how licenses, training and standards manuals, supply and distribution agreements, agency agreements, exclusivity and territory clauses, and the trademark documentation that goes with them, between Thai, Georgian and English, with a legal specialist keeping defined terms and numbering consistent and flagging where a Thai concept - the roles of directors under the Civil and Commercial Code, Thai foreign business restrictions, Thai franchise regulation under the Trade Competition Act - needs a lawyer's decision on the Georgian equivalent rather than a translator's guess.

Property: Thai condominiums and Georgian apartments

Georgians buy condominiums in Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya, which foreigners may own within the foreign quota under the Condominium Act, and Thai investors and spouses buy apartments in Tbilisi and Batumi. Thai purchases produce sale and purchase agreements, condominium juristic person documents, the Chanote or condominium title deed, the Foreign Exchange Transaction Form proving funds were brought into Thailand, and Land Department transfer documents, which we translate into Georgian for Georgian banks, family matters and estate planning; Georgian purchases produce sale contracts and Public Registry extracts, which we translate into Thai for the buyer and, where the buyer is a Thai spouse, for the Thai amphur's records of marital property. Powers of attorney for property matters in either country are translated and legalized through the chain. Where a Thai buyer signs at our notary, an interpreter attends.

Court judgments, estates and enforcement

Thai court judgments in family, commercial and succession matters - divorce judgments from the Central Juvenile and Family Court and provincial courts, civil judgments, and court orders appointing estate administrators (ผู้จัดการมรดก), which Thai succession requires - are recognized in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the judgment and supporting documents, all legalized. Georgian judgments and inheritance certificates go the other way for Thai courts, translated into Thai with MFA certification. Thailand and Georgia have no treaty on mutual recognition of judgments, so a foreign judgment is generally re-litigated as evidence in Thai courts, and a Georgian lawyer and Thai counsel assess the route; we translate for both. Arbitration under the Thai Arbitration Institute, the Thailand Arbitration Center, the SIAC, the ICC or the Georgian International Arbitration Centre produces submissions, witness statements and awards which we translate under procedural deadlines. Estates of Georgians who died in Thailand and Thais who died in Georgia - death certificates, estate administrator orders, wills - are handled by the same team. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Financial statements, tax documents, confidentiality and how projects run

Georgian subsidiaries of Thai companies and Thai investors present accounts to Georgian banks and the Revenue Service, and Thai immigration and the Revenue Department ask Georgian residents of Thailand for income and tax documents. We translate audited financial statements, balance sheets and income statements, DBD annual filings, tax residency certificates from the Revenue Department, VAT documents, withholding tax certificates and bank confirmation letters, with accountants on the team reconciling every figure and converting Buddhist Era fiscal years.

Every translator, editor and courier is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, files are encrypted and access is limited to the assigned team; we sign client-specific NDAs and data processing terms aligned with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act for Thai clients. Corporate clients receive a glossary and translation memory from the first project. Projects run in a fixed pattern: fixed quote within the hour, a legal or financial specialist plus a reviewer, questions returned in a single batch, delivery in the original format, and notarization and legalization scheduled in parallel with translation. Framework agreements with monthly invoicing and priority notary slots are available for spa and restaurant groups, Thai brands, importers and law firms serving Thai clients.
