UBO Register Filing (UK/EU) → United States 🇚ðŸ‡ļ

IRS / FinCEN · US-Thailand DTA 1996 (in force 1998)

From THB 5,5007-21 days Thai-side + 14-60 days destination

To claim or comply with tax in United States, the UBO Register Filing (UK/EU) must be translated into English and Apostilled — filed with IRS / FinCEN.

Dedicated runners at the Revenue Department, BOI, AMLO, FinCEN portal, HMRC e-services, and Companies House.

Why United States insists on this document: FATCA IGA Model 1A — Thai banks report US persons to IRS via the Revenue Dept · CTA 2024 mandates FinCEN BOI.

FATCA IGA: Model 1A · CRS: non-participating · Treaty: US-Thailand DTA 1996 (in force 1998).

End-to-end: prepare UBO Register Filing (UK/EU) at Companies House / EU Commercial Register (7-21 days) → English translation → MFA → Apostille → IRS / FinCEN.

First-pass acceptance: 97-99%.
