The world that existed before the pandemic is gradually regaining familiar shape, with essential institutions and routes reopening. Yesterday, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs resumed acceptance of powers of attorney from Russian citizens for legalization for further use abroad.
This important update primarily concerns those who wish to buy or sell real estate in Thailand but are unable to be personally present at the transaction. It is now possible to complete the process remotely.
To prepare and legalize a power of attorney for Russian citizens, the following steps are required:
- Draft a power of attorney with a licensed notary in the Russian Federation — in Russian;
- Translate the document into English and have the translation notarized;
- Certify the document at the Ministry of Justice;
- Further certification at the consular department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation;
- The final step is legalization at the consular section of the Embassy of Thailand in Moscow.
The entire process may take 2–4 weeks.
