PAN Card (India) Application Services — Full-Service from Bangkok

The Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a 10-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by India's Income Tax Department. It is mandatory for every financial transaction in India: opening NRE/NRO/FCNR bank accounts, buying real estate above INR 500,000, investing in BSE/NSE stocks or mutual funds, incorporating a company, filing income tax returns (ITR), depositing cash of INR 50,000+, or purchasing vehicles and property. NYC Legal delivers complete PAN application services for Indians in Thailand, Thai investors in India, foreign nationals with Indian business interests, and NRI/OCI/PIO holders.

What is PAN and what can you use it for

PAN is a lifetime alphanumeric code in the format ABCDE1234F issued under the Income Tax Act 1961. It is used to (1) open NRE/NRO/FCNR bank accounts, (2) invest in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, (3) buy real estate ≥ INR 500,000, (4) deposit cash ≥ INR 50,000 per transaction, (5) file personal income tax returns, (6) incorporate a company or LLP in India, (7) purchase vehicles, and (8) buy foreign exchange ≥ INR 50,000 for overseas travel.

Form 49A vs Form 49AA

Form 49A is for Indian Citizens (including NRI/OCI/PIO holding an Indian passport), submittable in English or Hindi. Fees: INR 110 (e-PAN via Aadhaar) or INR 1,020 (physical card, international dispatch). Form 49AA is for foreign citizens and entities incorporated outside India. Fee: INR 1,020 + courier. Both are filed online via NSDL/Protean or UTIITSL.

Hague Apostille (14 February 2026) impact on PAN filing

Thailand becomes a Hague Apostille member from 14 February 2026. India has been a member since 14 July 2005. Thai source documents (passport copy, utility bill, address proof) needed for Form 49AA now require only a single MFA Apostille (Chaeng Watthana) before they can be filed with NSDL/UTIITSL. The Indian Embassy legalization step in Bangkok is no longer required — saving 3–5 business days and roughly THB 2,500 per set.

Documents required (Form 49AA)

1) Passport (Notary + MFA Apostille) — bio page and latest visa/stamp; 2) Address Proof (Notary + MFA Apostille) — utility bill, bank statement, Yellow Book or Certificate of Residence; 3) Two 2-inch color photos (white background); 4) Purpose evidence (property sale agreement, bank account opening letter, investment advisory letter); 5) For Corporate PAN — Certificate of Incorporation + Board Resolution authorizing director (Notary + MFA + Apostille on every document).

Timeline and fees

e-PAN via Aadhaar (if holder): 10 minutes. Standard Form 49A: 15–20 business days. Form 49AA (foreign): 20–30 business days. Physical card international dispatch: +7–10 days. NYC Legal service fee (including Notary + MFA Apostille + document handling + NSDL coordination): from THB 12,500 per person, THB 22,000 per company.
