BOI permission is generally relevant where a foreign company seeks to open a branch office or liaison office in Pakistan. Whether BOI, SECP or another authority is involved depends on the structure, activity, sector and documents supporting the proposed Pakistan presence.
A liaison office is generally used for promotion, technical advice, coordination, exploring collaboration or export-related support, rather than commercial trading. The permitted activities should be checked against the BOI permission and the foreign company's proposed Pakistan activities.
The review commonly includes the foreign company's incorporation documents, memorandum and articles, board resolution or authority letter, company profile, authorised representative documents and contract documents where a branch office is linked to a Pakistan project. Attestation requirements should be checked for the matter.
Some parts can often be coordinated remotely, but attested foreign documents, original signatures, representative authority, local filing requirements or regulator follow-up may still be required. The process should be confirmed after reviewing the proposed office type and country of incorporation.
No. BOI permission does not automatically complete all Pakistan registrations. Depending on the structure and activity, SECP filings, tax registration, banking, sector regulator approvals and ongoing compliance may also need separate handling.
No. Approval and timing depend on the documents, proposed activity, authority review, sector issues and follow-up queries. Legal Bridge LLP® can help prepare and coordinate the filing, but no regulatory outcome can be promised.
