The sequenced timeline involves multiple stages: preparing the liquidation report (10-12 days), submitting the cancellation request (5-7 days), the mandatory newspaper publication (30 days), visa cancellation (3-5 days), final mainland closure (3-5 weeks), and CT deregistration (20 days). Timelines may vary based on specific authority procedures.
