Frequently asked questions about doing business in Thailand
The questions foreign entrepreneurs ask us most often before starting a company in Thailand
Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Thailand?
As a general rule the Foreign Business Act limits foreign ownership of a Thai limited company to 49%. Full 100% foreign ownership is possible through BOI promotion, a Foreign Business License, a US-Thai Treaty of Amity company, or by operating in a sector that is not restricted. We review your business activity and recommend the structure that legally fits your case.
How long does it take to register a company in Thailand?
A standard Thai limited company is normally registered with the Department of Business Development in about 7 to 14 working days once all shareholder documents are ready. Adding VAT registration, a corporate bank account, work permits and visas typically brings the full setup to around 30 to 45 days.
What is the minimum registered capital for a Thai company?
There is no general minimum for a purely Thai-majority company, but 2 million THB of registered capital is required per work permit issued to a foreign employee, and 3 million THB applies per restricted activity under a Foreign Business License. We calculate the capital your structure actually requires before registration.
Do I need a work permit if I own the company?
Yes. In Thailand any work performed by a foreigner requires a work permit, including work for your own company, and it must be paired with a Non-Immigrant B visa. We handle the visa, the work permit and the yearly extensions together so your status stays valid.
What is BOI promotion and who qualifies?
BOI promotion is an incentive granted by the Thailand Board of Investment to activities the country wants to attract, such as software, digital services, manufacturing and regional headquarters. Approved companies can receive corporate income tax exemptions of up to 8 years, 100% foreign ownership, land ownership rights and simplified visa and work permit procedures.
How much does it cost to set up a company in Thailand?
The cost depends on the structure, the licenses required and the number of visas and work permits needed. We work with fixed-fee quotes issued after the free consultation, so you know the total government fees and professional fees before starting.
