Why incorporate your business in Thailand?

Thailand is the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia with a well-developed infrastructure, strategic location, and strong manufacturing base. The country is a hub for automotive, electronics, tourism, and food processing industries.

The government's Thailand 4.0 initiative offers attractive incentives for technology and innovation-focused businesses through the BOI. With a growing middle class and proximity to China, Thailand remains a premier destination for ASEAN expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions about Thailand Incorporation

Can foreigners own 100% of a Thai company?
Under the Foreign Business Act, most businesses require Thai majority ownership (51%). However, 100% foreign ownership is possible through BOI promotion, US Treaty of Amity (for US nationals), or operating in permitted sectors. We help you find the best structure for your business.
What is BOI promotion in Thailand?
The Board of Investment (BOI) offers incentives to promoted industries including 100% foreign ownership, corporate tax exemptions for up to 8 years, import duty exemptions on machinery, and easier work permit processing. Target industries include technology, digital, medical, and manufacturing.
What is the US-Thai Treaty of Amity?
The Treaty of Amity allows US citizens and US majority-owned companies to hold majority or 100% ownership in Thai companies across most business sectors. This provides a simpler path to foreign ownership without BOI requirements.
How many shareholders do I need?
A Thai Limited Company requires a minimum of 3 shareholders (promoters) at incorporation. After registration, shares can be transferred, and the minimum can be reduced to 2 shareholders for private companies.
What are the ongoing compliance requirements?
Thai companies must file annual financial statements and tax returns, hold annual shareholder meetings, maintain proper accounting records, and submit various reports to the DBD and Revenue Department.
Can I get a work permit through my Thai company?
Yes, your company can sponsor work permits for foreign employees. Standard companies require a 2 million Baht paid-up capital per work permit and 4 Thai employees per foreigner. BOI companies have more flexible requirements.
