Company registration in Thailand

Published:
December 22, 2020

Thailand’s legal framework is geared towards supporting domestic business, which is why government agencies are reluctant to provide foreign investors with the ability to hold and freely manage assets. A non-resident owner can own the capital in its entirety only if he receives an appropriate license. The government agency issues such permits only to those who have made a significant financial contribution to the development of the Thai economy, transferred any strategic technologies to jurisdiction, or provided jobs to many Thai residents.

Other foreign businessmen may own no more than 49% of the property. You can get around these restrictions by engaging in export activities only. In addition, you can take over all the management of the company and the right to sign. Only one director can manage a firm, and he can be a non-resident.

The business must regularly submit reports, be audited and pay tax fees of 30%. Some small and medium-sized companies enjoy reduced rates, however, in general, Thailand cannot be called offshore.

Registration of the Thai company

The jurisdiction of Thailand offers non-residents the following forms of business:

  • partnerships – simple type, registered and with limited liability imposed on the founders;
  • COO. This is one of the most popular forms among foreigners. Registration of this company is carried out in the form of an open or closed joint-stock company. The responsibility of the founders depends on the size of their contributions;
  • regional office and representative office. Restrictions on the scope of activities are imposed on such firms. They cannot be associated with trading operations and have the right to engage only in the dissemination of information and the search for services for the parent company.
