Company, BOI & Foreign Investment in Bangkok
Practical legal support for international businesses and investors establishing, acquiring, financing or operating a business in Bangkok.
Choose a lawful structure that fits the real business
A Bangkok venture may require company registration, foreign-investment analysis, investment promotion, licences, premises, staff and commercial contracts. Walailak Law Firm begins with the proposed activities, ownership, funding and management arrangements before recommending a structure and implementation sequence.
When clients contact us
- A foreign investor establishing a Thai operating company
- An existing business applying for BOI promotion or another permission
- An acquisition, joint venture or shareholder restructuring
- A company reviewing foreign ownership or control
- Directors needing governance and shareholder documentation
- A business preparing contracts for Thai operations
How Walailak Law Firm can assist
The precise scope is confirmed after conflicts, documents, objectives and urgency are reviewed.
Typical work
- Clarify business activities, ownership, funding and management
- Assess foreign-business restrictions and available legal routes
- Consider BOI and other investment-promotion options
- Prepare company, shareholder and director documentation
- Review licences, premises, employment and operating requirements
- Draft and negotiate commercial contracts and implementation documents
Registration is only one part of lawful operation
A registered company does not by itself resolve foreign-business restrictions, licensing, employment, tax or work-authorisation requirements. The structure should reflect the activity actually conducted, genuine ownership and decision-making, and the approvals required before operations begin.
