Company Registration Services For Foreign Investors In Thailand

Establishing a company in Thailand requires careful legal structuring, particularly for foreign investors operating in Rayong and the Eastern Seaboard. Our expert company registration lawyer provides business registration services in Rayong, Pattaya, Chonburi, and Bangkok, ensuring compliance with Thai corporate and business regulations.

We assist clients with entity selection, shareholder structure, regulatory compliance, and post-registration obligations to ensure a legally secure and operationally compliant business setup.

Types Of Business Structures In Thailand

We assist clients in selecting and registering appropriate business entities, including:

• Thai Limited Company: The most common for both local and foreign investors, requiring a minimum of three shareholders.
• Foreign Business License (FBL): Required for certain restricted business activities under the Foreign Business Act.
• Board of Investment (BOI) Promotion: Available for qualifying industries, particularly manufacturing and industrial activities in Rayong, allowing exceptions and potential 100% foreign ownership.
• Branch Offices and Representative Offices: Suitable for foreign companies establishing a presence in Thailand without forming a separate Thai entity.

Foreign Ownership Restrictions And Compliance

Under the Foreign Business Act, many service activities are restricted and may require Thai majority shareholding or a Foreign Business License. Exceptions may apply under BOI promotion or international treaties such as the US-Thai Treaty of Amity.

Proper structuring during the company registration phase is essential to ensure long-term compliance and operational control.

Company Registration Process In Thailand

Our firm manages the registration process through structured steps:

Post-Registration Compliance

After incorporation, companies must complete additional regulatory steps, including Tax Identification Number (TIN) registration, VAT registration (if applicable), Social Security registration, and corporate bank account setup. We provide guidance to ensure compliance from the first day of operation.

Capital Requirements And Work Permits

Companies employing foreign nationals must comply with capital and employment ratio requirements under Thai law. In general, a company must maintain sufficient paid-up capital and Thai employee ratios to support foreign work permits.

We advise clients on appropriate capitalisation structures during the registration phase to prevent delays in immigration and labour approvals.

Visa And Work Permit Services In Thailand

Foreign investors establishing a company in Thailand must also consider immigration and labour compliance requirements. Our firm provides guidance on capital requirements linked to foreign work permits, Thai employee-to-foreigner ratio considerations, and director and authorised signatory structuring.
