FAQ
- Which BOI category fits my business?
- BOI publishes 8 activity groups (A1–A4 core, B1–B2 supporting). Tech / R&D / regional HQ / EV / digital services typically qualify for A1–A2 (8-year CIT holiday + import-duty exemption). Manufacturing supporting industries fall under A3–A4 (3–5 years CIT). We map your P&L to the correct activity code before filing.
- What does the BOI approval timeline look like?
- Pre-application scoping: 1 week. Formal e-Investment filing: 40 working days to committee decision. Certificate issuance after acceptance letter + capital injection proof: 30 days. Full timeline 3–4 months to a live BOI card.
- Foreign Business Licence (FBL) — when do I need it?
- Any 51%+ foreign-owned company doing List 2/3 activities under the Foreign Business Act needs FBL (or BOI shelter, or Treaty of Amity for US firms). We run the cheapest path analysis: FBL vs. BOI vs. Amity vs. Thai nominee-free restructuring.
