Frequently asked questions
- Can a foreigner own 100% of a Thai company?
- Full foreign ownership is possible for some activities, but there is no blanket permission. Check the Foreign Business Act definition, actual activities, sector-specific restrictions and any required licence or certificate. BOI promotion and treaty rights apply only within their approved scope; they do not automatically confer land rights, visas or work permits. Do not use nominee shareholders. Verify the proposed structure with DBD.
- What is the minimum registered capital for a Thai company?
- Do not apply one capital figure to every incorporation, foreign-business licence, visa or work-permit application. Registered capital and paid-up capital are different, and the applicable requirements depend on actual activities, ownership, permit category and any BOI or treaty conditions. Capital is a company funding requirement, not our service fee. Confirm the relevant criteria with DBD, the Department of Employment and Immigration before choosing the structure. Ask our team for a quotation for the agreed work.
- How long does company registration take?
- Separate document preparation, name reservation, signatures and DBD review from VAT registration, Social Security and bank onboarding. Timing depends on the filing channel, complete documents and any requests for corrections or additional evidence; no completion date is guaranteed. Ask our team for a quotation and a planning estimate after the proposed structure and documents have been reviewed.
- What ongoing accounting obligations does a Thai company have?
- A Thai limited company keeps statutory books and prepares audited annual statements even without trading. Tax returns depend on its payments, VAT status, accounting period and taxpayer category: PND1, PND3 and PND53 are not universal monthly returns for every company, and PP30 applies to VAT-registered businesses, including nil-return months while registration remains active. Check PND50, PND51 and each filing deadline with RD; check annual statements and shareholder filings separately with DBD.
