- Foreign companies establishing a Thai presence before relocating staff
Documents required
- Director ID card or passport copy
- The DBD-reserved company name (or let us reserve it)
- A short description of the business activity
What a registered address means under Thai law
The registered address, or head office, is the address printed on the company affidavit. Courts, the Revenue Department and the Department of Business Development all serve notices there, so it is a legal service point rather than a cosmetic detail.
A compliant virtual office is not the purchase of an address. It is a genuine occupancy right supported by a service agreement, a landlord consent letter, a company signboard and physical space that officials can inspect.
Documents supplied with the address
- Consent letter permitting the company to use the premises as its head office
- House registration copy of the building, certified true
- ID copy of the person granting consent
- Location map showing the route from the main road
- Photographs of the building and company signboard for tax filings
- Service agreement stating the term and the right of occupancy
Choosing between address options
| Option | Entry cost | VAT inspection outcome | Key limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Own house | Lowest | Moderate | Address becomes public and the householder must consent |
| Condominium unit | Low | Weak | Most condominium by-laws restrict commercial use |
| Full office lease | High | Strong | Deposit, long lease and fit-out cost |
| Virtual office with real space | Moderate | Strong | Provider must allow physical inspection |
Common mistakes and how we avoid them
More questions we are asked
- Is a virtual office address legal for company registration in Thailand?
- Yes, when the company holds a genuine right of occupancy evidenced by a service agreement and consent letter, displays a signboard and can receive officials on site. Declaring an address the company has no right to use is what breaches the rules.
- Can I change the registered address later?
- Yes, by filing an amendment with the DBD and, if VAT registered, form Por Por 09 with the Revenue Department, plus notifications to your bank and counterparties.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
- Registering at a condominium without checking the by-laws
- Fix: Obtain written confirmation from the juristic person, or start with a commercial address
- No signboard installed before the tax inspection
- Fix: Install and photograph the signboard at least a week before filing
