Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but it depends on the business activity and the ownership structure. In many cases, foreigners use a Thai limited company with Thai majority shareholding, because certain business categories remain restricted under the Foreign Business Act.

There are also lawful alternatives in the right case, such as a Foreign Business License, BOI-promoted company, Industrial Estate Authority route, or Treaty of Amity structure for eligible U.S. nationals. One important point: Thai shareholders cannot be used as illegal nominees.

The Department of Business Development continues to investigate nominee shareholding arrangements and treats them as a serious compliance issue.

Usually, yes. In Thailand, a foreigner who is actually working in the business normally needs a valid work permit before starting work, even if that person is a shareholder, director, or founder. Being the owner of the company does not automatically remove the work permit requirement.

In most standard cases, foreigners also need the proper visa status, commonly a Non-Immigrant B visa or another qualifying status, before or together with the work permit process.

If there is no valid will, Thai law applies the rules of intestate succession. The estate then passes to statutory heirs in the order set by the Thai Civil and Commercial Code, with the surviving spouse also having rights under the law.

We guide clients through the legal framework, identify the correct heirs, prepare the evidence, and handle the court process needed to appoint an estate administrator and move the matter forward properly.

There is no single universal minimum capital for every business in Thailand, because the answer depends on the structure and what the company will actually do. For ordinary Thai companies, the capital should be appropriate for the business.

However, for foreign business permission and foreign work permit planning, capital becomes very important. BOI guidance notes a minimum of THB 2 million registered capital per work permit as a practical benchmark for many non-BOI cases, and foreign business licensing rules may also impose minimum investment requirements depending on the route used.

This is one of the first points we review in the initial assessment.

Yes. We do not only assist with new company formation. We also help with existing Thai companies that need restructuring, shareholder review, director changes, compliance corrections, visa and work permit support, contract review, licensing follow-up, or a legal check on whether the current setup is still safe and workable.

This is especially important where the company may have foreign ownership questions, nominee risk, or incomplete compliance history. The DBD’s recent enforcement focus on suspicious nominee arrangements is one reason why an existing-company review can be very valuable.

This depends heavily on the person’s activities and immigration status. Thailand now has the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) for certain workcation, digital nomad, remote worker, freelancer, and foreign talent categories, and the visa materials describe stays of 180 days per entry with 5-year multiple-entry validity for eligible applicants.

That said, not every remote-working situation fits neatly into one visa route, and the existence of a visa option does not mean every business activity can be carried out in the same way. We assess the real activity first, then advise on the safest lawful option.

Yes. We support clients not only with company setup, visas, and work permits, but also with ongoing monthly accounting and tax compliance. We work with an in-house accountant as part of our service structure, allowing us to assist with routine bookkeeping, monthly accounting work, tax-related compliance, and coordination of ongoing corporate obligations in Thailand.

This helps clients keep their business properly maintained after incorporation, rather than only during the initial setup stage.

If needed, we can also combine legal and accounting support so that company registration, visa and work permit matters, and ongoing compliance are handled in a more practical and coordinated way.

Yes. A foreigner can be a director of a Thai company, but that does not by itself solve the immigration and labor side. If the foreign director is actively working in Thailand, work permit and visa issues still need to be handled properly.

Ownership, management authority, immigration status, and work authorization are related issues, but they are not the same thing.

No. A Thai-majority company is only lawful if the Thai shareholders are genuine investors with real rights and real funding. If Thai shareholders are only holding shares on paper for a foreigner, the DBD may treat that as an illegal nominee arrangement.

The Department’s 2024 report specifically refers to investigations where Thai shareholders admitted they were listed without paying for the shares.

Not always. A juristic person must obtain its tax ID within the required period after incorporation, but VAT registration is a separate issue. Revenue Department guidance says VAT generally applies once annual turnover exceeds THB 1.8 million, although voluntary registration may also be possible in some cases.

Yes, where the facts support it. BOI promotion and treaty-based structures can be very useful in the right case, especially where foreign ownership, work permits, or sector restrictions are important.

These routes are not suitable for every business, so we first assess the business activity, nationality, investment profile, and long-term goals before recommending the structure.
