Thai Company Registration & Setup
Register your Thai Limited Company with the Department of Business Development. Full setup including tax ID, VAT, and bank accounts.
Setting up a company in Thailand involves registration with the Department of Business Development (DBD), tax registration with the Revenue Department, social security registration, and often a corporate bank account. We manage every step so you can focus on running your business.

Frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Thai company?
Generally no — Thai Limited Companies require 51% Thai ownership. Exceptions include BOI promotion, US Treaty of Amity protection, or obtaining a Foreign Business Licence.
What is the minimum registered capital?
Legally 15 THB per shareholder, but 2 million THB is the practical minimum if you want to sponsor work permits — 1 work permit per 2M of fully paid-up capital.
How long does Thai company registration take?
A standard Thai Limited Company can be registered in 7–14 business days once all shareholder documents are complete. BOI and foreign-owned structures take longer.
Do I need a Thai office address?
Yes. The company must have a registered office in Thailand with a valid lease or landlord consent letter. We can advise on virtual-office options where appropriate.
