Choosing the right corporate structure

The company structure impacts tax, land ownership rights and how quickly foreign staff can obtain work permits. Our advisors evaluate shareholder nationality, business scope, expansion plans, tax strategy and BOI eligibility to recommend a fully compliant structure that maximises benefits.

BOI benefits that investors often overlook

Beyond corporate tax holidays of up to 13 years, BOI promotion grants land ownership for business use, the ability to bring in foreign experts, import-duty exemptions on machinery and an OSOS fast track for visas and work permits.

Frequently asked questions

How much can a foreigner own?

Up to 49% by default, or 100% under (1) BOI promotion, (2) US Treaty of Amity, or (3) a Foreign Business Licence granted case-by-case.

Is there a minimum capital?

No statutory minimum for a plain Thai company. THB 2 million is required per foreign employee needing a work permit. BOI thresholds vary by category.

How long does BOI approval take?

60-90 business days for medium-sized projects that meet automatic criteria, and 120-180 days for larger projects requiring board review. We monitor status weekly.

How do I trademark globally?

Use the Madrid Protocol — one filing extends protection to up to 130 member countries, cheaper than filing individually. In practice we file the Thai application first, then use it as the basis for a Madrid Protocol application covering the additional member countries you select, which keeps renewals on one calendar instead of many national deadlines.

Which TAT licence do I need?

Inbound (bringing tourists to Thailand), Outbound (Thai nationals abroad), Domestic (within Thailand) or General (all three). The category depends on whether you sell inbound, outbound or domestic itineraries, and each tier carries its own bank guarantee and Thai-shareholding requirement. We map your business model to the correct tier before any paperwork starts.
