Company Registration

Company Incorporation

The registration itself, done correctly — name reservation, memorandum, statutory filings and the tax registrations that follow, run as one managed process.

Straightforward registrations are usually completed within REGISTRATION_TIMEFRAME once all documents and signatures are in hand. Foreign shareholding or licensing questions add time before filing, not usually at the registry itself.

A Thai private limited company can now be formed with a minimum of two promoters and maintained with two shareholders, following the Civil and Commercial Code amendment in force since 2023. Nominee shareholding to disguise foreign ownership is unlawful — we do not structure around it.

It depends on the business activity. Activities restricted under the Foreign Business Act need a Foreign Business Licence, BOI promotion or treaty protection before majority foreign ownership is possible. This is assessed before the filing, not after.

Several steps can be handled through a power of attorney and documents signed abroad. Whether we can run your incorporation fully remotely depends on the case: REMOTE_SIGNING_NOTE.

Not yet. Choosing the structure is business-structuring advice, handled under our Corporate & Business Advisory practice. This service carries out the registration once the structure is settled — and if the choice is still open when you contact us, we route the question there first.
