Thailand Company Formation. Thiland Limited Company Registration
Main Characteristics and the basic rules of Company registration in Thailand
Limited Company – a legal entity whose liability is limited by shares. Suitable for both local business and international activities. 51% of the shares are owned by a Thai citizen. However, if you do not receive income from Thailand, this rule may not be observed.
There are also forms of companies with foreign participation:
Thailand Manufacturing Company: 100% export oriented manufacturing organization.
Foreign Business License: a foreign company whose purpose is to create economic benefits in the state (organization of new jobs, payment of taxes, etc.)
BOI (Board of Investment Company) is an innovative, investment company that invests in the development of the country (investments from 3,000,000 THB).
A limited liability company (Limited) must have:
Directors
Appointed from one director. His citizenship and residency are irrelevant. If there is no activity in Thailand, it is not required to formalize the director.
Shareholders
The company is owned by at least 3 shareholders. If an organization sells goods or services in Thailand, then 51% of the shares are owned by Thais.
There are no mandatory requirements for hiring local employees if the activity is carried out outside the country.
The minimum amount of the authorized capital is 15 baht. In order not to raise additional questions from the bank, we recommend depositing at least 200,000 baht (about 3,000 USD).
If activities are planned in Thailand, then the capital must be adequate for the planned business. For example, when obtaining a work permit, the base amount reaches 2 million baht.
To register a company in Thailand and open an account, the director will need to fly to Thailand.
