Company registration
Foreign business registration and work permits, coordinated with Walailak Law Firm — a licensed Thai law firm — alongside your website and digital setup.
One point of contact, from your first message to your registered entity.
Registering a company in Thailand as a foreigner isn't complicated in principle — but it has real structural decisions to get right early.
Most foreign-owned businesses register as a Thai Limited Company. Depending on your industry, the Foreign Business Act may require a Foreign Business License, or your business may qualify for BOI (Board of Investment) promotion instead, which can allow full foreign ownership without that license. There are minimum capital and shareholder requirements either way, and the right structure depends on what your business actually does — not a one-size-fits-all answer. This is exactly the kind of decision worth getting from a licensed lawyer rather than a forum thread.
How Haven Siam helps
We're not a law firm, and we don't pretend to be. Company registration, BOI applications, and work permits are coordinated directly with Walailak Law Firm — you get one point of contact managing the timeline and translating progress, while the actual legal work is done by people licensed to do it. Your website, hosting, and digital setup happen in parallel, so you're not waiting on paperwork to have something to show.
Common questions
Do I need a Thai partner or shareholder?
It depends on your industry and structure — some businesses qualify for full foreign ownership via BOI, others use a Thai-majority structure. This is worth confirming with a lawyer before you commit to either path.
How long does registration take?
It varies by structure and how quickly documents come together on your end. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we understand what you're registering.
Can I register the company before I move to Thailand?
Often yes, depending on structure — this is a common question for founders planning ahead of a physical relocation. Best discussed directly given how much it depends on specifics.
