Thai Limited Company setup

We register your Thai Limited Company end to end: name reservation, memorandum of association, shareholder and director structure, registered capital and company seal. We advise honestly on the 49% foreign shareholding rule and how to hold genuine control legally.

BOI and Treaty of Amity — up to 100% foreign ownership

For qualifying businesses, a BOI (Board of Investment) promotion or a US Treaty of Amity company allows up to 100% foreign ownership plus tax and work-permit benefits. We assess whether your business qualifies and prepare the application.

Licenses, permits and ongoing compliance

We obtain the licenses your business needs — restaurant, alcohol, hotel, import/export — register for VAT and social security, and keep your company compliant with the Foreign Business Act and annual filing requirements. Pair this with our accounting service for a complete back office.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Company Formation — FAQ

Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Thailand?

Generally a foreigner can own up to 49% of a standard Thai Limited Company. Up to 100% foreign ownership is possible through a BOI promotion or, for Americans, a US Treaty of Amity company. Jariya advises which route fits your business.

How long does it take to register a company in Koh Samui?

A standard Thai Limited Company can typically be registered within one to two weeks once the shareholders and documents are ready. BOI applications take longer. We manage the whole timeline.

How many shareholders does a Thai company need?

A Thai Limited Company requires a minimum of two shareholders and at least one director. We help you structure this legally and protect your control of the business.
