FAQ on Company Formation Matters in Thailand

1. Can I start a company in Thailand even if I’m not a local resident?
Regardless of your nationality or residence you are welcome to open a company in Thailand. Thailand’s policy provides equal rights to foreign investors and local ones.

2. Do you offer a virtual address if I don’t have an available location?
Yes. The process is fully compliant with Thai regulations. Once the client obtains a real office address, the service can be canceled, and the company address can be officially updated with the authorities.

3. How can I open a bank account in Thailand?                                 
We assist clients with opening a corporate bank account. We will accompany the client to the bank branch located near our office. The client must be physically present at the bank for identity verification purposes. The bank account can usually be opened after the company has been established for at least 1 month. The process normally takes approximately 3 hours. However, for certain nationalities, the bank may require additional review time, and the process may not be completed within the same day. Foreign currency accounts are also available.

We provide full assistance with VAT registration, including preparation of all required documents. The process is completed through a power of attorney, meaning the client does not need to visit the Revenue Department personally.

We also provide full assistance with social security registration, including document preparation and submission. The process is handled through a power of attorney, so the client does not need to visit the Social Security Office personally.
