No, the actual company registration can be handled 100% remotely. Our legal team will prepare all bilingual documents and email them to you for signature at your local Thai embassy or notary. However, opening a corporate bank account usually requires the foreign director's physical presence in Bangkok for a few hours.
No. Under Thai law, you are only required to inject a minimum of 25% of your registered capital into the corporate bank account within the first few weeks of incorporation. The remaining 75% can be kept as uncalled capital, which the board of directors can request at a later date as the business grows.
We strongly advise against using random, unverified individuals as "nominees," as this violates the Foreign Business Act. If you do not have trusted local partners, Siam Corporate can structure a secure, institutional joint-venture framework using compliant Thai corporate entities, firmly bound by Preference Share agreements to protect your assets.
A standard Thai-Majority company (51% Thai owned) can legally purchase and own land and property in Thailand. However, a 100% foreign-owned company (under BOI or FBL) cannot generally own land, with the exception of specific permits granted by the BOI or IEAT strictly for industrial or manufacturing purposes.
Thailand has no foreign exchange restrictions on repatriating legitimate corporate profits. Once your company has paid its corporate income tax and declared a dividend, you can easily wire the funds abroad. Please note that a standard 10% withholding tax applies to dividends remitted overseas.
Absolutely. Many international startups use this exact strategy. They launch quickly using a Thai-majority structure to sign leases and hire staff, while concurrently submitting a 3-6 month BOI application. Once BOI promotion is approved, we legally restructure the company to 100% foreign ownership.
