Bangkok answers
What do I need to start a company in Thailand?
Quick answer
Expect questions about shareholding, capital, your business activity and work permits. Prepare your documents before the first meeting and use a licensed advisor.
Company formation in Thailand is well trodden but detail-heavy, and the requirements depend on the structure you choose and the activity you register. Shareholding, registered capital, office address and work permit eligibility are the questions that come up first.
Rules change, so treat community advice as orientation and confirm specifics with a licensed lawyer or accountant. The BangkokConnect guide on starting a company sets out what to prepare so that first meeting is productive rather than exploratory.
