A good opportunity deserves a sound foundation.

Where to start

1. Describe the business in one sentence: what you sell, to whom, and whether customers are in Thailand.
2. Check whether that activity is restricted for foreigners: foreign ownership rules.
3. Choose the structure: Thai-majority company with real Thai partners, BOI promotion, a Foreign Business Licence, or the US Treaty of Amity.
4. Register, open the bank account, and get your work permit.
