The Board of Investment (BOI) is a government agency that promotes foreign investment in Thailand. BOI-promoted companies enjoy a range of benefits, including tax exemptions, import duty exemptions, and 100% foreign ownership. Our experienced BOI lawyers in Thailand can help you determine if your business is eligible for BOI promotion and assist you with the application process.

If your business is majority-foreign-owned and engages in activities listed in List 2 or 3 of the Foreign Business Act, you will need a Foreign Business License. We can help you obtain the necessary license and ensure that your business complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

The US-Thai Treaty of Amity grants American citizens special rights regarding establishing businesses in Thailand, such as owning the majority of shares or entire companies and being exempt from some of the restrictions put on foreign investors. We can help you register your company under this treaty and ensure that you are taking advantage of all its benefits.
Foreign companies that want to conduct marketing or business support in Thailand can set up a representative or regional office.
