Jurisdiction overview: Thailand
Thailand is an attractive jurisdiction for doing business in Southeast Asia, offering a low entry threshold, a growing economy, and strong support for foreign investors. Company registration in Thailand provides access to both the domestic market and cross-border trade within the ASEAN region.
Foreign founders can choose from several business structures, including Thai companies with foreign participation, BOI-promoted projects, and International Business Centers (IBC) with tax incentives. Subject to conditions, companies may receive full exemption from corporate tax or benefit from reduced rates as low as 8.5%.
One of Thailand’s key advantages is its flexible policy on hiring foreign staff, along with the possibility of obtaining business visas and work permits for directors and shareholders.
Thailand is particularly attractive for companies in tourism, IT, e-commerce, international logistics, and manufacturing. The country is actively developing digital infrastructure and offers incentives for tech projects and startups. A reasonable tax regime, strategic geographic location, and government support make Thailand a strong platform for scaling business in Asia.
