Questions international companies ask about Thailand.
Can a foreign company register products with the Thai FDA?
Yes, depending on the product and business model. The applicable pathway may involve a Thai licensed importer or other local regulatory requirements.
Does a Chinese manufacturer need a Thai importer?
For regulated products imported commercially into Thailand, local licensing and importer requirements may apply. The exact pathway depends on the product category and regulatory framework.
How does Thai FDA medical device classification work?
Medical devices are subject to product-specific regulatory requirements and risk-based classification. The applicable registration route depends on the device and its intended use.
Can a foreign company manufacture in Thailand?
Yes. However, company structure, foreign-business permissions, factory requirements and product-specific regulatory obligations should be assessed together.
Can a company be 100% foreign owned in Thailand?
In some circumstances, yes. BOI, Foreign Business License, Treaty of Amity and other legal pathways may be relevant depending on the activity.
Do I need a factory licence to manufacture in Thailand?
Factory licensing requirements depend on the nature, scale and characteristics of the manufacturing activity.
