Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) has the mandate to support and facilitate the investments into specific promoted sectors of activity.
We all know, doing business in Thailand is profitable and easy, but restrictions for foreigners are heavy. With BOI approval, most of such restrictions are eased, thanks to the support of Thai Government. Thus, a Company can be 100% foreign-owned, working permit restrictions are levied, and tax exempions are given to Thailand BOI Company.

Process is easy if managed professionally and with the right knowledge. The full process may take up to 90 days, and all we need is a summary of your project that we’ll analyze together in video-conference.

BOI company application process.

Contrary to what many sites write, BOI certification is NOT reserved to large investors willing to conduct business in Thailand. The minimum required investment is 1 million THB and even small projects with high added-value or special merits can be approved.

Nonetheless, certification process is laborious, painstaking, and full of unforeseen complications. A huge documentation will be requested by the Officers and they will investigate your project in deep. To avoid disappointment and wasted resources, expert assistance is essential.

Thai BOI certification process can be extremely time-consuming and if managed improperly, could overwhelm the company’s investments. Siam Trade Development can bring your project to the BOI Promotion in a time frame of three months, given that your project has eligibility criteria.

We follow the following step to give your Thai Company the statuts of BOI Promoted Company.

Project Feasibility study.

Before starting the BOI application we’ll perform a pre-check on your project together with BOI Officers.This will enable us to determine the category of your Project and the benefits you may aspire to; together, we’ll draw the project accordingly.

The screening will be repeated until all the dossier is complete according to BOI requirements. Then we’ll submit the Application and wait for the invitation to an interview that will take part within 10 days.

In this period of “New Normal”, considering that most investors can’t travel to Thailand, the interview can be held via video-conference with our personal physically present in BOI office.

BOI Interview

The interview is one of the most relevant moment in the whole application. Is in this occasion that the project must acquire the trust of the Officer, that will be your Ambassador in the committee that will decide IF and HOW to approve your application.

At the beginning interview will give you the impression of being a police interrogation. Then, after the Officer will understand the good faith and reality of the project, will go into deep with technical questions. This is why we strongly recommend that the header of the project will attend in person this important step of the process. Interview shall be held in English language. After the interview some additional documents or minor amendments may be required to comlete the application.
