Money-Saving Tips
Start with the minimum capital required for your needs — you can increase later.
Use a virtual office address initially if physical office isn't needed for operations.
Apply for BOI promotion if eligible — the tax savings far outweigh application costs.
Bundle company registration + work permit + tax registration with one law firm for package pricing.
Consider using a Thai accounting firm rather than an international one for routine bookkeeping.
Costs are estimates based on 2026 rates. Government fees are set by statute but legal/accounting fees vary by provider. Always obtain written quotes before proceeding.
