Company setup firms in Chiang Rai
Company setup firms in Chiang Rai that register a Thai company properly, so the ownership structure holds up years later, not just on day one.
Registering a Thai limited company is quick and cheap; getting the structure right is the part that matters. The Foreign Business Act caps foreign ownership at 49 percent in most sectors, so how the other 51 percent is held, and whether you need BOI promotion or a Foreign Business License, decides whether you actually control what you paid for.
A standard setup runs from around 25,000 to 60,000 THB in fees plus the paid-up capital your visa and work permit require. Be wary of anyone offering cheap nominee shareholders, because nominee arrangements are illegal and the crackdowns are real. Pay for a structure that is genuinely defensible.
Common questions
- How much does it cost to set up a company in Chiang Rai?
- Registration and professional fees typically run 25,000 to 60,000 THB. On top of that you fund the registered capital, commonly 2 million THB per work permit if you are not BOI promoted.
- Can a foreigner own a Thai company outright?
- In most sectors the Foreign Business Act limits foreign ownership to 49 percent. BOI promotion or a Foreign Business License can allow majority or full foreign ownership in qualifying activities. Nominee shareholders are illegal, so structure it legitimately.
