Owning a Thai company does not by itself let you work in it. To work legally you need the right visa, usually a Non-B, plus a work permit, and the company must meet ratios like registered capital and Thai employees per foreign work permit. Get this wrong and immigration can undo it fast.
The BOI route relaxes several of these requirements and speeds up processing, which is why it is worth checking eligibility early. A good specialist in Koh Samui maps the visa, the work permit, and the company structure together, because fixing them in the wrong order wastes months.
Common questions
- Do I need a work permit if I own the company?
- Yes. Ownership and the right to work are separate in Thailand. To work in your own company you need a valid visa, normally a Non-B, and a work permit, and the company must meet the capital and Thai-staff ratios.
- How many Thai employees do I need per work permit?
- Outside BOI, the common rule is four Thai employees per foreign work permit, alongside 2 million THB of registered capital per permit. BOI promotion relaxes these ratios significantly.
