Frequently Asked

Common Questions

Can foreigners own a company in Thailand?
Foreign nationals may hold shares in a Thai company, though the Foreign Business Act places restrictions on majority foreign ownership in certain business categories. There are structured pathways — including BOI promotion, Treaty of Amity applications for US nationals, and appropriate shareholding arrangements — that our attorneys can advise on based on your specific industry and objectives.
How long does business registration in Thailand take?
A standard company limited registration with the Department of Business Development typically takes between two and four weeks from the point all required documents and decisions are confirmed. BOI applications involve additional review periods. We provide a specific timeline estimate once we understand your chosen structure and the completeness of the documentation.
What types of contracts do you review and draft?
Our contract practice covers a broad range of commercial agreements — including supplier contracts, service agreements, distribution arrangements, joint ventures, licensing terms, confidentiality agreements, and employment contracts. We examine each document for legal sufficiency under Thai commercial law and alignment with your commercial intentions.
Do you work with both Thai and international clients?
Yes. Dharma Counsel serves Thai-incorporated businesses, foreign investors entering the Thai market, and multinational enterprises managing compliance obligations in Thailand. All client communications and documentation can be conducted in English.
What is included in the Corporate Governance Program?
The six-month program begins with a compliance assessment of your existing frameworks and regulatory obligations. We then develop a remediation and improvement plan, assist in drafting or updating compliance policies, support regulatory filing reviews, and conduct quarterly governance reviews. Monthly progress reports are provided throughout the engagement.
How are fees structured?
Our listed prices represent the starting point for each service type. The final fee depends on the complexity and scope of the specific matter. We provide a clear fee estimate before any engagement commences, so there are no unexpected costs as work progresses.
