Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 (1999)

Last updated on July 22, 2026

This page is being rebuilt. Our annotated Foreign Business Act is temporarily offline while we re-check the section numbering and the Thai statutory text against the official text published by the Office of the Council of State (Krisdika). We would rather show you nothing than show you a section number we are not certain of.

In the meantime, the official translation of the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 (1999) is published by the Board of Investment, and the authoritative Thai text is on krisdika.go.th.

If you need advice on whether your business falls under List One, Two or Three, on the minimum capital requirement, or on a Foreign Business Licence or Certificate, contact us and a lawyer will answer directly.
