Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Thai Company Limited?▾
A Thai Company Limited (บริษัท จำกัด) requires minimum 3 shareholders (2 for the new streamlined process) and a minimum registered capital based on business type. It's equivalent to a private limited company.
Can foreigners own Thai companies?▾
Under the Foreign Business Act, foreigners generally cannot hold more than 49% of shares in a Thai company for restricted businesses. Exceptions exist for BOI-promoted companies and businesses operating under Free Trade Agreements.
How do I search Thai companies?▾
DBD DataWarehouse (datawarehouse.dbd.go.th) provides free company search in Thai and English. You can search by company name, registration number, or director name.
What is a BOI promotion?▾
The Board of Investment (BOI) offers tax incentives and benefits (including permission for majority foreign ownership) for companies in promoted industries like technology, advanced manufacturing, and digital services.
How do I search for a company in Thailand by name?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official DBD Thailand service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact DBD number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Thailand company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Thailand register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search Thailand companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact DBD number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Thailand?▾
Search the exact DBD number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a Thailand company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the DBD Thailand supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
How do I find a company's DBD number?▾
Identify the legal entity using the available lookup or official DBD Thailand route. Record the DBD only where supplied, with its source and jurisdiction. Do not infer missing identifiers from a similar name.
