BOI Application

One-Stop Service Center for BOI Application

What is BOI Promotion?

Over the last 5 years the new Thai government has made many changes to the foreign investment laws in the hopes of attracting foreign companies to setting up in Thailand. Changes have also been made to the speed and ease of setting up a foreign business entity in Thailand. The Thailand Board of Investment is the body in charge of attracting more foreign investment into Thailand. Any company incorporated in Thailand can enjoy a whole host of benefits from being certified as a “BOI Promoted Company” by the Board of Investment of Thailand. Beyond major tax incentives, applying to be a “BOI Company”, comes with a range of non-tax benefits. Such as streamlined visa applications and waivers on foreign land ownership restrictions.

To promote foreign investment within the country, the Office of the Board of Investment of Thailand has revamped foreign investment laws. Because of this, a foreign entrepreneur can more easily and quickly set up a business in Thailand. Considering Thailand’s favorable economic climate, foreign investors have never been better. A significant reason such companies must apply for BOI approval is that they can reap many benefits of doing business in Thailand after getting the same. Overall, it is now safer for BOI-approved foreign companies to make these investments and expand their business.

1. Exemption from Corporate Income Tax for some years.

2. Reduction of taxes or their exemption on dividends due to be paid to shareholders.

3. Reduced or no import duties on raw materials, machinery, and essential commodities.

4. Lesser costs of electricity, transportation, water supply, and installation and construction facilities.

Non-Tax Benefits

Business owners have permission to send money abroad in foreign currency. They also get protection against the nationalization of their company.

Application Preparation

Once you provide the required details, the team at Interloop prepares and fills in the application for you, which can be issued either in your firm’s name or your name. It consists of two parts:

Project Plan

As per the industry that your business promotes, we ask for information about your work processes. We also want to know how and what value you bring to your customers, the details of the product, software, hardware, and machinery used in production. The entire process takes about a month. Then, after around 14 days, we will inform you of the project presentation date.

Business Plan

Here, we consider and analyze the financial value your company brings to the economy. Your future expenses, sales, clients, marketing, hiring, and employees requirements are taken into consideration.

Application Submission and Scheduling BOI Presentation

We submit your completed application online and set a date for you to present your project/idea to the Board Of Investment committee. We get the Board’s resolution in around 1.5 months.

Company Registration

Once we receive a positive resolution from the Board, you are usually given six months to register with the Department of Business Development. It is important to note that the Board can promote only the companies registered in Thailand.

Issuing the BOI Certificate

There are two requirements for the certificate to get issued: the business must be registered in Thailand, and you must show Proof of Funds–at least one-fourth of the essential capital requirement of 1M+ THB.

Securing Work Permit and Visa

These documents are required for the employees & the foreign director.

Achieving Compliance

Now that you have got the certificate, officials at your BOI-promoted business have to regularly notify the authorities concerned about your business activities and accounts.
