Foreign Business License

Foreign-owned businesses looking to operate in Thailand often face various legal restrictions to what business activities they can undertake per the Foreign Business Act. Obtaining a Foreign Business License is crucial to ensure compliance and unlock business opportunities. 

The Foreign Business License is awarded to foreign companies and investors who wish to participate in sectors or industries typically restricted to Thai citizens under the Foreign Business Act. The need for an FBL arises from the desire of foreign companies to have majority ownership and avoid the requirement of having a Thai partner.
