A private Thai limited company is formed through a process which leads to the registration of a Memorandum of Association (Articles of Incorporation) and Articles of Association (By-laws), as its constitutive documents. Foreigners are allowed to participate for up to 49% of the shares in a Thai company (for the company to remain a Thai company), but are generally allowed to have controlling voting rights and management in a Thai company under the current Foreign Business Act. We take care of the company formation, supply all documents with an English translation and work from a standardized (questionnaire) procedure.
