Understanding Gentle Law Business Support
When you start a business in Thailand, you face several legal and administrative hurdles. These include registering your company, obtaining the right visas and work permits, and maintaining ongoing corporate compliance. Our approach is designed to simplify these processes.
We focus on:
Clear communication: Explaining legal terms in plain English.
Structured steps: Providing checklists and timelines.
Transparency: Outlining fees and scope upfront.
Risk awareness: Helping you avoid common pitfalls.
Client respect: Offering calm, professional support.
This approach ensures you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
Step-by-Step Company Formation in Bangkok
Starting a company in Thailand involves several key steps. We guide you through each one, ensuring compliance with Thai laws and regulations.
Choose the right business structure
Most foreign-owned businesses register as a Private Limited Company. We help you decide if this fits your needs or if another structure is better.
Prepare required documents
This includes shareholder details, company objectives, and proof of address. We provide a checklist so you can gather everything efficiently.
Register the company name
We assist with name reservation to avoid delays.
File the Memorandum of Association
This document outlines your company’s details and shareholders.
Hold a statutory meeting
This formalizes company formation and appoints directors.
Register the company with the Department of Business Development (DBD)
This step officially creates your company.
Obtain a tax ID and VAT registration
We explain when VAT registration is mandatory and help you comply.
Each step has specific timelines and fees. We provide a clear schedule so you can track progress.
Immigration Support: Founder Visa and Work Permit Pathways
Foreign founders often need visas and work permits to live and work legally in Thailand. We help you understand your options and prepare the necessary documents.
Non-Immigrant Visa “B”: This visa allows you to work in Thailand. We explain eligibility and application steps.
Work Permit: Required to legally work. We guide you through the application and renewal process.
Founder Visa Pathway: For business owners, this visa supports long-term stay linked to your company.
We prepare all supporting documents, such as company registration certificates, financial statements, and employment contracts. Our goal is to reduce delays and increase your chances of approval.
Ongoing Corporate Compliance Made Simple
Compliance does not end after company registration. Thai law requires ongoing filings and record-keeping. We help you stay on track with:
Annual financial statements: Preparation and submission to the Revenue Department.
Tax filings: Corporate income tax, VAT, and withholding tax.
Annual general meeting (AGM): Organizing and documenting shareholder meetings.
Updating company records: Changes in directors, shareholders, or capital must be reported.
We provide reminders and checklists to ensure deadlines are met. Our transparent fee structure covers routine compliance tasks, so you avoid surprises.
What You Need to Prepare Before Engaging Gentle Law Business Support
To get started smoothly, prepare the following:
Personal identification: Passport copies of shareholders and directors.
Proof of address: For all company stakeholders.
Business plan summary: Helps clarify your company objectives.
Initial capital details: Amount and source of funds.
Office lease agreement: Required for company registration.
Previous company documents: If you have an existing business in Thailand.
Having these ready speeds up the process and reduces back-and-forth.
