Frequently asked questions
Does this include everything it costs to set up a company?
No — this covers only the government registration fees paid to the Department of Business Development (DBD). It doesn't include accountant or lawyer fees, a company seal, VAT registration, or ongoing bookkeeping costs, which vary widely by provider.
Are these fees the same no matter how much capital I register with?
Yes, under the current fee schedule. Fees used to scale with registered capital under an older tiered schedule — a company registering with a small amount of capital paid close to a minimum, one registering with several million baht paid closer to a cap. That model no longer applies, which is why some other sources still quote different, capital-dependent numbers.
