How long does it take to register a company in Thailand?

The company registration itself — name reservation, memorandum of association and registration — is usually completed within a few weeks once your documents are ready. Foreign shareholders need documents apostilled or legalised and sometimes translated, which is often the slowest part from India.

After registration, budget additional time for opening a corporate bank account, obtaining a tax ID, registering for VAT if applicable, and securing any sector-specific licenses. In practice, most investors are fully operational within one to two months of starting the process.
