What are the estimated annual holding costs for maintaining a Thai company?
What is the approximate annual holding cost of a Thai company? Just the pure overhead of registration/maintenance...
Answer summary
The annual holding costs of a Thai company can vary significantly based on multiple factors including the type of business entity, legal requirements, and operational activities. Initial registration and an immigration card for a first-time setup can cost around $5,000. For ongoing maintenance, costs can be approximately $12,000 to $15,000 annually for a non-active company. Other expenses may include lawyer fees, accounting services, and potential payments for 51% Thai partners if applicable. Specific numbers may vary based on the nature and scale of the business, with some expats reporting costs as low as 350 Baht for small operations, while others incurred up to £9,000 over two years.

Last year I spoke to an agent in regards to becoming part owner in a currently running Thai owner bar and the registration and visa was quoted at 65k baht and 35k baht for work permit and yes of course there would be staff cost to get work permit but as bar has staff that's not an issue, this quick quote was given to by Magna Carta on South Pattaya road just by the junction with the big yellow Tony's fitness place
