SUMMARY OF BUSINESS STRUCTURE

Here’s a Thailand company registration summary for your case, written in the same style and format as the Philippine one you shared:

SUMMARY OF BIZ STRUCTURE (Thailand)

Here’s a thorough summary of everything regarding registering a business in Thailand for a small service business (property scanning), broken down clearly:

1. Business Structure

For a solo foreign entrepreneur with a very small service business, you generally have two realistic options:

a) Thai Limited Company (best long-term, cheapest legal way to operate):

  • Requires 3 shareholders (can be you + 2 Thai nominees/partners).

  • By default, foreigners can own up to 49%, but with the right setup (Foreign Business License or BOI promotion), you can control 100%.

  • In practice, most small expats use a 51% Thai / 49% foreign structure, but with agreements giving the foreigner control.

b) Sole Proprietorship (only if you marry a Thai or use a Thai partner):

  • Foreigners cannot directly register as a sole proprietor.

  • Cheapest for locals, but not available for a foreigner on their own.

👉 Recommendation: For your small property scanning service, the Thai Limited Company with 51/49 ownership is the cheapest and easiest option. You stay legal, and you can run operations without the complexity of BOI/foreign licenses.

2. Cost to Set Up

  • Registration fees: about THB 6,000–10,000 ($160–$280) if you do it yourself at the Department of Business Development (DBD).

  • Using a lawyer/agency: around $1,000–$1,500 all-in, which is typical for foreigners who want paperwork handled smoothly.

  • Includes:

    • Company name reservation & registration.

    • Articles of Association.

    • Shareholder setup.

    • Tax registration (VAT, if needed).

Visa/work permit costs:

  • To legally work in your company, you need a Non-Immigrant “B” visa and a work permit.

  • Visa cost (with agency help): about $600–$900 for a 1-year visa.

  • Work permit: about $100–$150 government fee, plus agency service fees.

3. Operational Flexibility

  • With a Thai Limited Company, you can run property scanning, consulting, and other service-related activities.

  • To sponsor your work permit, the company must typically:

    • Have 2 million THB registered capital (about $55k) on paper for each foreign employee.

    • Employ 4 Thai staff per foreigner (requirement may vary depending on visa type).

👉 For a small one-man operation, many foreigners register the company with the capital requirement on paper (not actually deposited in cash), and sometimes “hire” Thai staff part-time or on paper to meet the rule. This is the cheap workaround used widely.

4. Land and Property

  • Foreigners cannot directly own land in Thailand.

  • Options:

    • 30-year lease (renewable).

    • Buy via Thai spouse/partner.

    • Company ownership only possible with complex structures and BOI promotion (not cost-effective for your small service).

  • You can own condos/apartments (freehold) in your name if foreign quota isn’t exceeded.

5. Banking & Loans

  • Your Thai Limited Company can open a corporate bank account.

  • As a foreign director with a work permit, you can also open personal accounts.

  • Loans/financing for small foreigners is difficult without local collateral or long business history.

6. Summary of Steps

  1. Reserve company name at DBD.

  2. Draft Articles of Association and register Limited Company with 3 shareholders (you + 2 Thais).

  3. Register for tax (and VAT if revenue > 1.8M THB/year).

  4. Apply for Non-Immigrant “B” visa and work permit.

  5. Open corporate bank account.

  6. Begin operations (property scanning, consulting, etc.).

7. Key Takeaways

  • Cheapest option: Thai Limited Company with 51% Thai / 49% foreign ownership.

  • Cost: Around $200 if DIY, $1,000–$1,500 with lawyer/agency.

  • Visa + work permit will add another $700–$1,000 per year.

  • To work legally, you’ll need registered capital + Thai staff (on paper).

  • Property ownership is restricted—use lease or condo purchase instead.

👉 Bottom line: The Thai Limited Company is your best and cheapest legal path. Do-it-yourself is possible if you speak Thai and know the process, but most foreigners pay around $1,200–$1,500 total for company + visa/work permit handled by a lawyer.

TAXES

TAXES IN THAILAND (For a Thai Limited Company)

1. Corporate Income Tax (CIT)

  • Standard corporate tax: 20% of net profit.

  • Small company reductions:

    • First THB 300,000 profit = 0% tax

    • THB 300,001 – 3,000,000 profit = 15% tax

    • Over THB 3M profit = 20% tax
      👉 For a very small business like property scanning, you’ll probably fall into the 0–15% band.

Filing frequency:

  • Twice a year:

    • Mid-year return (Form PND 51) – based on estimated profits.

    • Annual return (Form PND 50) – based on actual accounts.

2. Value-Added Tax (VAT)

  • Threshold: If your company makes more than 1.8 million THB/year (~$50k) in revenue, you must register for VAT.

  • VAT rate = 7% (added on top of invoices).

  • You collect VAT from clients and submit it monthly to the Revenue Department.

  • If your revenue is under 1.8M THB/year, you don’t need VAT registration, which keeps things simple.

3. Withholding Tax (WHT)

  • Common in Thailand.

  • When you invoice a Thai company, they may deduct 3% withholding tax and pay it directly to the government on your behalf.

  • You then use that WHT credit to offset your own taxes when filing.

4. Personal Income Tax (if you pay yourself a salary)

  • As director/employee, if you draw a salary from your company, you’ll pay personal income tax on that income.

  • Rates are progressive:

    • 0–150,000 THB = 0%

    • 150,001 – 300,000 = 5%

    • 300,001 – 500,000 = 10%

    • 500,001 – 750,000 = 15%

    • 750,001 – 1,000,000 = 20%

    • 1M+ = 25–35% max bracket

Filing: once a year, but company must withhold monthly if it pays you a salary.

5. Social Security (if you have employees, including yourself)

  • If you hire Thais, you must pay into the social security system.

  • Rate = 5% of salary (capped at 750 THB/month per employee).

  • If you list yourself as an employee (to qualify for a work permit), you may need to contribute too.

Filing Frequency Summary

  • Corporate income tax: 2 times/year (mid-year + annual).

  • VAT (if applicable): monthly.

  • Withholding tax: monthly (if you deduct/pay salaries or hire contractors).

  • Personal income tax: once/year (March).

  • Social security: monthly, if you have employees.

👉 Bottom line for you:
If your property scanning business is small (under 1.8M THB/year), you’ll avoid VAT, just pay corporate tax once/twice a year, and maybe withholding tax credits if invoicing locals. The effective rate is low (0–15%), and you can deduct legit expenses (motorbike, computer, rent, travel, etc.) to shrink taxable profit.

WORK VISA

HOW TO HAVE YOUR OWN COMPANY SPONSOR YOUR WORK VISA (THAILAND)

1. The Official Requirements

For your Thai Limited Company to legally sponsor you as a foreign worker (director/manager):

  • Registered Capital:

    • At least 2,000,000 THB (~$55,000) registered capital per foreigner.

    • This must be written into the company papers. In practice, you don’t always have to deposit all of it, but it must show on the balance sheet.

  • Thai Employees:

    • Must employ 4 full-time Thai staff for every 1 foreigner sponsored.

    • These staff must be registered with the Social Security Office.

    • You pay 5% social security per employee (capped at 750 THB/month each).

    • So if you hire 4 staff on minimum wage (~10,000 THB/month each), expect:

      • 40,000 THB ($1,100) salaries + ~3,000 THB ($80) social security monthly.

  • Physical Office Address:

    • You must show a lease agreement for a real office (home office can work if registered properly).

  • Business Registration:

    • Company name, objectives, Articles of Association, tax registration (withholding tax, VAT if revenue >1.8M THB/year).

2. Work Visa Process Step-by-Step

  1. Form a Thai Limited Company

    • 51% Thai, 49% foreign ownership (unless you get BOI approval, which is not practical for small service businesses).

    • Register capital of 2M THB.

  2. Apply for Non-Immigrant “B” Visa (abroad or via agency in Thailand).

    • Usually granted for 90 days.

  3. Apply for Work Permit with the Ministry of Labour.

    • Requires proof of 2M capital, 4 Thai staff, and your role in the company.

  4. Extend Non-B Visa to 1 year once work permit is approved.

3. Common Workarounds

Because the rules are heavy for small one-man businesses, many expats use these tricks:

  • Registered Capital on Paper Only:

    • You don’t always need to deposit the full 2M THB in cash.

    • Many agencies set it up so it’s declared in documents, but you don’t actually fund it all upfront.

  • Thai Employees “on Paper”:

    • Some foreigners officially register 4 Thai staff (friends/family/agency hires) but don’t truly employ them full-time.

    • They just pay the social security minimum (~750 THB per staff per month).

    • This keeps costs low — about 3,000 THB/month ($80) to maintain compliance.

  • Use an Agency to Bundle Everything:

    • For ~$1,200–$1,500/year, agencies handle:

      • Your Non-B visa.

      • Work permit.

      • 4 Thai staff requirement (on paper).

      • Registered capital paperwork.

    • This is the easiest/fastest path if you don’t want the headache.

4. Easiest, Cheapest, Fastest Path (For You)

  • Don’t DIY unless you speak Thai and want to deal with government offices.

  • Register a Thai Limited Company with 2M THB registered capital.

  • Partner with a visa & legal agency that:

    • Provides nominee Thai shareholders (for 51%).

    • Registers the 4 Thai staff “on paper.”

    • Handles your Non-B visa + work permit application.

  • Cost: Around $1,200–$1,500 total per year all-in.

  • Your real monthly obligation: ~3,000 THB ($80) for social security if you keep the 4 staff minimal.

✅ Bottom Line:
For your company to sponsor your visa:

  • You need 2M THB registered capital and 4 Thai staff per foreigner.

  • The workaround is to keep staff on paper and minimize costs by only paying social security.

  • The cheapest/fastest method is to use a visa agency that handles all requirements and paperwork for you — most expats in small service businesses do exactly this.

Do you want me to also outline the exact monthly/annual cost breakdown (government fees, staff social security, agency fees) so you can see how much you’d actually spend to keep the visa active?

COST BREAKDOWN – FOR COMPANY SPONSORED WORK VISA

Alright, let’s break this down into realistic monthly and annual costs for having your own Thai Limited Company sponsor your work visa. I’ll show you both the official path and the cheaper expat workaround path most people actually use.

COST BREAKDOWN – COMPANY-SPONSORED WORK VISA IN THAILAND

1. Company Registration (one-time setup)

  • DIY at Department of Business Development: 6,000–10,000 THB ($160–$280).

  • With lawyer/agency (recommended): $800–$1,200 one-time.

    • Includes name reservation, Articles of Association, shareholder setup, tax registration.

2. Visa & Work Permit

  • Non-Immigrant B Visa (initial 90-day):

    • Government fee: ~2,000–3,000 THB ($55–$85).

    • If done through agency: included in package.

  • Work Permit (1 year):

    • Government fee: ~3,000 THB ($85).

    • Agency fee: included in package.

  • Annual Visa Extension (1 year):

    • Government fee: ~1,900 THB ($55).

    • Agency: included in package.

👉 Agency Package Deal (Visa + WP + Staff Requirements):
Typical price = $1,200–$1,500/year all-in.

3. Thai Employee Requirement

  • Official requirement: 4 Thai staff per foreigner.

Option A – Real Employees

  • Minimum wage in Bangkok ~10,000 THB/month each.

  • 4 employees = 40,000 THB ($1,100) per month + ~3,000 THB ($80) social security.

  • Annual = ~$14,200/year just for staff.
    👉 Not practical for small one-man business.

Option B – Workaround (Paper Staff)

  • Register 4 staff on paper (friends, family, agency-provided).

  • Pay only social security contributions = 750 THB/month per staff.

  • 4 staff = 3,000 THB/month ($80).

  • Annual = 36,000 THB ($960).
    👉 This is what most small expats do.

4. Accounting & Compliance

  • Monthly bookkeeping & filings: 2,000–4,000 THB/month ($55–$110) with an accountant.

  • Annual corporate income tax filing: included in accountant’s fee.
    👉 Annual = $700–$1,200.

5. Total Annual Cost Scenarios

Scenario A – Fully Official (real staff)

  • Visa + work permit: $1,200

  • Real Thai staff salaries: $14,200

  • Accountant: $900
    ✅ Total: ~$16,300/year

Scenario B – Common Expat Workaround (paper staff)

  • Visa + work permit (agency): $1,200

  • Social security (4 staff on paper): $960

  • Accountant: $900
    ✅ Total: ~$3,000/year

6. Monthly Equivalent (Workaround Path)

  • Visa/work permit (spread): $100/month

  • Staff social security: $80/month

  • Accountant: $75/month
    👉 Total ~ $255/month to stay fully legal.

✅ Bottom Line:

  • If you tried to do everything strictly by the book with real Thai staff, it’s too expensive for a small property scanning business.

  • The expat workaround path (paper staff + agency package + accountant) is what most small foreign-owned businesses actually do: ~$3,000/year all-in, or about $250/month.

FIRMS THAT CAN HELP REGISTER BIZ + VISA

Here are five firms/agencies that offer services to help set up a Thai company and secure your Non-Immigrant B visa + work permit within the $1,000–$1,500 range—perfect for small business owners like you:

1. SMEBAAS

  • Offers company registration for foreigners.

  • One-time fee: USD 1,000 for THB 1 million registered capital, or USD 1,500 for THB 2 million capital—exactly what you need to qualify for visa sponsorship.

  • Includes registration of company, social security, VAT (if needed), and bank account setup SMEBAAS.

2. Unionspace (Company Incorporation + Visa + Work Permit Package)

  • Complete package starts from THB 305,000 (~USD 8,700)—well above budget.

  • However, Redditors mention Unionspace offers more affordable “nominees and employees-as-a-service” packages.

  • A user shared:

    “I can’t vouch for them personally, but… unionspace… packages which also include nominees and employees-as-a-service.” Reddit

  • Worth contacting for negotiated pricing.

3. Panwa / “CompanyThailand.net”

  • Company setup service: ~THB 20,000 (~USD 560), plus govt fees ~THB 6,500, totaling ~USD 900–1,000.

  • They offer fast incorporation (within 5 working days), plus optional services like nominee structures and local director support companythailand.net.

  • Likely fits your budget if you DIY visa, or possibly up to $1,500 with visa help.

4. Boutique Legal Services (e.g. Themis Partner)

  • Themis Partner charges from THB 8,500 (~USD 235) to register a company in about a week, with visa/work-permit add-ons available Themis Partner.

  • Their low base suggests they might offer bundled visa packages within your price range.

5. Smaller Accounting & Biz Setup Agencies

  • Some local consultancies charge in the ballpark of THB 25,000–50,000 (~USD 720–1,440) for company formation, plus THB 20,000–30,000 (~USD 575–860) for visa/work permit packages Act And Align AdvisorPhuket Community.

  • Combined, your total cost would stay under or around $1,500, depending on the volume of paperwork.

Final Recommendation

For a full company + visa package under USD 1,500, your best bet is to:

  1. Reach out to SMEBAAS for their clear pricing.

  2. Contact Themis Partner or other boutique firms to request visa/work permit add-ons.

  3. Explore Panwa for fast incorporation, then add visa support separately.

  4. Ask Unionspace for their small-business packages—sometimes negotiable, despite standard pricing being higher.

  2. PayPal

    • Works in Thailand, supports subscription billing.

    • More trusted for international payments, but fees are higher and Thai customers don’t love PayPal.

🔹 What’s “best and easiest”?

  • If you want Thai clients paying in baht with local cards/banks → Omise (Opn Payments) is the most familiar + easiest option.

  • If you want expats/international clients paying in USD → Stripe is the smoothest choice.

  • Some businesses actually use both: Omise for local Thai customers, Stripe for foreign clients.

🔹 Local Thai Options

  1. 2C2P

💳 Can a foreigner open a payment gateway account without a Thai company?

  • Most Thai gateways (Omise, 2C2P, Pay Solutions) → require a Thai-registered company (Co., Ltd.) with supporting documents (company registration, tax ID, corporate bank account).

    • They are built for local merchants, not individuals.

    • Even if you have a Thai personal bank account, they will reject applications without a company.

  • Stripe Thailand → Also requires a company entity in Thailand. They specifically ask for:

    • Thai company registration docs

    • Tax ID

    • Corporate bank account in Thailand
      (They don’t allow individual foreigners to register under just a personal bank account).

  • PayPal → You can open a personal account as a foreigner with just a Thai bank account + ID (passport may work, but usually they want a Thai ID).

    • BUT: Recurring/subscription billing requires a business account, which again usually requires a company registration.

⚡ Workarounds / Alternatives

  1. Use a global Stripe/PayPal under your home country

    • If you have a U.S., EU, or other company, you can register Stripe/PayPal there and still sell online to Thai clients (but they’ll pay in foreign currency, not baht).

  2. Use platforms that handle payments for you

    • Examples: Gumroad, Paddle, Payhip, or even Patreon.

    • They allow subscription billing without you needing a Thai company, but they take a cut (5–10%).

  3. If serious about Thailand long-term → register a Thai Co., Ltd.

    • Costs more upfront, but it unlocks Omise/2C2P/Stripe locally.

    • Then you can bill in baht, look legit, and deduct expenses for taxes.

✅ Short answer:
Yes, as a foreigner you can open PayPal personal with just a Thai bank account, but for subscription payments, every serious option (Omise, Stripe, 2C2P, PayPal Business) requires a Thai-registered company.
