A real team on the ground in Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Koh Samui, with trusted legal associates for company registration and compliance.

Organised, predictable, no surprises

Why setup goes wrong

Getting the structure wrong is expensive to fix later.

Company registration, visas and work permits all depend on each other, and the order matters. Do it piecemeal and you can end up with a structure that blocks your own work permit or your bank account.

  • Foreign ownership rules and company structure are easy to get wrong from the outside.

  • Your visa, your work permit and your company all have to line up, in sequence.

  • A corporate bank account and ongoing compliance trip up plenty of new businesses.

The Thai Kru way

One team to get the whole setup right.

We coordinate your company registration with trusted legal associates, then sequence your business visa and work permit so each one clears the way for the next. We open your corporate and personal banking and get your address and admin in place.

You deal with one organised team and a clear timeline, instead of stitching together a lawyer, a visa agent and a bank on your own across a language barrier.

Before you ask

It depends on the structure and approvals involved. We give you a realistic timeline up front and keep to it.
