Alcohol Manufacturing License with SiamConsult

Looking to produce alcohol in Thailand?
Whether you’re launching a craft brewery, distilling spirits, or making herbal liquors, you’ll need a dedicated Liquor Manufacturing License—separate from a standard alcohol retail permit.

This license is tightly regulated and requires detailed plans, equipment specifications, and strict compliance with production, packaging, and excise tax laws.

Cannabis License with SiamConsult

Interested in growing, selling, or operating a business with cannabis or hemp in Thailand?

You’ll need to comply with strict licensing requirements set by the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Ministry of Public Health.

Different activities, such as cultivation, extraction, import/export, retail, and product manufacturing, require separate licenses and approvals. All businesses must follow rules on safety, labeling, packaging, and sales, with special restrictions for medical or edible cannabis products.

Important Law Change:

In 2025, Thailand revised its cannabis regulations, reclassifying cannabis flowers and most cannabis-derived products as controlled narcotics. Recreational use, unlicensed sales, and public consumption are now strictly prohibited. Only registered medical, research, or industrial activities are allowed.

Businesses must hold the appropriate licenses for cultivation, processing, or sale, and all products must meet new, stricter safety and packaging standards. Violations can result in severe penalties, including criminal prosecution and business closure. Since cannabis was partially decriminalized in Thailand, both commercial and personal use have been tightly regulated under evolving laws.

SiamConsult: Expert Support for Cannabis Licensing

SiamConsult guides you through every step, from business setup and documentation to FDA submissions and compliance audits. We help ensure you meet all regulatory requirements and stay ahead of changing legal standards.

Our Cannabis Licensing Services Include

Consulting Company Registration with SiamConsult

Thinking of starting a business consulting, strategy, or management advisory service in Thailand?
Start with our step-by-step business consulting company registration guide—the easiest way to learn how to set up legally and successfully.

There’s no special consulting license, but you still need to register your business the right way, especially if your company is majority foreign‑owned or operates in restricted industries. This can be complex, but don’t worry – we can help you fix it.

Thailand’s Foreign Business Act regulates consulting services. If foreigners own more than 49% of the company, you may need a Foreign Business License (FBL) unless your business is promoted by the Board of Investment (BOI).

For authoritative reference, you can review the full English text of the Foreign Business Act via UNCTAD’s Investment Laws Navigator: Foreign Business Act (1999). For official BOI details, see the Thailand Board of Investment.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) with SiamConsult

Planning a large-scale construction or development project in Thailand?

The EIA is not a business license, but it is a mandatory process under Thai law for many high-impact developments: resorts, industrial facilities, real estate complexes, marinas, and major infrastructure projects.

You’ll need an Event or Concert License to operate legally in Thailand, especially if your event features amplified sound, ticket sales, use of public spaces, or attracts large crowds.

Permitting and requirements may vary depending on the location and size of your event. Early application is recommended, as authorities often require several weeks for approval, especially for larger productions.

This license is usually managed at the provincial or district level and often requires additional approvals, such as noise permits, public safety plans, event insurance, and police coordination. Whether you’re organizing a beachfront party, a charity concert, or a commercial festival, obtaining the proper license is crucial to avoid shutdowns or fines.

Food Shop License – Restaurant License with SiamConsult

Ready to open a café, restaurant, street food stall, bakery, or takeaway in Thailand?
Before you can legally serve your first meal, you’ll need to obtain an official Food Shop License. This license—sometimes called a Food Storage License—applies to any business that prepares, cooks, or sells food and beverages directly to the public, whether you’re operating a cozy café, a bustling market stall, or a fine-dining restaurant.

What is a Food Shop License?
A Food Shop License is a permit required by Thai law for any retail food business serving customers on-site or for takeaway. It covers everything from small noodle stands to large hotel restaurants, ensuring compliance with national and local standards for hygiene, kitchen safety, waste management, fire protection, and food handling. Before opening, you must pass site inspections and maintain strict cleanliness standards at all times.

How is this different from a Food Supplier License?
It’s important to distinguish between a Food Shop License and a Food Supplier License:

  • Food Shop License: For businesses that prepare and serve food directly to customers, such as restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and food stalls. This is a retail license, focused on kitchens, dining spaces, and food hygiene for end-consumers.
  • Food Supplier License: For companies involved in large-scale production, packaging, or distribution of food and beverages to other businesses (hotels, supermarkets, wholesalers, etc.). The Thai FDA regulates this license, which applies to food factories, importers, exporters, and bulk distributors, but not to typical restaurants or small food shops.

Why choose SiamConsult for your Food Shop License? Securing your Food Shop License can feel daunting. Every municipality has unique rules and documentation requirements, inspections are strict, and language barriers can slow things down. With SiamConsult as your partner, you gain:

  • Step-by-step guidance in English and Thai, from planning to inspection
  • Preparation and review of all application forms and supporting documents
  • Direct communication with district and municipal officials
  • Support for related licenses: alcohol permits, signage, and POS systems
  • Practical advice to avoid delays and penalties—so you can open on time

What happens if you skip the Food Shop License? Operating without a valid Food Shop License exposes your business to significant risks, including forced closure, substantial fines, removal from food delivery apps, and even potential criminal charges. Compliance is not just about legal protection—it’s about public trust and long-term business success.

Ready to get started? See our full Food Shop License Guide here for a detailed, step-by-step process. Alternatively, contact SiamConsult for a free consultation and let’s get your business licensed, legal, and ready to serve!

Homestay Registration with SiamConsult

Planning to run a homestay, guesthouse, or rent out your villa in Thailand?
You must complete official homestay registration to operate legally and be eligible for listing on major platforms, such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Agoda. Without proper registration, you risk fines, forced closure, or removal from leading accommodation sites.

Homestay registration is generally faster and less demanding than a full hotel license, but you still need to prove safety, hygiene, and community approval. Only registered properties can legally advertise and host guests online. Villas or houses rented out without official registration are considered illegal accommodations and are subject to heavy penalties and immediate de-listing from booking platforms.

How SiamConsult Streamlines Your Homestay Registration

SiamConsult makes it simple.
We support you every step of the way—gathering documents, securing local approval, and working directly with district officials and the village committee. Our team manages all communications with Thai authorities to ensure a smooth and stress-free process.

Land Ownership & Lease Registration for Foreign-Controlled Companies with SiamConsult

Can a foreign business own land in Thailand?
Not directly, but if your company is promoted by the Board of Investment (BOI), registered as a foundation, or qualifies for special exemptions, you may be eligible to own or lease land for business use legally.

This is not a “license” but a legally recognized right of registration that must be secured through strict legal processes. Land ownership or long-term leasing by foreign-controlled companies requires close coordination with the Land Department, BOI, and sometimes the Ministry of Interior, depending on your business structure, location, and project. Every step must be handled with precision to protect your rights and avoid costly setbacks.

Restaurant License with SiamConsult

Opening a restaurant in Thailand? You’ll need more than just a basic restaurant license.
Thai law requires restaurant owners to comply with multiple regulations, often including a Food Shop/Storage License (for all kitchens), a Health & Safety Permit, an Alcohol License (if serving drinks), and potentially additional permits for entertainment, live music, or signage.

Each license is overseen by a different authority. The process involves inspections for food hygiene, fire safety, building standards, alcohol sales, and even permissions for music or entertainment. It’s easy to miss details, so expert guidance can save you time, money, and unnecessary headaches.

Licensing is crucial not only for legal protection but also to inspire customer confidence and avoid costly shutdowns. Ready to open your restaurant? See our full Restaurant License Guide here.

Signage Permit with SiamConsult

Planning to hang a business sign outside your shop, restaurant, hotel, or office?

Getting your signage approved is a crucial part of establishing your brand presence effectively.
