To Trust
Planning to open a school, language center, or educational institution in Thailand?
You’ll need an official Educational License to ensure your facility meets national standards for curriculum, staffing, safety, and administration — all under the oversight of the Thai Ministry of Education.
*The licensing process involves several stages: site inspections, curriculum approval, staff qualification documentation, and full compliance with facility and zoning regulations. It’s vital to have every detail prepared correctly from the start to avoid delays.
SiamConsult is here to guide you every step of the way. We prepare and manage all necessary paperwork, handle Ministry correspondence, and coordinate the entire licensing process — saving you time, stress, and costly delays.

Planning to open a school, language center, or educational institution in Thailand?
You’ll need an official Educational License to ensure your facility meets all Ministry of Education standards for curriculum, staffing, safety, and legal compliance. SiamConsult provides step-by-step support at every stage, allowing you to focus on delivering high-quality education.
To begin, your school must be set up as a Thai Limited Company. This business structure is required for foreign-owned education providers in Thailand, and getting it right ensures you meet all local ownership and management rules. For a full breakdown of what’s involved—including shareholding, board structure, and registration steps—see our Thailand Limited Company Setup Guide.
After registration, you’ll need a detailed, Ministry-ready application file. SiamConsult ensures you have the correct forms, company documents, curriculum description, and proof of facilities. If you need a refresher on company paperwork or supporting documents, the Department of Business Development (DBD) provides official requirements for business registration.
Whether you are starting a private school, an international school, a language institute, or a vocational center, SiamConsult will guide you in selecting the correct license.
Each option has unique requirements, especially around curricula, accreditation, and teaching staff. To understand what sets international and bilingual schools apart, you may wish to review the Ministry of Education (MOE) portal for up-to-date licensing categories and standards.
SiamConsult manages every detail, from organizing documents to liaising with authorities. We submit your application, follow up with the Ministry, and keep you informed at each step.
For schools planning to provide on-site meals, ensure compliance with Thailand’s food regulations. Our Food Supplier License Guide outlines the requirements for providing safe and legal food service within educational facilities.
For operators adding dormitories, guest accommodation, or campus hotels, explore our Hotel License Thailand guide—essential for legally accommodating students or staff on your premises.

If you need the official requirements for curriculum, teacher qualifications, or school standards, you can find them on the Ministry of Education (MOE) website. For business entity registration or legal documents, the Department of Business Development is your official resource.
