Alcohol Manufacturing Licensing: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Initial Consultation & Legal Entity Setup

SiamConsult begins by reviewing your business plan—whether you plan to brew craft beer, distill vodka, whiskey, or rum, or create liqueurs and herbal infusions. We clarify the Excise Department’s licensing requirements for your specific alcohol type and advise on setting up a Thai limited company, which is typically required as the license holder. Our team guides you through company formation, shareholding, board structure, and tax registration to ensure full legal compliance from day one.

2. Facility Design & Technical Documentation

Our specialists help you prepare facility layouts, equipment lists, and detailed flowcharts of your production process, customized for each alcohol type:

  • Beer/Craft Breweries: Detailed brewhouse and fermentation tank layouts, water treatment, sanitation, bottling/kegging lines, and waste management plans.
  • Spirits/Distilleries: Still design and capacity, raw material storage, blending/proofing rooms, barrel or bottle aging, and fire safety protocols.
  • Liqueurs & Herbal Alcohol: Infusion/maceration methods, quality control steps, filtration, and packaging documentation.

All documentation includes production capacity, raw material sourcing, and quality control, tailored to your operation size (craft, small batch, or industrial).

3. Regulatory Pre-Checks, Health & Safety Compliance

We coordinate with local fire safety, environmental, and health authorities to confirm your site meets all zoning, safety, and hygiene regulations before submitting your license application.

4. Application Preparation & Excise Department Submission

SiamConsult prepares and translates all documents—technical drawings, process descriptions, equipment specs, and compliance evidence—and submits your application package to the Excise Department. We address any requests or clarifications from authorities directly, keeping your application on track.

5. Site Inspection & Authority Review

Excise officials and health inspectors visit your facility to review hygiene, safety, storage, labeling, and environmental standards specific to your alcohol product. SiamConsult is present to assist and help resolve any findings immediately.

6. Approval & License Issuance

Once your site passes inspection and your company documents are verified, the Excise Department issues your Liquor Manufacturing License. SiamConsult collects your certificate, delivers certified copies, and briefs you on excise tax, reporting, and operational compliance.

7. Ongoing Compliance, Product Launch & Growth

We support you with annual license renewals, excise tax filings, health and safety audits, and the addition of new products or an increase in production. For food and beverage compliance, we assist you in registering with the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and help you expand into new markets or product lines.
