Food Supplier License with SiamConsult:
Your Key to Success in Thailand

Entering the vibrant food market in Thailand offers incredible opportunities for both local entrepreneurs and international investors.

However, to operate legally and effectively, obtaining a Food Supplier License is a crucial step.

At SiamConsult, we understand that navigating the licensing process can be overwhelming, especially for foreigners unfamiliar with Thai regulations.

That's where we come in – offering you expert guidance to ensure a smooth, hassle-free journey to obtaining your Food Supplier License.

1. Understanding the Food Supplier License

If you’re looking to supply, distribute, or handle food products in Thailand, obtaining a Food Supplier License is essential. Whether you’re launching a new venture or expanding your current operations, there are different types of licenses to match your specific needs.

This includes:

  • Manufacturing License:
    Required for producing food products in Thailand. This license covers the entire process, from food processing to packaging and labeling, ensuring compliance with local safety and hygiene standards. The license must be renewed every 3 years.

  • Import License:
    Necessary for businesses aiming to import food products from overseas. It ensures that all imported goods meet Thai regulatory standards, covering transportation, storage, and distribution.

  • Distribution License:
     Suitable for businesses that sell and distribute food products within Thailand’s local market, maintaining high standards in food safety and quality.



The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Thailand oversees all food-related activities, including manufacturing and importing. SiamConsult can help you navigate the regulatory landscape to ensure your business complies with all applicable laws.

    Ranging from THB 10,000 to THB 50,000, depending on the type and scale of your business.
