Web Design and App Development Registration in Thailand

Web Design & App Development Business with SiamConsult

Want to offer digital services like web design & app development or UI/UX consulting in Thailand?

There’s no special license required, but your company must still be registered correctly in Thai law, especially if foreign-owned.

These activities are generally open to foreign investment, provided your company is structured correctly. If foreign shareholding exceeds 49%, you may need a Foreign Business License (FBL) unless you qualify for BOI Promotion in software or IT categories. Discover more about the regulations governing foreign companies in our comprehensive guide to establishing a foreign company in Thailand.

BOI application support for software, IT services, or SaaS businesses
Work permits and visa assistance for expat founders or developers
