Company Registration in Thailand: The "3-Month Rule" for 2026

Spectrum Legal Solutions·March 5, 2026·3 min read

Registration Has Changed in 2026

Registration has become significantly more difficult as of January 1, 2026, due to DBD Order No. 2/2568.

The "New Rule": 3 Months of Bank Statements

Every Thai shareholder in a company with foreign directors or shareholders must now provide 3 months of bank statements. These statements must prove they have the actual funds to buy their shares.

The "5-Company" Address Rule

If you register a company at an address that already hosts 5 or more businesses (common in virtual offices), you must now provide a signed Letter of Consent from the actual property owner and proof of their ownership (Chanote).
