While operating a BOI company has many advantages, there are some disadvantages, as well. For many investors, these disadvantages are not a big enough hurdle to prevent them from starting a BOI company.<\/p>

First and foremost, it is difficult to start a BOI company. The BOI has strict guidelines in place, and the application process is lengthy.

Plizz\u2019s lawyers can even walk you through the interview process, so you will be prepared.<\/p>

The minimum capital investment can also be a drawback for some investors. While the capital attached is too much for some, those who want to put lots of money into Thai investments don\u2019t see this as a problem. They are happy to put the money in due to the excellent return on investment many BOI companies enjoy.<\/p>

Finally, BOI companies are limited in what they can invest in. While they have many investment opportunities, this is bothersome for some business owners that want to expand their reach even further. However, most are happy to operate within the limits set forth by the BOI.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The process begins by preparing the application. The application is approximately eight pages in length and requires financial projections, the estimated number of employees, basic information, and more. It must include a business plan and a project plan, so investors are encouraged to conduct a feasibility study beforehand. The application process generally takes two to four weeks to complete.<\/p>

    One to two weeks after applying, the Thailand government should schedule a BOI presentation. This is normally scheduled one to two weeks in advance. The company founders must travel to Bangkok for an interview at the BOI headquarters. Plizz\u2019s lawyers can help you prepare for the interview, so you will be ready. Interviews include many of the same questions, so you will be fully prepped by the time you land in Bangkok. The presentation takes one day.<\/p>

    The BOI generally takes approximately 40 days to make a decision. If the company receives a positive resolution, it has approximately six months to register with the Department of Business Development. The registration process can take one to two weeks.<\/p>

    Then the Board of Investment issues the BOI certificate. This is normally done within two weeks of registering with the Department of Business Development.<\/p>

    Founders must then secure visas and work permits. This can be done in as little as a day with the help of Plizz.<\/p>

    Once the BOI company is set up, it must maintain proper reporting and compliance. This can be cumbersome. There are specific reporting and compliance schedules. If the company fails to meet the guidelines, it will receive a warning note from the BOI. The company has the chance to respond to the letter with an explanation. If the response is not accepted, the license can be revoked.<\/p>

    Companies also must follow strict accounting procedures. The accounting practices are monitored, and failing to meet them could cause the license to be revoked. Fortunately, Plizz can help with this, as well.<\/p>
