From August 1, 2026, new rules require additional documents — including a sworn investment statement and 3-month bank statements from Thai partners and the entity — when registering a company/partnership where a foreigner holds less than 50% but has signatory authority (or is a partner/director). Existing applications already filed are unaffected. All expats setting up or amending a Thai business with foreign participation must prepare these documents.
Thailand's anti-nominee campaign has escalated, with over 14,800 tax probes, 17,556 land investigations, and thousands of police cases. Foreigners using nominee arrangements for property or business face heightened scrutiny and legal risk.
