Thailand's crackdown on foreigners clashes with OECD bid

Thailand's government is intensifying enforcement of foreign ownership laws, targeting landholdings, small businesses, and restricted occupations, while simultaneously pursuing OECD membership by 2028. The OECD has warned that Thailand's restrictive and fragmented investment rules are tougher than those of any current member, creating uncertainty for investors. Expats should expect tighter scrutiny of nominee structures, work permits, and business classifications.
