Legal Business Procedures in Thailand

The Land of smiles is slowly emerging as one of the premier business hubs in Asia. More and more business executives are investing in shares and bonds here, and they are even going so far as to establish their own company in the country. If you are planning on doing the same thing, keep in mind that there are certain legal requirements that you need to follow. You will need this in order for your corporation to be duly recognised by the government. Of course, you will also need legal guidance so that your establishment abides to the law. As such, here are some of the services you will need:

Immigration

If you are a foreign investor, you will need to secure the necessary travel papers, such as passport and visa, in order to gain entry into the country. This also applies to employees outside of the country. Work visas tend to expire so you will need the help of lawyers to renew these documents.

Labour

Aside from the visa, you will also need the necessary permits in order to legally work in Thailand. The processing of social security fund registration is also included.

Arbitration

In case of company disputes, one way of settling these would be to seek help from credible arbiters, who will help oversee mediation and litigation. These individuals will also help you present the proper defence and offence in court cases.

Intellectual Property

There are assets which do not have physical form, such as logo and brand name. This also goes for materials, which have been created by your company. To protect yourself from other people falsely claiming the title of your creations, you need to have them protected through copyright and patent.

Aside from the legal aspect, you will also need to inspect possible areas wherein you can base your operations. Should you decide to hold your business in Phuket, you can temporarily conduct business at Sweet Dreams Guest House.
