FAQ

How long does BOI approval take?

Straightforward projects can be approved in a few weeks; complex or large projects take longer.

The process has four broad stages: submitting the application, project evaluation, an interview or project presentation, and the approval decision. Simple, well-documented projects in a clear category can move through in a few weeks. Larger or more complex projects — those requesting special incentives, involving sensitive activities, or needing additional clarifications — naturally take longer, sometimes a few months.

Quality of the application matters more than speed of filing: a clear business plan, realistic financials and a well-defined activity category are what shorten reviews. We help you prepare and present the project, and coordinate with BOI officers where needed.

Information on investment, BOI, taxation, immigration, company structures and regulations is provided for general information only and should be independently verified with qualified Thai professionals and the relevant government authorities.
