FAQ

What is Thailand's BOI?

The Board of Investment — a government agency that approves investment projects and grants them tax and non-tax incentives.

The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) is the government agency responsible for attracting and facilitating foreign investment. It reviews applications from companies planning eligible manufacturing or services activities and, when a project is approved, grants a package of incentives.

BOI promotion matters for Indian investors because it can unlock 100% foreign ownership in activities that are otherwise restricted, along with tax holidays and easier visas for your team. Promotion is activity-specific: what qualifies depends on the category your project falls into under the current BOI policy framework.

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.
