Many activities in Thailand cannot legally operate on a company registration alone — they need a separate licence from the relevant authority, on top of the company itself. Working out which licence applies, what the issuing agency actually requires, and how renewals work is often the hardest part, since requirements vary widely by industry and by province.
We start by finding out exactly which licence (or licences) your business needs, then prepare the application, deal directly with the issuing agencies on your behalf, and track renewal dates so a licence never lapses quietly while you’re focused on running the business. We work across a wide range of industries, from food and hospitality to tourism, construction, wellness and education.
Each licence has its own issuing authority, its own documentation requirements and its own renewal cycle. Rather than treating licensing as one generic process, we map the specific requirements to your business before anything is filed.
How it works
- We assess your activity. Tell us what your business does and where — we identify which licences apply and which authority issues each one.
- We prepare the application. We put together the required documentation and file it with the correct agency.
- We liaise with the authorities. We handle follow-up, site inspections where required, and any queries from the issuing office.
- We track renewals. Once issued, we keep the renewal cycle on file and let you know ahead of time when action is needed.
What we license
- Food & hospitality — restaurant licences, alcohol and tobacco sales permits, hotel and guesthouse licences
- Tourism — TAT licences for tour operators and tourism-related businesses

Good to know
If your business doesn’t fit neatly into one of the categories above, ask us — the list covers the licences we see most often, not the full range of what’s possible, and we’re happy to look into activities outside it.
Buying an existing business brings its own licensing questions: some licences transfer with the company, others must be re-issued in the new owner’s name. We review what you’re acquiring and tell you clearly which is which before you commit.
Contact us with a description of your business and we’ll confirm which licences apply and what the process looks like before you pay for anything. If you’re also setting up ongoing bookkeeping and tax filing, our accounting services are designed to run alongside your licensing.
