BOI Application Support
The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) is a government agency that plays a vital role in promoting inward investment by offering a wide range of privileges to qualifying companies. BOI promotion enables foreign investors to legally conduct business in Thailand with greater flexibility, cost efficiency, and fewer restrictions compared to standard company structures.
At Fig Tree Consultancy, we provide end-to-end support for the BOI application process from evaluating eligibility to post-approval compliancensuring a smooth and successful experience for our clients.
Why Choose BOI Promotion?
BOI-promoted companies are eligible for significant incentives and privileges, including:
✅ Tax Incentives
- Corporate income tax (CIT) exemption for 3 to 8 years, depending on the project type
- 50% reduction in CIT for an additional 5 years (for certain projects)
- Exemption of import duties on machinery and raw materials used in production
- Double deductions for transportation, utilities, and infrastructure costs
✅ Non-Tax Incentives
- 100% foreign ownership even in industries restricted under Thailand Foreign Business Act
- Land ownership rights for business use (typically restricted to Thai nationals)
- Simplified work permits and visas for foreign skilled workers, executives, and experts
- Streamlined procedures and fast-track services from the BOI One Start One Stop Center (OSOS)
These incentives reduce startup and operating costs while giving foreign companies legal freedom to operate in high-value sectors.
