⚠️ CRITICAL COMPLIANCE ISSUE

Anti-Nominee Compliance

Many foreign investors unknowingly use illegal nominee structures. This is one of the most dangerous mistakes you can make in Thailand.

What is a Nominee Structure?

A nominee structure occurs when Thai shareholders hold shares on behalf of foreign investors without genuine economic interest or control. This violates the Foreign Business Act and can result in:

  • Business seizure by Thai authorities
  • Criminal penalties including imprisonment
  • Fines up to 1 million baht per violation
  • Loss of all investment and assets

Our Approach: 100% Legal Structures

We never use nominee arrangements. Instead, we create legitimate structures through:

BOI promotion (100% foreign ownership)
Treaty of Amity (for US investors)
Foreign Business License (FBL)
Genuine Thai partnerships with proper documentation
