Alien Business Permit A representative office must obtain an Alien Business Permit under Annex C, Chapter 3(1) of NEC Announcement No. 281 (the Alien Business Law) to start its activities. This Permit, valid for five years, serves as the permission/license to establish a representative office . An application for a permit to establish a representative office together with supporting documents, as well as applications for work permits and visas, must be filed with the Commercial Registration Department of the Ministry of Commerce.
Documentation In order to be registered as a representative office, the foreign company must lodge with the Ministry of Commerce copies of its certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association (or other similar documents) and a power of attorney in favour of the branch manager. The power of attorney must be broad enough in the opinion of the Ministry of Commerce so as to give the manager adequate authority to manage the rep office. The Ministry may request other documentation.
Copies of all documents must be certified to be true copies by a notary public or other official. Signatures on original documents such as the power of attorney should be certified to be true signatures and the authority of the person should also be certified by a notary public.

Work permits . U p to two foreigners who advise or disseminate information about their company's products or provide reports about the Thai market to their home offices can qualify for a work permit. However up to five foreigners may qualify for a work permit who source goods and services in Thailand for the foreign company or who are responsible for quality control for such goods and services unless the representative office sources at least 100 million Baht in goods and services from Thailand during the preceding year (in which case this limit of work permits may be exceeded ).
Taxation Representative Offices are normally exempt from income tax, since they do not generate income. However, they are liable to register for tax, since they must pay e.g. withholding income tax on wages paid to employees.
Capital requirements A representative office is required to remit into Thailand for its operating expenditure, a total of Baht 5 million over a period of five years, with Baht 2 million being remitted within the first year. These funds may not later be remitted out. The capital may be used for normal working capital requirements, e.g. to pay operating expenditure such as salaries and rent.
Single Legal Entity The foreign company and the Representative office are considered to be the same single legal entity, with the result that the foreign company is bound to third parties by the acts which its Representative office has conducted within the scope of authority granted to it. If the Representative office commits an act without authority or acts beyond the scope of its authority, that act would not bind the company as a matter of Thai law unless the company has ratified the act.
