How much registered capital should a Thai company have?
Short answer
There is no general statutory minimum for an ordinary Thai private limited company beyond the Civil and Commercial Code rules on share par value. The figure is driven instead by what the company needs to do: employing foreign staff and operating under the Foreign Business Act both carry their own capital expectations, and those, not the incorporation form, set the realistic floor.
Set the number against the plan rather than the registry. Work permit practice looks at paid-up capital per foreign employee; a business that a foreign-majority company may only carry on under a Foreign Business Licence carries a separate minimum capital requirement under the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 (1999). Registering a nominal capital and increasing it later is possible, but an increase needs a special resolution and a filing, and it delays whatever was waiting on it.
Registered capital is also a signal to counterparties, banks and landlords, who read it off the DBD record. Over-stating it has a cost too: the capital is a commitment to the company, and capital reduction is a slower, creditor-protected process.
