BOI-related issues

BOI company address change process explained: how to relocate without affecting incentives?

for companies approved by Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI), changing the company address is not only a corporate registration matter, but also involves compliance management of project conditions and incentive eligibility. if not handled properly, it may affect the BOI privileges already granted

Which authorities must be notified for an address change

when a BOI company changes its address, information must be updated with multiple authorities to ensure consistency:
BOI (Board of Investment): update of project details
DBD (Department of Business Development): change of registered company address
Revenue Department: update of tax registration address
other relevant authorities (depending on the case): such as factory licenses, social security system, etc.

the key objective of this step is to ensure that company information remains consistent and traceable across all systems

Change within the same area vs cross-regional relocation

depending on the scope of the address change, compliance requirements may vary significantly:

① change within the original project area or scope
submit a project information update to BOI
generally has minimal impact on existing incentives

② relocation across regions or to a new location
prior approval from BOI for a “project amendment” is required
BOI will assess:
whether the new location still meets the promoted zone criteria
whether the change affects existing incentives

such changes are considered material and relocation must not proceed without prior approval

Standard procedure (recommended sequence)

companies may proceed with the following steps:

step 1: submit a project amendment application to BOI, provide details of the new address and relevant supporting documents, and await approval
step 2: update the company’s registered address with the DBD to complete the corporate registration update
step 3: update tax registration information, including the business address and invoicing details in the tax system
step 4: update other relevant systems (if applicable), including social security, factory licenses, and industry-specific permits

Summary:
for BOI-promoted companies, an address change is not merely an administrative update, but also relates to project compliance and the continuity of incentives. especially in cases of cross-regional relocation, BOI approval must be obtained prior to proceeding with subsequent changes to ensure that existing benefits are not affected

建议

TMA recommendation:
for BOI companies planning an address change, it is advisable to conduct overall planning and compliance assessment in advance:
confirm whether the new location meets BOI project conditions
properly arrange the sequence of changes, prioritizing BOI approval
ensure that information updates across all authorities are completed consistently
prepare complete and consistent supporting documents (such as lease agreements, maps, etc.)
for companies involving factories or regulated industries, assess additional licensing requirements in advance
with proper compliance procedures in place, companies can complete the relocation without affecting BOI incentives and support continued business development
