Amity Business in Thailand

[VocalNeal]

We have been told that it is no longer possible to register or open an business under the US-Thailand Amity treaty is this a fact

[TonyClifton]

That would depend on who told you.

[VocalNeal]

Most enlightening.

I've also heard that it is no longer possible to register a new Treaty of Amity company. Existing Amity companies can be transferred.

And on the same day the government states it is looking at working more closely with America on economy and finance....hmmm

[VocalNeal]

So where would one go if looking to buy an existing Amity business?

[TonyClifton]

How interesting that all the sources so far, are unnamed.

[VocalNeal]

So you are saying it is still possible to do?

[TonyClifton]

I'm ready, without serious proof, to label this entire thread #FAKENEWS.

Between searching online and speaking with people, I've encountered conflicting, or at the very least, vague information about the Treaty. Some sources make no mention of any changes in the Treaty, with the implication that it is still possible to register a new business as a Treaty company. Other sources mention that the Treaty expired and was not renewed.

TonyClifton,  I never could read between the lines very well, so I'll ask why are you casting aspersions on this topic? Is this a sensitive issue? If you have some info, I'd be interested. Do you have any info on the current status of the Treaty? US Embassy, AmCham, export.gov, various forums, attorneys, etc. give different accounts of what is happening with this Treaty.
