Outsourcing Business - Does It Come Under The Protected List Of Businesses?

[nemo38]

Hi,

My planned business is essentially in outsourcing. Income will come from outside Thailand. I'll probably remit enough to the Thai company to make the business profitable (which is a condition of wp renewal). I can fulfil requirements for minimum number of workers, a real place of business, etc.

I don't want to have a Thai partner.

The Board of Investment site mentions a number of protected sectors such as housing. On the face of it my business doesn't fall into a protected sector. But the list does include services which are not explicitly approved.

Can anyone tell me whether this sort of activity will or will not be a protected business? Is there a list of business types which are not protected?

N.B: I have mentioned in another thread an idea of opening the Thai company through investment from a US company to claim the benefits of the US Amity treaty.
