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

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.
