Hi all,

Do you know if a farang can be co-named with a Thai on a commercial building rental contract without working in it and without work permit of course?

Thank you.

Yes.

The following is general information and advice about setting up a company in Thailand and doing business here, and the working environment in Thailand.

Generally, if you have real intentions of doing business in Thailand, then setting up a company and doing legitimate business in Thailand is fairly straightforward and not difficult, especially compared to many other countries.

Thailand is a good place to do business, not a bad place. It is a fairly free-wheeling market economy, and reasonably flexible.

The Thai legal system as regards company and tax matters is largely patterned after the USA and European countries such as Switzerland and France. Most foreigners find it quite reasonable and easy to work within.

Many people have visited Thailand Guru's office feeling daunted by the requirements and process, and most have left thinking it's not quite so overwhelming after all. While it depends on what you need and want to accomplish (and of course this website doesn't attempt to cover all fields and technical matters, just links to them), it also depends on good guidance and expert support.
