Hi

What is the process for a Thai national to start their own business as a sole trader?

Regards

It would depend on what type of business activity the Thai national wished to register as a sole proprietorship. Some would not require registration, however most would. You can check with the District Office to confirm if the business must be registered or not. For example, if the Thai were going to operate a restaurant they would need to register the sole proprietorship (formally known as a Trade Certificate) at the District Office (Amphur), indicating the restaurant's name. The owner would also need to apply for licenses for food, alcohol and tobacco sales.
