Moving office to Condominium

[sammykapcan]

I and my thai wife have had a small office approximately 45 sq meter in Regent House Building, Bangkok where I managed to run my small consulting office around 3 years. Last month, I decided to move the office in my own one bedroom condominium which i recently purchased (March 2017) for living but decided to convert a small office. My company DBD papers still shows the office address in Regent House. Regent Building Office offered me to keep the address (Virtual presence fee of 3000 THB P.M)  for receiving mails, attending phone calls and faxes as well as DBD updates as Revenue department will not register/change the new office address as my condo address due to it is located in residential area.  Is it a fact ? What should i do ? Is it acceptable by Revenue Department  or DBD office to have the Regent house building address in Bangkok as my virtual office on my DBD papers but work location is in my own condo in Asok area. 

 

Note: My office has one part time staff only who will be working on my condo. No guest or customers walk-in as I do the consulting work (Business Plans) for my clients who are located in Laos and Cambodia. I and my wife live most of the time in Singapore. Please put more light on this situation.

Many condos  will not allow  this at  all, id  probably say all for the peace of  other residents

As long as your Immigration entry permit extensions are based on marriage - such that you need no photos of you and  your company's Thai employees at work in the office  (which are required for a Class B extension), you may opeate as you are, with no problems.  

 

What you cannot do is deduct as a business expense any address-related expenses (rent, electricity telephone, ADSL, etc) at the condo address - in order for such expenses to be deductible, the location must be a registered business address of the company.
