Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bangkok office provide services in Chinese?
Yes. The Bangkok office works in Chinese, Thai and English. Taiwanese and Chinese-speaking clients are served in Chinese throughout; formal documents and Thai court procedures are handled by Thai lawyers, with explanations provided in Chinese.
Which lawyers are qualified in Thailand?
Sopon Sirimongkolrat, Ekkapong Yamkran and Chanicha Polpuech are Thai-qualified lawyers and Thai notarial attorneys; Tirakan Lin (Ing) is qualified in both Taiwan and Thailand. Thai legal opinions, court representation and government filings are handled by Thai-qualified lawyers.
Can you handle BOI, FBL, labour and litigation matters?
Yes. The Bangkok office covers foreign investment and BOI promotion, Foreign Business Licence applications, corporate and commercial matters, labour and work permits, real estate and land, and litigation and arbitration before Thai forums.
How can clients in Taiwan contact the Bangkok office?
Write in Chinese or English to info@louisapt.co.th, call +66 2-275-2235, or arrange an introduction through our Taipei office (+886 2-2395-5598), so that the Taiwan and Thailand teams engage together.
How do the Taiwanese and Thai lawyers divide the work?
Thai law matters are handled by Thai-qualified lawyers; Taiwanese parent-company law, tax and cross-border investment structuring are handled by the group’s Taiwan lawyers. Both teams work on the same matter, so clients do not need to instruct two separate firms.
What should a foreign investor do first when setting up in Thailand?
Confirm the investment structure. A Thai limited company, a BOI-promoted company, a branch and a representative office each carry different foreign-ownership ceilings, tax treatment and permitted activities. The wrong structure constrains land acquisition, work permits and tax later, so the structure and BOI eligibility should be assessed before capital is committed.
