Thailand Brings Its Deportation Law to Life: New Regulation Effective 28 August 2026
On 27 August 2026, the Royal Gazette published the Office of the Prime Minister Regulation on Deportation B.E. 2569 (ระเบียบสำนักนายกรัฐมนตรี ว่าด้วยการเนรเทศ พ.ศ. 2569), issued under Section 11(8) of the State Administration of the Kingdom Act B.E. 2534 with Cabinet approval. The Regulation took effect the day after publication.
What the 25 August Cabinet Means for Business in Thailand
At its meeting on 25 August B.E. 2569 (2026), the Cabinet took a number of decisions of consequence to commercial enterprises operating in Thailand. None has yet entered into force. This alert sets out the substance of each measure and its present legal status, the distinction between a resolution of the Cabinet and an enforceable instrument being material to any assessment of timing.
What the 18 August Cabinet Means for Foreign Investors, Employers, and Cross-Border Businesses in Thailand
Nothing decided this week is yet in force, but two threads are worth acting on early: a step toward letting the Permanent Court of Arbitration hold proceedings in Thailand, which speaks to where you seat disputes, and a package of four labour measures that would pull seafarers and home-based workers into social protection and set new penalties for employers.
Thailand's IP Development Plan 2026–2027: The Distance Between Intention and Instrument
Thailand–United States Intellectual Property Work Plan approved by the Cabinet in May 2025, and a national Intellectual Property Development Plan for 2026–2027 approved by the National Intellectual Property Policy Committee in August of that year, with the Ministry of Commerce reporting progress to the Cabinet this February.
Thailand's Digital Compliance Trail: How TDAC, TM.30 and 90-Day Reporting Now Connect
For many years, a foreign employee's compliance records in Thailand existed in three separate places. The arrival card was held at the port of entry. The TM.30 notification of residence, where filed, was held at the local immigration office. The 90-day report was held elsewhere again. The three records were rarely compared, and an omission in one seldom affected the others.
New Bank Statement Requirements From 1 August 2026
The Department of Business Development (DBD) has issued Order of the Central Partnership and Company Registrar No. 2/2569, effective 1 August 2026, imposing additional documentary requirements on company and partnership registrations involving foreign participation. The Order targets the arrangement Thai law has prohibited for decades but which enforcement long tolerated: Thai nationals holding shares as nominees so that a business under foreign control appears Thai-majority.
What the 11 August Cabinet Means for Foreign Investors, In-House Counsel, and Financial-Services Firms in Thailand
The Thai Cabinet met on Tuesday 11 August B.E. 2569 (2026), chaired by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. One decision asks you to act this quarter: a government push on multi-factor authentication that now reaches the private sector. The rest are directions and drafts to track, not obligations that bite today, and the most consequential of them, a roadmap to reform 26 Thai laws including the Foreign Business Act, will play out over years.
BOI Promotion for Software and Platform Businesses in Thailand
Thailand's Board of Investment (BOI) offers technology businesses its most valuable package: 100% foreign ownership, corporate income tax exemption of up to eight years, and streamlined visas and work permits for founders and specialists. Since the BOI restructured its digital category under Announcement No. Sor. 2/2567 (2024), however, approval turns on a substance test that many applicants discover too late. Eligibility is not written into the application; it is built into the business.
What the 5 August Cabinet Means for Data-Centre Investors, Companies, and Cross-Border Employers in Thailand
Three of the Thai Cabinet's decisions on 5 August 2026 matter for business. The government approved a draft regulation to create a dedicated data-centre policy body, approved a revised but still-unsigned framework for hiring Myanmar workers, and moved a cluster of corporate, transport, and water measures affecting registration costs, the provincial rail pipeline, and Eastern Economic Corridor water supply.
Clinic Advertising in Thailand: Approval Comes First
For clinic operators, wellness investors and the doctors whose names appear in the ads: the rules tightened again in July 2026, and enforcement is measured in thousands of posts.
