Ease of Doing Business – Company Incorporation and Social Security Registration Processes Combined

With the aim of increasing the ease of doing business in Thailand, the Ministry of Commerce (the "MOC") and the Social Security Office (the "SSO") have together launched a single-service platform by combining the processes of company incorporation with the social security registration.

As a result, a limited company that registers its incorporation with the MOC from 16 October 2019 onwards, will be automatically registered as an employer with the SSO without having to submit a separate application. Note that other requirements under labour law still apply.
