BOI for Electronics & EV Manufacturing

BOI for electronics and EV manufacturing: confirm the Thai production steps meet category conditions, and separate machinery and raw-material duty incentives from factory and environmental permits.

Manufacturing projects often carry conditions on minimum process steps, technology and environment, and EV and component measures change by announcement. This page organises product and factory information before discussion and does not assure approval or incentive levels.

Describe the process performed in Thailand

Manufacturing categories often require key steps to occur domestically, such as assembly, testing or production of core parts. State clearly which steps you perform, subcontract or import.

EV and component measures follow announcements

Measures for electric vehicles, batteries and key parts have conditions and filing windows set by the announcement in force. Check the current one before investment planning; do not rely on old measures.

Machinery and raw-material duty incentives

Import duty relief for machinery, or raw materials for export, is used through BOI master-list approval and stock reconciliation. Set up auditable inventory and import records.

Factory and environmental permits are separate

Qualifying factories need permission under factory law from the Department of Industrial Works, or IEAT inside an estate. Some projects require environmental reports. Check early because this affects start-up dates.

Location and zones

Location can affect additional incentives, and industrial estates run their own permitting. Compare utilities, zoning and land restrictions before committing.

Staff and foreign experts

Plan positions that require foreign experts with justification. Expert privileges and work permits must match actual roles and qualifications.

Questions before preparing an application

Can import-and-assemble projects be promoted?
It depends on the category's process conditions; some require minimum steps in Thailand.
Are EV measures still open?
Check the current BOI announcement, as conditions and filing windows change periodically.
With BOI, do I still need a factory licence?
Yes, if the factory falls under factory law, permission from DIW or IEAT is separate.
How does duty-free machinery import work?
Through approval of a machinery master list in the BOI system under your certificate conditions.
What should I prepare first?
Product list, process flow, machinery, site, staffing plan and shareholding chart.
How can I obtain the service charges?
Send the project details for scope review and request a written quotation. Any official charges are shown separately as published by the agency.
