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.
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.

| Topic | Starting information | Review question |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Components, finished goods and process | Category and steps required in Thailand |
| Factory | Site, layout and machinery | Separate factory and environmental permits |
| Inputs | Machinery and raw-material import plan | Duty incentives and reporting systems |
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.
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.
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.
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 can affect additional incentives, and industrial estates run their own permitting. Compare utilities, zoning and land restrictions before committing.
Plan positions that require foreign experts with justification. Expert privileges and work permits must match actual roles and qualifications.
General preparation guidance. Check current announcements and project facts before filing; eligibility and approval are not assured.
