How can I register a company name in Thailand?

To register a company name in Thailand, it is first necessary to reserve the company name with the Department of Business Development (DBD). It is required that the name of the proposed company must always end with the word "limited". The name reservation application can be made online through the DBD website, and typically the name reservation process takes one to three working days. Company names are subject to DBD guidelines, and once the company name is approved, it must be used in the incorporation documents needed for company registration.
