Short answer

Opening a resort or rental villa on Koh Samui — what is needed?

Incorporate a limited company, set the shareholding correctly where foreign partners are involved, obtain the lodging licence when required, register for VAT, and keep books that capture foreign payments completely. We sequence it all, coordinating legal specialists where needed.

The lodging licence depends on size and rental model
Foreign shareholding must be right from day one
Books must capture foreign payments completely

How a company gets registered from Surat Thani (Koh Samui)

01
First call and readiness check
We ask what your Surat Thani (Koh Samui) business does, who it sells to, whether clients need tax invoices, how many shareholders there are and which address you intend to register — then say plainly whether now is the time.
On LINE @ZURA or by phone 098-897-9292
02
Check the Surat Thani (Koh Samui) address you have
Many estates, townhouses and condominiums in Surat Thani (Koh Samui) restrict office use in their rules or leases. We read them before filing and list what to request from the owner: the consent-to-use letter, house registration copy and the householder's ID.
Prevents the most common rejection
03
If your own address cannot be used
We have no office in Surat Thani (Koh Samui), so we will not register an address there. You may instead register at our Wang Thonglang office in Bangkok — premises we genuinely occupy with staff to receive documents — while you keep working from Surat Thani (Koh Samui).
We only register addresses we occupy
04
Reserve the name and set the shareholding
We reserve the name with the DBD with backups, then set the shareholding, registered capital and director authority to match how you work and how the bank will open the account.
Entirely online
05
Prepare, sign and file
Memorandum, articles, shareholder list, minutes and forms — assembled with signature points marked, sent to Surat Thani (Koh Samui) by post or messenger, then filed via e-Registration or at the DBD office covering the company's seat.
No guarantee on the registrar's queue
06
Tax, VAT, social security and the bank account
Tax ID, VAT registration when thresholds or clients require it, employer registration once you hire, and the document set for opening a corporate account at a bank branch in Surat Thani (Koh Samui).
Includes your filing calendar
07
Monthly accounting and a site people find
Monthly closing, filings on schedule, payroll and social security, plus a website stating what you do, which parts of Surat Thani (Koh Samui) you serve and how to reach you — so Google and AI assistants can recommend you.
Ongoing monthly; no ranking guarantees

Timing depends on name approval, document completeness and government processing — we do not promise approval dates.

Questions from this province

Surat Thani (Koh Samui) FAQ

I am in Surat Thani (Koh Samui) — must I travel into Bangkok?

No. Almost everything runs over LINE @ZURA and email; wet-signature documents go by post or messenger. If it suits you, book a signing visit at our Wang Thonglang office.

Can I register at an address in Surat Thani (Koh Samui)?

Yes, if it is your own address or you hold the owner's consent with the house registration and householder's ID. Many Surat Thani (Koh Samui) estates and condominiums prohibit office use, so we check first; where it is not possible, our Bangkok office address is the alternative.

Can I register in Bangkok but operate in Surat Thani (Koh Samui)?

Yes. The registered seat need not be where you sit, but it must genuinely receive official mail. If you later open a shop, plant or warehouse in Surat Thani (Koh Samui), it must be filed as a branch — we handle the change filings.

What does it cost?

We quote per case — shareholders, registered capital, VAT and the monthly accounting scope. Message LINE @ZURA or call 098-897-9292; we confirm scope and fees in writing before starting.
