Transferring Company Shares in Thailand
Transferring shares in Thailand largely depends on the legal form of the company. Usually, the transfer of shares does not require any approval from the company, but this depends on the regulations set out in the company’s Articles of Association.
All shares transfer have to be recorded in a Register of Shareholders (Shareholder book).
Limited company shares explained
Shares in Thailand are transferred by agreement, as opposed to registration at the company or Ministry of Commerce (DBD).
For the transfer of shares to be valid, a share transfer instrument must be created. The share transfer instrument must be made in writing and signed by both the transferor and transferee. There must also be one witness present to sign the instrument. The share transfer agreement must contain the names of the transferor, transferee and the number of shares being transferred
For the share transfer to be valid, the transferee’s name and address must be entered into the shareholder’s register.
Shareholder register (book): The Company must keep an up-to-date register of shareholders at its registered office. A shareholder book contains the list of share certificates and shareholders, as well as the details of all share transfers. A shareholders list, based on this register, must be sent to the company register at the Department of Business Development once a year.
