/In Thailand, it is generally required to have a registered office address for company registration. However, it is not mandatory to lease a physical office space specifically for the purpose of company registration. Here are some key points to consider:

1. Registered Office Address: A registered office address is the official address of the company, which serves as the company’s legal and administrative contact point. It is required to provide a registered office address during the company registration process.

1. Options for Registered Office: The registered office can be a physical office space, a virtual office, or the address of a professional service provider who offers registered office services. The important aspect is that the address is a physical location where official documents and correspondence can be received and where the company can be contacted.

2. Compliance with Regulations: The registered office address must be located within Thailand. It should be a valid and verifiable address that can receive official communications and notices from government authorities, such as the Department of Business Development (DBD).

3. Considerations for Physical Office Space: While it is not mandatory to lease a physical office space for company registration, there are instances where having a physical office may be necessary or beneficial. For example, certain business activities may require a physical presence, or having a dedicated office space may align with your operational needs or credibility.

4. Rental Agreement for Certain Activities: In some cases, certain business activities or licenses may require a physical office space to meet specific regulatory requirements. For example, obtaining specific licenses or permits may require proof of a physical office address and a lease agreement.

It is advisable to consult with a Thai lawyer or business consultant who can provide guidance on the specific requirements and options for a registered office address based on your business activities and compliance needs. They can help you navigate the company registration process and ensure compliance with Thai regulations.
