Thailand's Cabinet approved the Startup Act framework on 8 September 2026, clearing the way for legal reforms to better accommodate startup fundraising and equity management. Limited companies established within 10 years, with average revenue not exceeding 300 million baht over the past 3 years, can self-certify through the National Innovation Agency (NIA) to access a 5-year benefits window (extendable to 10 years for deep-tech and agri-tech). This removes significant constraints in existing company law around capital-raising tools and international investment structures that startups routinely use, positioning Thailand as more competitive for startup ecosystems.
