Following the implementation of the regulation governing online registration of partnerships and limited companies, the Department of Business Development (the “DBD”) has officially launched the new digital registration system called the DBD Biz Regist on 16 January 2025. As part of the transition towards having the DBD Biz Regist as the sole business registration channel in Thailand by 1 July 2025, the DBD has discontinued its online pre-reservation system for business registration since 3 February 2025 to encourage the use of the DBD Biz Regist instead of a physical system which has long been in use.

Although this new concept is not applicable to public companies, we believe it is worthwhile exploring the key business consolidation schemes currently available under the relevant primary corporate laws and the key considerations when deciding to implement a merger and/or amalgamation.
