BOI promotion unlocks 100% foreign ownership, tax holidays and easier visas — but the application has to be done right. Here is the process, step by step, for 2026.
The steps
| Step | What happens | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Eligibility & strategy | Confirm activity, tier and incentives | 1-2 weeks |
| 2. Application | Prepare the business plan and submit to the BOI | 1-3 weeks |
| 3. Review & approval | BOI evaluates; interview where required | ~40-90 working days |
| 4. Company & certificate | Incorporate, accept the promotion, get the certificate | 2-4 weeks |
| 5. Post-approval | Bank, visas/work permits, compliance | ongoing |
What to prepare
A clear business plan, investment figures, and proof your activity fits a promoted category. We assess eligibility before filing so you don't waste time on a weak application.
