What You Should Know About Changing Thai Company’s Directors

您應該知道的變更泰國公司董事

A company director plays an important role in a company. You can refer to our earlier article “Responsibility of Directors” at https://0rz.tw/xftjd for further information. Therefore, when a director decides to retire or resign, it is important to know relevant regulations and procedures.

公司董事在公司扮演重要的角色，您可以參考我們以前的文章“泰國董事責任”進一步了解在https://0rz.tw/xftjd。因此當公司董事決定退休或辭任，了解相關法規及程序是件重要的事情。

In order to change company’s directors in Thailand, the decision can be either passes by the board of directors meeting or shareholders’ meeting. If the Articles of Association of a company does not specially indicate that the board of directors has the authority to make a resolution related to change of the director’s authority, a shareholders’ special resolution should be passed. To pass a special resolution, an extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) should be held by law.

變更泰國公司董事可由董事會決議或是股東會決議通過。如果公司章程未說明董事會有權利決議變更公司董事，應由股東會決議通過。為了通過股東會決議，應依法舉行臨時股東大會(“EGM”)。

In addition, there should be an announcement for the arrangement of a meeting. The company needs to advertise the change of directors in a local newspaper and to send an invitation letter for its shareholders’ meeting. The announcement should be made 7 days in advance of such meeting.

此外，應宣布會議的舉行。公司需要將變更公司董事一事刊登在一份當地報紙並向股東發出開會通知書。應在會議取舉行前7天發出開會通知。

After the resolution has been passed, the application should be made within 14 days of the change. The application form for changing company’s directors, a copy of the ID card/passport of both old and new directors, a copy of company’s shareholders list, and a copy of the affiliate company must be filled at the Department of Business Development, Ministry of Commerce (“DBD”) within 14 days of the change.

當會議通過後，應在14天內提出變更申請。變更董事的申請表、新舊董事的身份證/護照影本、股東清單影本、以及公司資料影本應在變更後14天內向泰國商務部商務發展廳(“DBD”)提出申請。

Please be noted that according to the law, it is not enforced how many times per year the company can register the amendment of the director's authority or the number of directors, so it can be considered that a Thai company can register the amendment of the director's authority or the number of directors any number of times.

請注意，根據泰國法律規定，公司每年不限登記董事職權變更或董事人數變更次數，因此可以認為泰國公司可以不限次數登記董事職權變更或人數變更。
