Thai owners and RAK ICC
Thai clients use RAK ICC mainly for holding shares in operating companies. RAK International Corporate Centre — the largest UAE offshore registry, with foundations, segregated portfolio companies and a Premium Product for Dubai-property holding.
RAK ICC Offshore Company for Thai Citizens is one of the questions GoldenKey answers every working day, and the honest answer depends on three things: the bank's appetite, the quality of your file, and how the activity on the licence reads to a compliance officer.
From Thailand, the specific wrinkle is BOT outward remittance rules; plan the source-of-funds file around it before the registered agent's KYC, not after.
Thailand-side considerations
Owning a UAE offshore company may be reportable in Thailand under controlled-foreign-company or foreign-asset rules; the UAE reports under CRS to participating jurisdictions. GoldenKey structures for transparency, and recommends a Thailand tax adviser confirm the home-side position.
