On the process of company registration, I get confused between the total registered capital and the paid-up capital. What is the difference? Can you explain this to me and give an example to help me understand easier?

Panwa: The total registered capital is different from the paid-up capital, which total registered capital is the amount that your company will use to build, develop or grow your business operations. Paid-up capital on the other hand is the amount of money that your company has been paid by the shareholders, which such will also determine the amount that the Thai shareholder will show as their proof of funds through the bank certificate under their personal account.

For example, your total registered capital is Baht 100,000 then for paid-up capital, you have options for the paid-up amounts, with minimum 25% to 100% fully paid up. So, if you choose;

1. 25% partially paid-up – the Thai shareholder must present on his/her bank certificate that he/she has Baht 12,750 on his/her personal bank account.
2. 100% fully paid-up – the Thai shareholder must present on his/her bank certificate that he/she has Baht 51,000 on his/her personal bank account.
