Suggestions for Foreign Investors
Clients should be aware of restrictions on foreign ownership of Thai companies. Foreign shareholding limits apply to every stock listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Most listed companies limit foreign ownership to a maximum of 49%, except those in the banking and finance sector, which generally permit only a 25% foreign holding.
To ensure you are entitled to receive dividends and rights issues, clients are advised to hold stocks registered according to their residential status: Foreigners should hold "F – Foreign Registered Stocks," whereas Thai citizens should hold "L - Local Registered Stocks." However, in order to ensure benefits for foreigners who hold local registered stocks, they are advised to hold “NVDRs - Non-voting Depository Receipts,” which ensures Rights Issues and Dividends will be received, except voting rights. Please note that foreign shares of some stocks might not be available due to a lack of liquidity. Clients have the option to buy local shares and later inform the company to convert them to foreign shares. Conversion can be completed only when foreign shareholding is available.
Depending on liquidity, clients holding foreign shares have the option to sell them on the local board after such shares are converted from the foreign board. Conversion from the foreign to local board can be completed within one working day after notification. The conversion fee is Baht 100.00 per application for each company. For more information on share conversion, please contact your Marketing Officer.
When KT ZMICO acts as a custodian, we will inform the securities registrar, the Thailand Securities Depository Company Limited (TSD), the identities of shareholders as of the book closing dates. Consequently, customers will be entitled to receive the following:
- Rights Issues - click for information
- Dividends - click for information
- Voting Rights

** The company reserves the right to make any changes to regulations without the prior consent of the client.**
