Food & Restaurant License Thailand

A restaurant license is required to operate a restaurant business in Thailand.

A restaurant license application is submitted to the District office where the restaurant is located.

After submission of the application, the District office will send out an officer to inspect the restaurant premises.

The employees of the restaurant must also take and pass a test given at the District office relating to food safety and hygiene.

After the inspection and tests have been passed, the District office will issue the restaurant license.

Provide the required documents to the district officer
Once the application has been submitted, we’ll contact the officer to make an appointment for him/her to check the restaurant. Based on this, additional documents might be required. Note that the employees should be present to explain certain food making processes
Every Thai employee additionally will have to go for a test at the district office (50 multiple choice questions, of which 40 have to be answered correctly). It concerns questions about hygiene etc. The officer will provide each employee with a small book which they can study.
Upon confirmation that everything is in order (both the supplied documents, the restaurant itself and the employees’ tests), the officer will issue the food license (which may take up to one month). At this stage, the government fee will have to be paid.
