Can a foreign company apply for Thai FDA directly without a local entity?
Under Thai law, the Thai FDA does not grant licenses directly to overseas entities. An applicant must either: 1. Establish a registered Thai corporate entity (with appropriate commercial business objectives); or 2. Appoint a licensed Thai regulatory agent/importer (such as IntBizTH) to hold the product registration. IntBizTH can provide end-to-end setup including corporate registration, GMP warehouse licensing, and FDA approvals.
What is the typical timeline for obtaining Thai FDA approval?
Timelines vary by product classification and risk level: Cosmetic notifications typically take 7–14 working days; Food & Dietary Supplements require 15–30 working days; Medical Devices range from 15–30 days for Class 1 (Listing) up to 60–120 days for Class 2–4 (Notification & Registration) involving full CSDT dossier review.
Is a GMP-certified warehouse or premises inspection mandatory in Thailand?
Yes. Thai FDA regulations strictly require that imported health products be stored in a facility that satisfies national Good Storage Practice (GSP/GMP) standards. Thai FDA officials conduct physical or virtual site audits. IntBizTH assists with warehouse architectural blueprint layout, temperature/humidity standard operating procedures (SOP), and audit facilitation.
What key documents are required for cosmetic notifications in Thailand?
Essential documentation includes: 1. Complete quantitative formulation breakdown (100% INCI); 2. Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) or GMP/ISO 22716 certificate from country of origin; 3. Legalized Letter of Authorization (LoA); 4. Thai bilingual packaging & labelling artwork; 5. Product Information File (PIF) and safety test reports.
What are the regulatory requirements for medical devices (Class 1–4)?
Under the Medical Device Act B.E. 2562, imported medical devices require an establishment license followed by CSDT technical dossiers: Device Master File (DMF), Risk Management Plan (ISO 14971), Essential Principles Checklist, Certificate of Analysis, and Thai Instructions for Use (IFU).
Do we need separate advertising permits to run ads or sell online in Thailand?
Yes! Marketing and advertising health products in Thailand is strictly governed by law. Food & supplements require 'Khor-Or' (ฆอ.) permits, medical devices require 'Khor-Phor' (ฆพ.) permits, and drugs require 'Khor-Thor' (ฆท.) permits. Advertising without prior approval incurs heavy fines and suspension. IntBizTH manages product registration and advertising legal clearance simultaneously.
