About the License to sell alcohol

Before a restaurant or bar operating in Thailand can sell alcohol, it must obtain a license to sell alcohol. This license represents an authorization that allows a company to sell alcohol legally.
In the category of companies that require this license, we find pubs, bars, restaurants, and importers but also wholesalers, hotels, clubs, theaters, and grocery stores. These licenses are valid for one year, and you must renew them immediately after they expire.

Submit the alcohol license to the District Office for the corresponding area. The license to sell alcohol must be in the name of the business owner.
This request requires the registration documents of the requesting company, the proof of the address of the restaurant or bar, the copies of the registration documents of the house for the restaurant the identification of the documents of the license holder, and the rest of the documents.

Additionally, a deposit may be required, but it is very important to remember that selling alcohol near schools or religious areas is prohibited.
