Startup Factory × CERØ AgencyBangkok · Thailand

Relocate to Bangkok.
Without pausing your business.

If you have a digital business and pay 40–50% tax in Spain, Germany or France, Bangkok can completely change your model. 5-year visa, 0% on foreign income, €1,200/month cost of living. We evaluate it together — and if there's fit, CERØ executes it from start to finish.

Why Bangkok

The real reasons, without romanticism

0%

Tax on foreign income

Income generated outside Thailand and not remitted in the same tax year: zero taxation. It's not a Twitter rumour — it's Thai law. Legal, documented, validated by local tax firms.

5 years

DTV Visa — multi-entry

The Destination Thailand Visa provides real stability. No annual renewals, no panic runs to neighbouring countries, no immigration anxiety. Five years on paper from day one.

€510/mo

Bangkok city-centre apartment

European-quality accommodation — pool, gym, security — in areas like Ekkamai, Thonglor or Rama 9. Food, transport and leisure: ~€300/month extra. Total cost of living: ~€1,200/month.

GMT+7

The timezone nobody expects

Your morning ends before Europe opens. Afternoons are completely yours. None of the exhaustion of the European founder trapped in meetings until 7pm. Here you finish earlier.

Your clients notice nothing. Your operations continue as usual. SF can remain your execution team from Bangkok if you need it.

Criteria

Honesty before anything else

As with everything we do, we first see if it makes sense. Less than 10% of projects we analyze have a real fit with SF. We apply the same criteria here.

It makes sense if…

  • You have digital income of +€30K/year and pay taxes in Spain, Germany, France or Italy
  • You operate online and your clients can work with you from anywhere
  • You've been thinking about optimising your tax situation legally and structurally
  • You want a stable base in Asia without losing connection to the European ecosystem
  • You have a registered company or work as a freelancer with international clients

It doesn't make sense if…

  • Your income depends on physical presence in a specific country
  • You're looking for something quick without fully understanding the tax and legal implications
  • You earn less than €30K/year — the savings don't justify the structural costs

If it doesn't fit right now, we tell you in the first conversation. No beating around the bush.

I've been operating from Bangkok for years. The tax side is real. But what nobody tells you is what happens in your head when you stop working with the state breathing down your neck.
