Procedure
Procedure
- Permit Difficulty High
A procedure that allows a business, activity or stay that the law generally restricts, after review; licenses fall into this type. The authority reviews facility standards, location and consultation with other agencies, and a permit can be refused if the standards are not met.
- Registration Difficulty Medium
The authority checks whether the statutory registration requirements, such as facilities, staff and capital, are met before issuing a registration certificate. Registration can be refused if the requirements are not met.
We will prepare the business plan and application documents required for registration of a passenger transport business or for a route license that can actually be applied for. We provide dedicated services for private taxi transfer/inheritance and special passenger registration.

Business type and authority: decide whether it is a route business such as city, intercity or village buses or an area business such as taxis, chartered buses or special passenger transport, whether it needs a license or registration, and whether the licensing authority is the Minister or the Mayor/Do Governor (or the city, county or district where delegated).
- 02
Check whether new entry is possible: new licenses or registrations can be restricted by area or period, such as taxi quotas or chartered bus supply control, so confirm with the competent authority whether new applications are accepted before signing garage or vehicle contracts, and consider acquiring an existing business if necessary.
- 03
Check disqualifications: confirm that neither the representative nor any corporate officer falls under Article 6 (adult ward, bankrupt not reinstated, less than 2 years since serving a prison sentence for violating the Act, under a suspended sentence, less than 2 years since revocation of a license or registration).
