Starry Law Firm Thailand has recently been appointed by Shenzhen Xinghan Laser Technology Co., Ltd. ("Xinghan Laser") to provide services relating to its applications for an Investment Promotion Certificate from the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) and a Foreign Business Certificate (FBC). Through professional legal support, Starry will assist Xinghan Laser with the establishment and compliant operation of its Thailand project.

Shenzhen Xinghan Laser Technology Co., Ltd.

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Xinghan Laser is a national high-tech enterprise specialising in the research, development, manufacture and sale of high-power semiconductor laser components. The company has an approximately 30,000-square-metre R&D and manufacturing base, including approximately 20,000 square metres of Class 1,000 cleanroom space, and a workforce of approximately 500 employees.

Its products cover wavelengths from 450 to 1064 nm, power ranges from tens of watts to kilowatts, and fibre core diameters from 105 to 400 μm. They are used in industrial laser pumping, laser research and other applications. Its industrial laser pump-source products serve global markets and have been supplied to Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States.

As manufacturing continues to develop across Southeast Asia, countries including Thailand are improving their investment environment and expanding industrial support. Demand for laser technology and related applications is correspondingly broadening, creating market potential that merits close attention.

As a supplier of high-power fibre-coupled semiconductor lasers, Xinghan Laser's Thailand expansion is expected to support further overseas-market development, enhance service to local and regional customers, and strengthen its global competitiveness.

BOI and FBC Application Services

An Investment Promotion Certificate is an important policy instrument used by Thailand to promote foreign investment. For eligible projects that receive approval, the BOI may grant relevant rights and incentives, subject to the approved activity and the applicable conditions. An FBC is the certificate mechanism for foreign operators falling within Section 12 of Thailand's Foreign Business Act; it is distinct from a Foreign Business Licence (FBL).

In an environment where competition in the Southeast Asian laser market coexists with foreign-investment regulatory requirements, coordinated BOI and FBC applications can help a business pursue available investment-promotion rights—where project conditions are met—and conduct BOI-promoted activities through a compliant legal pathway. For Xinghan Laser, this will provide important legal support for engaging local customers and supply chains, improving project responsiveness, and managing cross-border investment and operational risks.

Drawing on its experience in investment promotion, foreign-business entry and corporate compliance in Thailand, Starry Law Firm Thailand will provide practical and efficient legal support to Xinghan Laser, helping the project progress steadily and laying a sound compliance foundation for its development in Thailand and across Southeast Asia.
