Thailand has no equivalent to European style passporting arrangements, with the following being the closest yet much narrower schemes available in Thailand:
- ASEAN Collective Investment Schemes (ASEAN CIS) aim to streamline the regulatory approval and filing processes for offering investment units in certain qualified collective investment schemes (CIS) across certain ASEAN nations (at present, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore).
- The Asia Region Funds Passport (ARFP) aims to facilitate units of funds authorized in a participating country to be offered publicly in other participating countries through locally licensed distributors upon approval as an ARFP fund.
- Foreign exchange-traded fund CIS (foreign ETF) allow the units of foreign ETF established under foreign law and meeting the criteria specified by the SEC to be listed on the Thai stock exchange and offered to investors in Thailand.
- Mutual Recognition of Funds between Hong Kong and Thailand (HK-TH MRF) aims to facilitate cross-border offerings of funds between Hong Kong and Thailand, setting out mutual conditions and criteria for funds and CIS operators to meet the eligibility requirements under the HK-TH MRF. Funds to be offered publicly in another country (host country) through locally licensed distributors of the host country must be approved by the jurisdiction regulators in which such funds are established (home country) and must meet the mutual requirements under the HK-TH MRF.
