TL;DR · 核心要点
泰国经济特区正被跨国电信诈骗团伙利用为运营据点,引发政府跨部门联合整治。核心合规信息包括:1)泰国投资促进委员会(BOI)将收紧经济特区企业注册审核,重点核查实控人、业务实质及资金流向;2)泰国央行(BOT)要求特区内金融机构强化客户尽职调查(CDD)和异常交易报告(STR),72小时内上报可疑活动;3)内政部与移民局已启动对特区内外籍员工签证真实性的突击稽查;4)《反洗钱法》B.E. 2542(1999)及2023年修正案明确将‘协助诈骗运营’列为洗钱上游犯罪,最高可处10年监禁。对企业影响:在泰经济特区注册或运营的中资、东南亚跨境企业须立即开展合规自查,避免因关联风险导致执照吊销、账户冻结或刑事责任。

English Summary
Thai economic zones—including EEC, BOI-promoted industrial estates, and border special economic zones—are increasingly exploited by transnational scam operations, prompting urgent regulatory action. Key compliance requirements: (1) BOI has tightened pre-approval vetting for new registrations, mandating verified beneficial ownership, operational substance documentation, and third-party financial due diligence; (2) BOT Circular No. 2/2024 requires all licensed financial institutions in economic zones to file STRs within 72 hours of detecting suspicious transactions linked to telecom fraud; (3) Immigration Bureau and Ministry of Interior are conducting unannounced audits of foreign work permits and residence status for staff in high-risk zones. Non-compliance may trigger license revocation, asset freezing, or criminal prosecution under Thailand’s Anti-Money Laundering Act (as amended in 2023). Foreign businesses—especially those with Chinese, Cambodian, or Myanmar-linked operations—must act immediately to review entity structures, KYC protocols, and local staffing practices.
