Pharmaceutical Product Registration in Thailand
A structured two-step registration process governed by the Thai FDA — from Import License application through Credential Certificate approval and final market authorization.
Medicinal Product Classification
Correctly classify the medicinal product under Thai FDA regulations — Specially Controlled Drugs, Dangerous Drugs, Drugs That Are Neither Specially Controlled Nor Dangerous, or Household Remedy Drugs — to determine the registration pathway.
Classification
Import License Application
Before initiating a registration, companies must obtain an Import License to legally bring pharmaceutical products into Thailand. Required documentation includes drug composition/formula, literature and product information, and labeling and packaging details.
Step 1
Dossier Preparation
Prepare a complete dossier for submission to the Thai FDA including product sample, clinical data (if applicable), safety and efficacy studies, pharmacological and toxicological information, Certificates of Free Sale and GMP compliance, and complete labeling and packaging details.
Dossier Compilation
Credential Certificate Application
Once the Import License is approved, apply for a Credential Certificate by submitting the complete dossier to the Thai FDA for formal review and evaluation.
Step 2
Completeness Check
The Thai FDA conducts a completeness check of the submitted dossier to verify all required documentation is present and properly formatted before proceeding to technical evaluation.
FDA Review
Technical Evaluation
Following the completeness check, the Thai FDA performs a thorough technical evaluation of the dossier covering safety, efficacy, quality, and pharmacological data submitted by the applicant.
Technical Review
Query Response
Following the technical evaluation, applicants may receive queries from the Thai FDA that must be addressed before final approval is granted. RABT Global manages all query responses on your behalf.
Query Handling
Final Approval & Market Authorization
Upon satisfactory resolution of all queries and completion of the review process, the Thai FDA grants final approval, enabling the product to be legally marketed and distributed in Thailand.
Market Authorization
Post-Registration Compliance
Maintain ongoing compliance through change notifications, license renewals, product registration holder transfers, and post-market obligations under Thai FDA requirements.
Post-Registration
