1
1–2 weeks

Assessment

Product classification, dossier pre-review, feasibility check

2
2–3 months

PHASE I Submission

Dossier compilation & submission to DOA / DLD / FDA

3
6–12 months

Sample Testing & Field Trials

Official lab tests & local trials

4
2–3 months

Phase III review

Final dossier review & query responses

5
3–6 months

Approval

Official approval & issuance

6
Ongoing

Renewal

Variations & certificate renewal

1

Stage 1 — Assessment

Determine product category, the applicable registration pathway and any banned/restricted risk, then pre-review your existing dossier for completeness. Deliverables: feasibility report, dossier gap list, timeline and cost estimate. You provide: AI details, formulation, existing test data.

2

Stage 2 — PHASE I Submission

We collate and translate the documents into Thai, compile the dossier, submit formally to DOA / DLD / FDA, then track acceptance and answer official queries. Deliverables: submission receipt and acceptance number. You provide: power of attorney, certificate-of-origin documents and product technical data.

3

Stage 3 — Sample Testing & Field Trials

The official laboratory tests sample composition and content, while we design and run local field trials in parallel — collecting efficacy and residue data and compiling the reports. Deliverables: official test reports, trial protocols, efficacy and residue reports. You provide: sufficient original-packaged samples, trial samples and technical support. Note: crop seasons directly affect timing and must be scheduled ahead; test results that don't match the dossier are the most common cause of rejection and resubmission.

4

Stage 4 — PHASE III Review

Consolidate test and trial reports into the final dossier for official review, track progress end-to-end and respond to queries promptly. Deliverables: final dossier, query responses. Note: queries carry response deadlines — delays push the review back or trigger rejection.

5

Stage 5 — Approval

Complete the approval process and obtain the pesticide registration certificate, then plan your product launch. Deliverables: pesticide registration certificate. Our role: track progress end-to-end and follow up proactively.

6

Stage 6 — Renewal & Maintenance

Label filing, packaging updates, information change filings, and renewal after the 6-year validity period. Deliverables: annual compliance calendar, variation filings, certificate renewal.

Timeline Notes

What Slows Things Down

Delays rarely come from the authority — they come from inadequate preparation. These four are the main culprits.

Incomplete dossiers

The most common cause. One missing test report can trigger a full rejection round — months lost.

Missing crop seasons

Field trials are bound by planting cycles — miss a season and you wait a year.

Entity not ready

Without a compliant Thai entity, or if business scope excludes pesticides, filing gets blocked.

Slow query responses

Official queries carry response deadlines; missing data means deferral.
