RESOURCES FAQ

A few answers before you ask.

Explore common questions by topic. For your own arrangements, check your written confirmation.

Talk to the team

Getting started

Can I start if my export information is incomplete?

Yes. Share your company and products, and indicate what you are preparing. Core tuition within SAN Export Growth Pathway is included for accepted Suppliers in S00–S03; further courses have separate fees. Initial interest does not require all technical details to be complete.

Does submitting interest confirm participation?

No. The team reviews the information and discusses the relevant next steps. Participation, price, benefits and schedules are confirmed separately in writing.

How can I update an enquiry?

Email connect@meetatsan.com from your company contact address. Include the company name and any reference already issued by the team, and explain what should change.

Can equipment, software and service businesses join?

Yes, when the offer serves a relevant 4+1 industry and the business meets programme criteria. Manufacturers, technology developers, service providers and authorised Suppliers should describe their actual role and delivery rights.

Business matching

Are meeting numbers or orders guaranteed?

Meeting targets and available slots are planning figures. A meeting requires relevant needs, mutual acceptance and a compatible schedule. Orders and commercial outcomes depend on the parties.

Can I decline a proposed match?

Yes. Review the proposed information and respond within the communicated timeframe. Both sides need to accept before a meeting can enter the confirmed schedule.

Is Deal Desk support an extra charge?

Shared Deal Desk tools, standard drafts and signing-space coordination are included without an extra charge in the agreed scope. Specialist company-specific advisory work, if requested, is scoped separately.

Can one profile cover several industries or offers?

One company or solution can serve several industries. Keep one primary profile and identify the relevant applications. One Buyer company may have several needs, with different users, evaluators and decision-makers. Interest in a product does not establish demand for every technology offer.

How do samples, Demo and trials fit the matching process?

After both sides accept, agree whether to review a sample, see an equipment or software demonstration, or discuss a trial. Define scope, responsible people, evaluation criteria, timing and any costs before proceeding. An enquiry or demonstration is not an order or support approval.

Course & packages

Which Supplier packages include the online course?

Accepted S00–S03 include Core tuition (reference value THB 12,900/company, up to 3 people). Advanced and other additional courses have separate fees. Detailed learning dates, access and course information will be announced.

Does the resource collection include individual consulting?

The website provides shared guidance and tools. The included course is online group preparation. Tailored research or company-specific consulting is a separate service with an agreed scope and any applicable fee.

Hosted & travel

How does up to 100% airfare support work?

Up to 100% airfare support: up to 50% after eligible participation + up to 50% OCB (Outcome-based Commercial Bonus) after verified qualifying commercial outcomes. Total support stays within the eligible net round-trip fare, comparable Economy basis and approved individual, departure-airport country, actual work-base country and THB 35,000 programme caps. One approved traveller per company per event edition. The base payment follows the document and attendance check after Meeting Day 2; OCB is reviewed separately later under written conditions. No purchase, MoU or Journey is required for the basic 50%. Previously confirmed individual entitlements retain their written terms.

Can I choose Route A or B?

You can express a preference for Samut Prakan or Ayutthaya. Final allocation depends on relevance, host approval, capacity and your confirmed entitlement.

How do I request wheelchair assistance?

Use the optional care selection in Registration and its separate consent, or contact the team privately. You do not need to disclose a diagnosis or medical documents here. Arrangements are confirmed with the team.

Programme

Which dates should I plan around?

Core business matching is on 15–16 December 2026. The optional industry and culture journey is on 17 December. The suggested travel window is 14–18 December; individual arrangements follow written confirmation.

Where can I find my hotel and personal schedule?

The public programme is indicative. Ask the team for your confirmed venue, hotel and individual schedule once issued. Do not treat a public guide as confirmation of a room or appointment.

Data & permissions

Should I attach passport or bank documents here?

No. This enquiry form is for general business and coordination questions. Ask the team for the appropriate separately confirmed channel before supplying sensitive documents.

Are company and representative publication permissions separate?

Yes. Registration has independent optional choices for the company name/logo and the representative’s personal name/job title. Care requests and marketing are separate. No profile is published automatically by the form.

HOSTED BUYER · ESTIMATE

Estimate Your Airfare Support

Try an estimate without uploading personal documents. SAN must review and confirm the actual entitlement.

Your travel

Enter an IATA code to match its country, or enter the airport name and select its country. Use the airport where the journey begins, not a connection.

Enter the total for both outbound and return flights once. Do not enter a one-way amount or double an existing round-trip total. The departure cap cannot exceed your actual work-base cap.

Deductions · same currency as the receipt

Enter each item once. Tick “already removed” if it is already excluded from the amount above. Employer payment is not automatically deducted.

Your support estimate

Only enter the individual cap from your approval letter. Leaving this blank still allows an estimate using known caps.

Formula, rates and confirmation

The lowest of 50% of the eligible net round-trip fare, 50% of comparable Economy round-trip pricing, the approved individual cap (if any), the departure-airport country cap, the actual work-base country cap and THB 35,000.

Receipt: BOT commercial-bank average MID from the latest business day before actual payment; direct conversion to THB with normalized currency units. USD payout: approved THB ÷ (ECB USD/THB reference + 0.35). The two rate stages have different purposes.

USD payout uses ECB via Frankfurter, with the ECB provider fixed. Receipt valuation uses BOT commercial-bank average MID. For a currency absent from that primary set, ECB via Frankfurter is the disclosed fallback, subject to SAN disclosure before confirmation; missing primary history is not silently replaced. If neither source covers it, SAN must announce a fixed source before confirmation.

Confirmed THB and USD are locked with rate evidence and policy version. Later API updates never rewrite them. Cash denominations and remainder handling are pending.
