WAYS YOU CAN OWN LAND IN THAILAND

When it comes to land ownership, only Thai citizens can own it directly in their name. Foreigners can own a house or building, but not the land itself. Foreigners have two options for land ownership: renting through a legally recognized lease at the Land Office or owning it through a Thai company that holds the land as an asset. Your choice will depend on your specific situation and preferences.

LAND RENT

This is the most common way of owning land in Thailand. In this situation, the land where your house is located is owned by a Thai citizen or a Thai entity. When you buy a property, you create a 30-year lease with the landowner, which is recorded on the land title deed, known in Thai as a “Chanote”. This land lease agreement, called the Land Lease Agreement (LLA), is officially recognized by the Thai government. It ensures that the landowner cannot cancel or interfere with your right to use the land during the lease term. Thai law so far only allows the maximum lease term of 30 years to be officially registered at the land office. This 30-year lease is a guaranteed right protected by the Thai government. You, as a tenant, have the legal right to use the land, and no one can deny you access or use of the land during this lease period. In addition, you have the right to transfer or lease the land to anyone without the prior consent of the owner of the land.

FREEHOLD

Usually only Thai citizens can own land in Thailand. However, if you are a foreigner and want to own a house and land without restrictions, there is an option. You can buy land through a Thai company. Here’s how it works: A lawyer helps you set up a Thai company where you become the majority shareholder and manager of the company. Foreigners can own up to 49% of the company, with the remaining 51% owned by at least 2 Thais. Even if you are a foreigner, you can still have majority ownership and control of the company as its chief executive and sole decision maker. Many foreigners prefer this method of company ownership because they believe it offers better protection and real ownership rights compared to land leases. However, as a company owner, you will need to file annual taxes and prepare financial statements, which will require the help of an accountant, costing approximately 12,000-20,000 THB per year. It is important that you do not use this company for business activities, as it can complicate your tax situation when you decide to sell the property later.

It is 900 km from the capital, the population is around 50,000. The island is about 25 kilometers at its widest point. The entire island is surrounded by a 51 km long road that connects the coastal areas.

LONG TERM VISAS OPTIONS IN THAILAND

After you have a short-term visa and want to stay in Thailand longer or even want to live in the country, it is ideal to consider the options you have for a long-term Thai visa.

Long-term visas can be difficult to obtain as there are many available. However, understanding what they are can point you in the right direction. Then you can look for insurance for moving your belongings and furnishing a house or apartment in this beautiful country.

Educational visa

Thai education visas are granted to those who wish to study at university, attend seminars, do internships or receive training in Thailand. Generally, the holder must stay in the country for 90 days. In addition, the visa can be extended by one year from the first date of entry.

Since this is considered a non-immigrant ED visa, you must send the application to an out-of-country consulate or Thai embassy. Before you can do so, you should enroll in a government-recognised full-time training course. It must meet visa requirements and you must pay 50 percent of the total cost.

After registration, the institution must provide you with the necessary papers to submit the application. He can often send it directly to where you submit your application, and it usually takes four to five business days.

Under the ED visa, you must report your current address to the immigration office in Thailand every 90 days. It can be done by post, through a proxy (power of attorney) or in person at the office.

Business visa

If you are opening a company or applying for a job in Thailand, you need a business visa. It is best to get it before visiting the country. You can also extend it to a long-term visa through the local immigration office.

There are two different categories for foreigners:

Business

• Non-immigrant means you are running a business or starting a company. You have a 90-day visa (single entry) issued in your home country that allows you to stay in Thailand for 90 consecutive days.
• Then there’s the one-year nonimmigrant visa. This is given to those who do business in Thailand but frequently travel in and out of the country. Once your work permit is processed, it will be extended to a visa. However, you must obtain sponsorship from a company or entity in Thailand for these purposes.

Employment

If you plan to work in Thailand, you need an initial 90-day nonimmigrant visa (B) from your home country.
Your potential employer (in Thailand) must sponsor your visa application.
The application for a work permit is processed during these 90 days.
Once you have a valid work permit, you can apply for a one-year nonimmigrant visa extension and continue working for that company.
You usually have to report your address to the Thai immigration office every 90 days. Whenever you travel outside of Thailand, you must obtain a re-entry permit in order to return.

Follower Visa

The follower visa is a bit different from the others. This often involves the spouses or children of someone on a retirement visa or an expat working in Thailand. In a sense, you want to live there, and then your children or spouse will arrange for you after everything.

In general, children must be under the age of 20 to apply for a successor visa. However, there is no age limit for spouses. This usually only works great if you plan to live in Thailand for a long period of time (one year or more). Otherwise, spouses and children can often receive regular short visas for holidays and visits to your home.

Elite Visa

The Thai elite have just announced changes! Current Elite visas will be canceled and new visas will be offered in October!

The elite visa is granted to Thailand Privilege Card members and is a long-term option. It is categorized according to tourist visa or privileged entry visa which allows stay in the country along with specific benefits for five, 10 or 20 years. Overall, it depends on the package you choose and the membership fee you pay.

The Elite Visa is a five-year multiple-entry visa that is renewable and can be extended by one year per entry. If you have a membership for 10 to 20 years, this five-year visa is granted every five years.
Holders of such a visa can enjoy a continuous stay in the country. In a sense, they don’t have to leave every 90 days, as other types of visas require.
You are actually represented by Elite staff when it comes to reporting every 90 days as Thai immigration still requires it. Generally, holders get expedited passport processing and immigration formalities on arrival in Thailand, making it the best choice for many people.

It is necessary to be cautious, especially in popular tourist destinations, where there are pickpockets as well as organized groups offering the sale of various products or a tour of attractions at “bargain prices”. We recommend rejecting the purchase of precious stones or other products offered on the beach and on a credit card, with the purchase delivered to the buyer’s home address, in most cases the delivered stones do not have the value that the tourist will pay for them, and refunds are almost impossible, as stores often change your address, or they don’t exist at all.

In Thailand, the use of drones that are not registered in advance is prohibited. Drones that will be used for commercial purposes must be registered in advance and insurance must be presented. Strict rules apply to the use of drones.

Thailand is referred to as a country of “sex tourism”, yet prostitution and sex with persons under the age of 18 are strictly prohibited. In businesses and bars, there are also cases of robbing tourists, who are deliberately served drinks with sedatives or drugs.

When swimming in the sea, we do not recommend moving away from the coast, in several areas of Thailand there are poisonous jellyfish (especially between May and October). Sea currents can also be dangerous.

Protection against mosquitoes is essential. Considering the possibility of contracting malaria and dengue fever (mainly the provinces of Kamphaeng Phet, Nakhon Sawan, Phichit, Uthai Thani), we recommend consulting the Clinic of Foreign Diseases before the trip. We recommend paying adequate attention to preventive measures against HIV infection and hepatitis B and C.
