A will — what should you know about restrictions on land ownership by foreigners?

The subject of this page is “A will”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The specifics here are document type: Will, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are know · restrictions · land · ownership. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. Before starting, count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. The next step is confirming the filing channel and the copy or file format required. As a general rule a foreigner may not own land in Thailand. The Land Code sets out specific exceptions and conditions, with s.93 and s.94 addressing acquisition by a foreigner and disposal of land acquired without permission within the period fixed by the competent official. Individual situations should be reviewed with a lawyer before any decision. The Condominium Act B.E. 2522 as amended allows foreigners to hold units totalling not more than 49% of the aggregate unit floor area in a given condominium building, subject to the eligibility and foreign-currency evidence rules in the Act. The juristic person of the condominium issues the foreign-quota certificate and the debt-free certificate required for transfer.
