A court order appointing an estate administrator — what should you know about restrictions on land ownership by foreigners?

The scope of this answer is “A court order appointing an estate administrator”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. The terms that frame this page are court · order · appointing · estate. The specifics here are document type: Courtorder, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. 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.
