  1. A google search will bring up free options. Otherwise, just write something yourself, its not that important, its really just a show of good faith, agreed price, deposit paid, who pays what fees etc.
  2. Yes, entry into a yellow book is required to get Pink ID, The process of going into a yellow book puts you in the database, generates an ID number etc. the printing of the ID is a 5 minute process after all the information in the yellow book has been generated. its a NON-Thai ID. The card actually says, in big bold letters "identification card for people who do not have Thai citizenship"
  3. The act is always active and in effect, its just the enforcement that varies. Every time you check into a hotel, they are reporting you as per the notice you post. And otherwise your landlord is supposed to be reporting you. Most of the time immigration requires a completed TM30 before conducting any other business with them. No ongoing business with immigration , it wont come up. Your agent posting that notice is really just drumming up business.
  4. A condo can be in a will and inherited, but as others say, the usual taxes, fees and foreign funds is the same as a normal sale. If the land office says the condo is worth 1 M baht then the person inheriting the condo will need to show that amount of foreign currency coming in to Thailand. They can then spend the money or send it back home, but the money has to come in.
  5. OP, are you talking about Juristic person, or juristic manager, as they are two different things. (juristic person can hire/fire juristic manager) The act clearly states one person cannot be both. But otherwise I don't think you will find any restriction on a committee member being either
  6. I think that was maybe the case buying expensive replacement cartridges. Nowadays you can buy 4 100ml bottle refills for less than 100 baht, 50 baht on lazada. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/canon-100-ml-color-fly-i
  7. I bought a brother printer with refillable tanks, 3 years ago, and the tanks are still 50% full. Still works great. It doesn't get a lot of use, yearly marriage extension (that's half a ream of paper, lol), wife prints photos and signs for her business, menus for a friends cafe. It has a great feature, even if turned off, it cycles through a jet clean once a month. So no surprises when you go to use it after a spell.
  8. They are still just listing the various asking prices, not what properties sell for. There is no official data or statistics they can draw on. I sold a condo last week, fazwaz has no idea what I sold it for. Look up your own condo block, often it will be very wrong.
  9. It comes down to why you want to buy a condo. If you are buying to sell for a profit, then NO, its not a good idea. The Thai market doesn't work like that with flipping and capital gains. Properties can be worth the same 10 years later. If you are buying to own, live in, not pay rent etc, then YES, its a great idea. They are incredibly cheap to buy, the fees are cheap. In as little as 8 years you can save the purchase price in rent not paid. Its yours, no rent increase, you can decorate to taste, and even that is not expensive. The main thing to be aware of is there is no sales data in Thailand, often its hard to know what the realistic price is for a property. Asking price means nothing. You can see 1M baht condos for sale for 3M. People buy the 3M baht condo then, when they cant sell it and see other similar condos selling for 1M, complain how bad the market is.
  10. Gift tax is for personal income. whether or not tax is due on income. its got nothing to do with the transfer fees and taxes on property. Depending on circumstances, the husband could have an income tax liability on being given a property. Gift tax is so people cannot avoid income tax by declaring something a gift. The Thai tax office may well levy a gift tax on the husband receiving a property. Again, nothing to do with property transfer. The Land office charges transfer fees, stamp duty, capital gains etc., (on what they say its worth) every time a property changes hands. Regardless of whether the property changed hands for 10 baht or 10 million baht.
  11. An amount of money, equal to the price of the condo, need to be transferred into Thailand from another country. The land office will have their own appraisal of the condo, So you cant say the price is 1,000 baht. The land office wont recognize "gifting", anytime a property changes ownership, that is a sale and fees/taxes are due.
  12. The full amount would still need to be remitted. Otherwise everyone would simply call any purchase a gift and avoid the requirements. The land office would see it as a normal transaction and still want to see foreign funds, and they would still charge transfer fees taxes etc.
  13. The normal requirements still apply, to buy a condo in foreign quota, the equivalent money has to come from outside Thailand. The foreigner can use any money that has been bought into Thailand to obtain an fet to show the bank. (money to buy a car etc)
  14. I would start with a visit to the condo office as there may be specific requirements, permission for any additions to the outside of a condo block. A good chance they can probably also recommend a supplier
  15. To answer your original question. You cant just spin off the house ownership from an existing land with a house on it. Houses don't have a separate title deed, or any title deed. The only way you can own a house is if you build the house hand have the receipts. It doesn't mean much as its still a structure on someone else's land, it cant be bought or sold without the land title.
  16. you can top up at 7/11. online, at some ATMs and online banking apps, at true shops that are in most malls. Or put the true app on the phone and use that.
  17. What do you mean by "I told the bank not to pay out". You were expecting these transactions before they happened ? Are the withdrawals from an ATM ? How did they get your PIN? If your card has been skimmed and and you inform the bank, then you will be reimbursed. Credit cards or debit cards are no different when it comes to an unauthorized transaction.
  18. How could you possibly know they are drug addicts and using cannabis ? And how could immigration possibly know someone has a drug problem ? Cannabis tends to make people very chilled out and not aggressive.
  19. The foreigners immigration status has nothing to do with buying, there is no requirement that the foreigner entered Thailand using their foreign passport, or has a current visa etc. You can literally be outside Thailand and complete a purchase using a POA.
  20. You could have mentioned that fact initially. If she has foreign citizenship, then yes she can buy in the foreign quota.
  21. She is Thai, of course she cant buy in the foreign quota. I cant believe you are even asking the question. If Thais can buy up all the foreign quota, then its no longer the foreign quota.
  22. Yes, incorrect. A 30 day stay isn't a tourist visa, its a visa exempt stay. You can extend a visa or a visa exempt stay anywhere in Thailand, but you would usually do it at the immigration office local to your accommodation.
  23. Premium economy, where you pay extra for the basic facilities that should be included with any ticket.
  24. I think you will find that has to do with cookies in your browser settings. If you, or security software, deny or delete cookies then the site cant remember things about you. People love blocking cookies from websites, but don't realize it reduces functionality.
  25. anyone staying long-term in Thailand needs to check-in with immigration every 90 days (can be done online)
