The rule is that each beneficiary can receive up to 100 million baht from each testator before inheritance tax would be levied at a rate of 10 per cent (5 per cent for parents or children). So unless your net worth exceeds 200 million baht multiplied by the amount of beneficiaries at the time of your deaths then you won't have to worry.

It can be replaced, but not so easily or quickly. First you need to get a police report. Take the police report to the Land Office with your passport (or Thai ID card for a Thai citizen) and a copy or photo of the title deed if you have one. Follow the Land Office's instructions. Do let us know how you get on as this topic will be helpful for other members in the future.

Just to point out that the managing director of Integrity Legal mentioned above is a licensed American attorney. That being said legal work in Thailand and in the US is not cheap and someone will need to pay for it, probably in advance.

Whereabouts would you like to get your extension? It's no good someone recommending an agent in Bangkok if you want an extension in Pattaya.

Whereabouts are you in Thailand?

OP: Don't forget to change trains at Bts Siam.

The ceiling for declaring foreign currecy coming into Thailand used to be USD20k, however the Bank of Thailand quietly reduced the ceiling to USD15k a few years ago. Section 2, Paragraph 8.2 Click Here

Super Rich have cash counting machines that are visible by the customer. The teller will put your Thai Baht into the machine. The machine will count your cash and there will be a visible electronic counter for you to observe the machine's progress. You can then watch the teller's hands as they pass you the cash or put the cash in an envelope and pass it to you.

It would be better if you could state the hospital you will be attending for surgery. Bangkok is vast, so there is little point recommending an excellent condo the other side of the city to the hospital.

@ripstanley Please PM me the name of the person you are trying to ignore.

Fortunately all of those people, you included, have the ultimate solution. You can use this forum. Thank you for contributing and continuing to make aseannow.com the number 1 place to discuss Thailand immigration issues.

I would encourage you to take the matter up with immigration directly and explain to them how they can better correct themselves, either in terms of translation or else reworking the entire visa and extension system so that it accords with your understanding.

The explanation is that your visa cannot be reused to enter Thailand (unless it is a multiple entry visa), however you are permitted to stay in Thailand for the time indicated on the ink stamp placed in your passport by the Thai immigration officer at your port of entry. A TM86/TM87 is used to when you apply to extend the initial length of stay you have been granted by the immigration officer.

The fine is 500 baht. If you want to you can take your ticket, make your own way to the police station (your car will remain clamped), wait in line at the police station, pay your 500 baht fine, make your own way back to the car, call the police officer to release your car, wait until the police officer is available and in your area and then go. That will be a minimum of half a day of your time and probably two taxi fares/win fares. Or you can pay an extra 200 baht to have the clamp removed then and there. The 200 baht is the payment for someone else to take the ticket to the police station and take care of your business.

The Land Office are not remotely interested in house books. You do not need to present them to sell property. There is no requirement from the land office to do anything at all with the house books. Normally the seller will not remove themselves from the house books before a sale, just in case the sale does not happen. There is nothing stopping the seller doing this in advance though if they so choose. This is a matter for the seller. They need to be proactive and find a house book to move into. Otherwise if they try and stay on the tabien baan of the house they have sold, they will eventually find themselves removed without their consent, and you can almost guarantee this will happen at an inconvenient time.

Why would that matter? The seller will in all likelihood be present on the day and can arrange everything for the other people in the house books. It's really not difficult and thousands of Thai people do this on a daily basis. Just check with the District Office what documents they need for the seller to act for the other people listed in the house books.

If the buyer doesn't have a 13 digit number to be entered into the yellow book then there is no need for them to attend the District Office. The seller and other people listed in the house books can attend the District Office to make the changes and then give the empty books back to the buyer.

The house registration is nothing to do with the Land Office. What usually happens is that immediately after the sale at the Land Office the buyer and seller proceed to the District Office and empty the Blue and Yellow books. At that point the seller needs to know which blue book they are moving into and have things in order. The same for the yellow book holder. If this process isn't done the seller and everyone else will remain in the blue/yellow books of the property that has been sold, however the new owner can apply to have everyone removed from the house books at any time.

The owner needs to enquire at the Land Office and get a replacement title deed. Without that she would just be storing up problems for the executor and the beneficiary. If the family is hostile she can always transfer the land to the intended recipient before she dies. A sale in this manner cannot be contested.
