Thanks

My B visa has expired about 1 month ago and my stamp is until the 22nd of March. I assume you can't extend the stamp but can I do a visa run and obtain a 30 day stamp???

Have had 1.5 years here on the Work permit/non B which expires on the 22nd, can I get a 30 visa on arrival??? Anyone?

(Getting Non O marraige visa in May so don't want to have to get new business visa)

To sum up the market in Phuket I would say there is less supply with fewer projects and less demand as well.If you have a good property, well priced it will sell. There are still buyers coming here.

(BTW I am not an agent I am a developer)

Does anyone know, can you use your Thai ATM card , withdraw money abroad and use the offshore rate for conversion????

We sold house in March when it was half finished. We will sell another one in October. Our freinds who are developers are achievig sales so long as the price is realistic..

Right now if you use the Offshore rate for conversion instead of the onshore rate you end up with almost 10% more money ...

Is there anyway to transfer money out of the country and convert it there anyone can think of????

Anything considered up to 150,000THB. Just has to be reliable and not to rusty or dented.

I think the problem with using the leasing route is that the owner can sell your land and then you would have dificulty renewing the lease.

The problem with the usufruct would be if the person who's name it is in dies you would be left with nothing.

Can the usufruct be put in 2 or more names? Do you need the land owners consent to renew/start a new lease? I there any other way to extend the timeframe out past the death of the person who owns the usufruct?

Do you know if I can use this in Phuket? Also, can Sunbeltasia set one up in Phuket from Bangkok or do I need to get a local lawyer to deal with it?

Thanks alot

On some other websites I've read that it's only valid for 30 years. Is there a risk of it becoming invalid after 30 years? Does it have to be renewed and can the owner of the land contest the renewal?

Usufruct interest: This type of agreement grants you temporary ownership rights on the property. In practice, a usufruct is limited to a 30-year maximum period, but can be successively renewed. The usufruct can be sold or transferred, but it expires upon the death of the holder, so cannot be inherited.

Usufruct Interest called in Thai that "Sidthi-kep-kin" , this right gives you temporary ownership rights to things on or arising from the land. In practice, a usufruct is limited to a 30 year maximum period; like leases, the agreement can be successively renewed. In contrast to a lease, a usufructury interest can be sold or transferred, although it expires upon the death of the holder of the usufruct and therefore cannot be inherited

Another method is Usufruct Interest (sidhi-kep-kin) that gives you temporary ownership rights to things on the Thai land. In practice, a Usufruct is limited to a 30-year maximum period; like leases, the agreement can be successively renewed.
