It is not a question of trust, but of procedures. Searching for these procedures I found this article that indicates: A Foreign Exchange Transaction Certificate (Thor Thor Sam) is a legal document issued by banks upon receipt of foreign currency into your bank account in Thailand. You can ask for this certificate from your bank when you are remitting funds to Thailand for purchasing a condominium unit. It is Thailand government’s condition that the money used to pay for the purchase price must originate from an offshore source in the form of foreign currency. The foreigner has to present this certificate to the Land Office where the ownership registration shall take place. Otherwise, foreigners cannot register the property under their name. so i thought the account must be in my name

DO NOT DO THIS. Don't worry, the idea never crossed my mind

Save the frogs, Visa is not a problem, besides being over 50, I am also married to a Thai. We will not retire to Thailand for another four years, and with the increasing prices of the real estate market I was thinking of buying a condo before moving.

I diden't decide yet, but I am thinking about Hua Hin area

Hi everyone, I did a try use search option but I didn't find an answer to my question. in view of a future transfer to Thailand, I am evaluating the purchase of a condo. Searching for information in this regard, I understood that I have to transfer the money from my country to a Thai bank. The problem is that I do not have a Thai bank and it seems that it is not possible to open an account with only a tourist visa. Do you have any advice on how to proceed? Best regards
