Just curious. Q Does the Chonburi Land Office grant permission to Thai Companies (foreigner Controlled )to register the following into such Thai Companies? A Condominium Apartments. B Land -i.e. Houses. Are there any restrictions on such registrations?

As I understand it -immigration need to see evidence of 800000 Baht in the bank. They do not specify how the money ended up in Thailand. It just has to be there. Monthly money is different. The applicant has to prove it comes from outside Thailand-every month 65000 Baht. If you use the SWIFT system -that is in itself is evidence enough. Using Wise means you have to select -Long term stay in Thailand-option on the dropdown.

In the condo building the walls-between apartments- are as follows: My side 10cm Their side 10cm Air gap in between 10cm. This design does a reasonable -but not perfect job

Why not simply open another account based on your home country You will need credit card registered in your home country. I have such an account -my registered address with both Ebay and Paypal is my Thai address

As far as I can remember the measurement between 2 buildings is one meter on either side of the boundary line. 2 meters if the walls have windows in them.

The condo is hers-plain and simple. She will have to provide letters from the Juristic Manager to detail : 1) The ratios of Foreign/Thai ownership. They need to be in order .Max 49% foreign 2) That the condo is debt free. The land office will not do the transfer without these documents.

You will have to organize probate in the UK for UK assets. Whatever his Will states -then that will happen. You just need a UK probate lawyer -plus the Will and the death certificate. Maybe more. As far as Thailand is concerned -then again probate is required. The Thai probate department will -I suspect -decide that his Thai wife gets the lot. You state that you are happy with this arrangement. For her to pursue probate in Thailand -then I suspect -that a 2nd original death certificate is required. Suggest that you select a UK based Probate Lawyer-ASAP. That person could advise you on this possibility. For certain a UK death certificate -with an official translation is essential. Suggest that you speak to a Thai Consulate for advice on the official translation point. Without this death certificate and official translation -then his wife will end up empty handed. That is very bad situation.

I suspect -inline with a Thai companies controlled by a foreigner -you will own -in your case 48% of the shares and 100% of the voting rights. It is the latter that counts. If that were not the case then the other 2 Thai shareholders could out vote you with their combined 52 % of the shares. Can you will voting rights to another? I have no idea. Specialized help is required by you. You need to know. The regular way is for the transfer of your 48% and your 100% to a foreign family member. Very easy and very cheap. If you wish to be certain that your Thai friend has control -then transfer the house to him . Very simple -can be expensive. Then close down the Thai company-expensive. Given that your Thai friend has no involvement with the company -then probably you could ignore the ' close down the Thai company' part-maybe.

Did you receive a 'reminder' from immigration? Have you prior received a 'reminder' ?

The only hope for the UK economy is an export boom Maybe this sterling devaluation was engineered to create this opportunity. Very Risky.

Suspect that the UK government wants this general devaluation-in the hope that it produces and export boom. Risky strategy

I can see that a property overseas(i.e.land) can be integrated into an overseas company-i.e this assumes that the company is registered in the same country as the land of the property. I cannot see that 2 countries can be involved. As a matter of interest-which overseas country are you referring to?

The Chinese Government pay the shipping charges from China to Bangkok Airport Some while ago I purchased 4 off special RF transmitters from the Chinese factory direct. Each transmitter was $4 . Shipping $24. No help from Chinese Government for me. The Power of Lazada is illustrated in the OP's example

The simple way is just to specify that your Thai assets go to your spouse. Your spouse needs to be the administrator. If you have a condo in your name-then ensure that your spouse (as the administrator) does not transfer to your spouse as beneficiary. This way the condo is never in a Thai name-thus much easier to sell at some later date. The condo can remain in the administers name -until it is time to sell.
