digitalmarketingmanager Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 When selling a property abroad they can ask expats living in Thailand to supply proof you don't own a property in Thailand. (If you currently rent a condo for example) Is there a process anyone knows to get something that other countries would consider legitimate proof? Something with a government stamp.

Delight Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Why do non Thai authorities wish to have this proof? Logically the only answer that I can think of is for you to visit every land office in Thailand and for them to supply confirmation that they have no record of you. I suspect that this will very difficult to achieve Even then you can control a company which owns a property. Your request lacks credibility Maybe others can prove me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Does your government want the same document from Bolivia, Tahiti and Italy ? Why would a country be asking for proof you dont own a property somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The only thing I can see is a long term lease for proof since my guess is that the country asking for the proof is interested in your residency status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It is difficult, often impossible, to prove a negative. Prove God doesn't exist, prove you didn't father any children in Thailand, prove you are not thinking of a green unicorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure why the OP needs proof, but if it is the case that he needs to prove that he does not own a condo in Thailand, I would get a lawyer to sign a letter to that effect. Lawyers will sign anything for a fee.... As for inheritance tax, if the OP is domiciled in Thailand and inherited money from the UK, he would be taxed on that inheritance in the UK regardless of how long he had lived here. Other situations and countries I know not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sentence has several ambiguities. Where is "abroad?" Do you mean a property back in your home country or are you referring to Thailand as "abroad" or do you mean some country that is neither Thailand nor your home country? Who is "they" and are they asking because you live in Thailand specifically or Thailand simply as an example of any country that is not your home country? What difference would it make if you did or did not own a property in Thailand? Taxes? Inheritance issues? Anal retentive bureaucratic intrusiveness? How could "they" seriously expect someone to prove that he doesn't own any property anywhere in Thailand?

Gracas Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 If the OP means that he needs to show proof that he does not own a condo (or maybe other assets) in Thailand, or for that matter anywhere else other than his home country. I would agree with replies above, it would take a lot of work. You could make a Statutory Declaration to this affect. Also show a rental contract for your address. If you are getting divorced in your home country the wife's lawyer maybe looking for your assets to "rape and pillage". When I was getting divorced in Australia (working is Singapore at the time) my wife's lawyer came up with all sorts of fantasy. I hope this is NOT your problem. Good luck.

Enoon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 As has been pointed out it is not possible to "prove" that something doesn't exist. All the state power of Saddam Hussein failed to prove that there were no WMD in Iraq. Let us hope that "they" do not find it necessary to destroy you and your surrounding infrastructure in order to be convinced. (Maybe you could post the actual wording of the request that you have received from "them" and "their" identity, so that those who might be able to advise you do not have to deal with your confusing and obfuscatory misinterpretation of it?)

Old Croc Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 All you can really do is sign a statutory declaration stating you don't own properties elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bloggs Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Also it could be a tax consideration for some countrys(Australia being one), to prove it however I dont see an easy answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I wonder if a person could go to their embassy and make a declaration "I own no property in Thailand" & have it notarized similar to the "freedom to marry" declaration required here?
