Confirmation regarding not owning real estate in Thailand

[XGM]

I intend to sell a house in my home country. There is a significant tax break applied in case the seller does not own additional real estate apart from the unit sold.

Since I am not legally considered a resident in my home country anymore (this status is being revoked automatically after a certain number of years living abroad, although citizenship remains of course), I need to provide some legal document from Thai authorities stating that I do not own any real estate in Thailand.

 

How can that be done?

IMHO it can't be done to prove negative, just like proving you have a sister, and if you can get proof in Thailand they may ask you to provided proofs you don't own property in other countries around the glob, the anus is on the to prov that YOU DO own a property and not the opposite...

I tend to agree, although you do get a "negative" statement in other areas (from the police for example regarding lack of criminal record).

 

For real estate it's obviously harder, especially since AFAIK real estate registration in Thailand is managed on the Ampeurs level. Does one need to get a no-properties statement from each Ampeur in Thailand...?

 

Still, the requirement is there and perhaps there is a way. I do have a Thai tax ID that was used at the time I was working here (with a work permit). Perhaps there is a way to confirm that the person with this tax ID was not involved in any real estate purchase?

You could try making a statutory declaration at your embassy. You write it, they witness it and confirm that you swear it's true.

Show them the lease contract(s) of the place where you are staying and used to stay in the past combined with the declaration as mentioned above by YT3k72Em.

You may get better advice if you mention what country, your from. Perhaps the tax code can be interpreted differently or by using a tax professional. 

 

In Australia you can sell your personal residence up to 7 years after you've moved out without any tax implications. After that you will be taxed some capital gains.

If the country in question knew Thai Law, they would know it is not possible.

A company that you can control, yes but not the same as not in your name

In Thai law, a foreigner cannot legally 'control' the company that owns the land.

Foreigners are forbidden to own land in Thailand.

Do you have a link to that law please?
