So my wife and i have separated and I don't live in Thailand anymore.

She wants to buy a house in Bkk but they want me to sign that statement that it is her money etc..

 

Is there any solution other than me flying to Bangkok to sign it?

Speak to a lawyer. One foreign lawyer who runs a law firm in Thailand (using Thai lawyers) told me a long time ago that the law requiring you to state that the money belongs to your wife and you won't make any claim on it in future was deemed illegal long ago.

 

I didn't ask for detail at the time but I'd take a guess that its because of clashes with the rules on marital assets (Sin Somros) and assets held before marriage (Sin Suan Tua). Not sure, could be some other reason but he said the rule was illegal although he was aware of some official departments still asking for such declarations.

I think you can have documents such as this signed and notarized at a Thai consulate for a fee. My wife is having three documents signed that her lawyer emailed her to sign for a fee of $15 per signature page at the Thai consulate in Washington DC. The consulate will stamp the documents. I don't know how my wife intends to submit the signed and stamped documents yet.

Is it really her money or is it yours? If it is hers, you can probably go to a Thai consulate near you in your country and sign it right there and then in front of them. If it is your money, then I wouldn't sign it because you'll never see that money again, since you've signed a waiver.

If you're separated, why do you want to help her?

Yes ... certainly very sad 

Perhaps you should attend marriage counselling

Not everyone has a bad relationship with their excessive

 

Being nice doesn't hurt, or?
