Must stop doing this because all i seem to do is to hear conflicting stories....

This bloke told me that foreigners who want to buy property, have to set up a Thai company, but new regulations now state that the maximum shares allowed is now 39% - i'd heard it was 49%..

any ideas ??

Tommy

Was Talking To A Bloke In A Bar

Thats where you went wrong. Never believe anything anyone tells you in a bar, unless you actually know them.

99.9% of the time they are wrong in my experience.

For example, "You hansum man."

Good one sir.

Ask here. Do not listen too much to bar "experts".

So much experience on here.

It's been done before to set up a company to buy property. However, Thailand has become wise to this and the government or a court can invalidate any company set up solely to buy property. Not advisable.

So Wise one what is the correct way to start a buisiness and to have xxxx amount of partners and what percentage do you own ....

IN BAR MANS TALK PLEASE... And can you sleep at night after you've paid your money. Numbers of some good legal people would be of help..

IN BAR MANS TALK PLEASE...

Right, you've had enough. Haven't you got a home to go to?

Frequent as many bars as possible and see if there is a consensus.

OP,

The guy you talked to in the bar was correct, unless they changed the law in the meantime.

Was Talking To A Bloke In A Bar Earlier Today

and let me guess, he said he was ex-sas......don't worry we've all met him before

Or.... I'm from the embassy but I can't talk about that... Jeez I loved Vientiane.

The OP would seen to talk to a lot of people in a lot of bars...Here's another one of his "I heard it from....." posts.

Subsequently get chatting to bloke in a bar who informs me that i need to report to imigration office every 90 days, along with rental agreement showing my address and a bank statement showing i have enough money to live and they will extend by a further 90 days - ok i thought, that sounds easy....

Unfortunately a couple of days leter, talking to another bloke in another bar, who tells me that that's rubbish and i need to do a border run every 90 days...

So who's correct ?

If it's the latter - i'm totally confused !

OP,

The guy you talked to in the bar was correct, unless they changed the law in the meantime.

it varies and depends on the land office. when i set up (5 years ago) the company 51/49 i was told by the land office that in order to buy land the ratio should be 61/39, so we changed the share holdings. presently my local land office does not approve of any land purchase unless Thais hold 100% of the shares. that there are ways to solve that problem goes without saying. after all... This Is Thailand !

Best way to solve this "problem" : Don't buy land in Thailand. Quite obviously the Thai government doesn't want foreigners buying or controlling it. How much more of a hint do people need? Buy where your business is wanted.

A lot of the time these booze boys assume you're married and on a non-imm 'o' retirement visa which may not necessarily be the case...

It is true there is a lot of good information for these type of topics here, just keep away from the news forum where most of the whackos like that bar fly seem to hang out.

everything i know i learned from blokes in bars

You should only take advice from a bloke in a bar if he is wearing a dress.

I agree with Winnie 100%, best to buy in your g/f or wifes name if you lose it at least you know who to :-)

And when you get divorced you do not need a lawyer to arrange a settlement. I like it, cuts out the middle man

Yes, but then it's likely to be Jenny Star Bar and then you'll be talking to some very senior ThaiVisa board members.

So the info will be one million porsen correct.

I told you to stop talking about me.

Oi, you keep that up and I'll never buy you a drink. Now back to the subject, where can I talk to a man in a bar in my current location?

Years ago I use to spend time over a few beers chatting with one of the so-called mafia bosses up there, he was a bit of a character but I dont recall seeing any men sitting around for a chat.

Now if you were asking me for a location to find some eye candy, that would be different .

I really wish I was there
