properperson Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 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 ??

Jimjim Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 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.

Maejo Man Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naam Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 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.

PhilHarries Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 You should only take advice from a bloke in a bar if he is wearing a dress. 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.

neverdie Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
