This was at a owners meeting of a condo block in Chiang Mai and has also been posted in CM forum

At yesterdays meeting of owners at Riverside condominium an official from immigration stated that forang who owned more than 1 condo or if they rented their condo out who did not have a work permit were bearing the law and would be subject to arrest. He added that any owner must report all forang living in their condo to immigration and failure to do so would result in a large fine.

This is first time I believe this has happened in any condo block and seemed to be aimed at forang who had more than one condo . So it seems if you occupy a single condo there is no problem at all and probably if you do not let out again their seems to be no problem.

The immigration officer also said tax was payable on any rent received but did not add to that statement.

It would seem an easy matter if they wanted to simply check at the land office or even at condo office to see which forang had more than one condo and also to check if someone else was living in the condo.
