alj6700 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have a house in Chiang Mai and currently renting it out to a European lady ,she has contacted me say that she plans on opening a buisness in Chiang mai and she has asked me if i can send here a copy of our blue book and my Thai wife's Id as she needs this to set up the business. I am just a bit concerned about her request as she may try and do something that is not legal ,,,ie sell my house or take out a loan or something like that for her benefit . Any need for concern ??

keestha Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Ask her for more detailed information. She probably needs a confirmation from the landlady (your wife) that she is staying there. If you give her the ID card and tabbian ban (house registration book) copies, on those copies should be written that they are given for this purpose only. It sounds a bit like this lady doesn't know herself exactly what documentation she needs. Edited May 10, 2014 by keestha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) A European lady selling your house (the house is in your name?) with just using copies of blue book and ID card of your wife? No original documents, no original signatures? No way. Obviously the house is not in your name and she needs proof about the house master (your wife?). I thinks is acceptable to ask her what business she plans to start and how it is related to (using?) the house!

Popular Post Thaiberius Posted May 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2014 Not selling the house Benq, identity theft, borrowing money, betting loans, guarantor - the list is endless.

alj6700 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks for your thoughts ,you never can tell what would happen if the wrong documents fall into the wrong hands . I can just picture it ,I come back to CM and the house has been knocked down and a 7eleven has popped up on my land,,, Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good; i know of a similar case where the person blanked out the added words on the bottom and just copied it again, so blank where it mattered. OP; you are not in control ( or your wife isn't ) if you are not here, so the answer must be NO ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgphuket Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 She would need these documents if she wanted to use your house as the location for the business, however, if she does this, the taxes on your house will increase quite a bit. Does the lease state that the house is not to be used for commercial purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim armstrong Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 How many more No's do you need. This is someone who is trying to use you.She is your tenant not your business partner, keep well away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeby Luva Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) i am guessing it is needed for proof of her address. ask her to send you the documents (fax) that state she needs it. i had to supply similar to immig for a different visa. i gave the docs to the land lord and he sorted it all himself and gave them to immig himself. .so i never saw his docs. i was pleased to have it done like this. he then gave me a confirm doc from immig and i took that back to them if she is legit you are going to lose a tenant. she will find some else who can do it.

Beetlejuice Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 My house is in Moo ban Palm Springs ,mahidol rd. I am currently in Canada Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Are you the legal owner of the house and do you have a permit to run a property renting business? Most do not and somehow doubt you are an exception to the rule. My 2 golden rules as an ex-pat living in Thailand: stay within the boundaries of Thai law at all times and never get involved. Whatever you decide, you do so at your own risk and discretion, but my advice is, stay well behind the scenes like most of them do and instruct the person who`s name is fronting the property ownership and the renting company, to refuse the tenants requests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somchaismith Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sounds like a legit request to me. I can imagine if some of scam buster posters here, on this thread, had the same request to their landords and were declined, they would , be the first ones to rerun to Thaivisa and start athread calling the landlord all the pricks under the sun.wanting to file a police report and get lawyers involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 You should ask for a letter from her/his lawyer/solicitor pointing out the need for the request and guarantees from HIM it is just for her/his residential purposes, and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) you know on every copy of any document you state the reason over it in Thai. Like: "This copy is for opening a business only". Of course you ask who needs it and why and write this details on it as well. Very big over it.......Of course it can be removed.....but better than nothing. And date, of course Edited May 11, 2014 by h90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee99 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If she is allowed to run a business . Lets say your renting a shop house this is a 100% legitimate request. I have to assume all the NOs have not been in the renters situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherstuff1957 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) When I was selling a motorcycle, I had to get my landlady to go the local police station and sign a copy of her tabian baan and ID along with a form verifying that I lived in the townhouse that I was renting from her. So, I would not be surprised to see a similar request for someone opening a business. However, as others have pointed out, I would not want a tenant opening up a business in a property that I was renting to them. If she is intending to operate the business on your premises, I would not agree. If she will be operating the business elsewhere and simply needs to verify her personal address, you might tell her to have the relevant office in Thailand talk to your wife and discuss how to give her the paperwork she needs while limiting your liability and risk.

maanoi Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I would be hesitant and need more information. It's likely a legitamate request. These documents are needed when running a company from home. (I have been in this spot before). Check with her to find out exactly what shea doing.

LennyW Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 What a load of BS answers. From the OP's post the lady intends to open a business in Chiang Mai - he never said in (his) the OP's house. In order to do that she will need proof of her residence, ie: a copy of the blue book authenticated by the owner, ie; your girlfriends ID card. On the copies just make it noted, in Thai, that the purpose of these copies is to warrant where she currently stays - nothing else. I often wonder how some people can survive here with their rampant theory that everybody is out to get them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
