To the actual question — yes, firms will still set companies up, but the smart money has stopped, and the more useful thing to plan is your exit, since you already own one. On the panic: I'd agree with the earlier post that a single-property owner with a genuinely run company isn't where the attention is right now. The vulnerable structures are the paper-only ones — Thai "shareholders" who put in no capital, no real filings, no activity. So step one, whatever you decide, is make the company boringly legitimate on paper now: real annual accounts filed, AGM minutes, shareholders who can actually be shown to have contributed. A defensible company buys you time to restructure calmly instead of under a raid. Realistic exit routes for an existing company-owned house: Sell the company (share transfer). Fastest paperwork, but you're handing the next foreigner the same problem — the buyer pool is shrinking and they'll expect a discount for the risk. This is the route that's getting harder to move. Sell the land + house freehold to a Thai buyer. Cleanest, widest market. You take the "foreigner sells low" hit, but it's a clean break and it actually closes. Restructure to leasehold. Wind the company down and have the landowner grant you a registered 30-year lease plus a right of superficies over the house, so you legally own the building and hold a registered lease on the land. Costs money and legal work, but it converts a fragile structure into two real, registrable rights. Usufruct via a partner — as you say, it's personal security of use, not ownership, and it evaporates without a partner. Fine as a supplement, not a solution. On geography — the earlier point about Phuket/Pattaya/Samui getting more scrutiny than Bangkok/Hua Hin matches what I see. Practical upshot for selling: in the hotspots a clean freehold-to-Thai or a properly-registered leasehold will move far faster than trying to pass on a nominee company. Get your own lawyer (not the one who sold you the structure) to map the restructure before you're forced to.
