Change of company address

[Na Fan]

Hi all

 

We've prepped all the piles of paperwork to change a company's address (within the same province). We're moving to a rented place.

 

Now the revenue department had the idea of also requesting the title deed of the land (neither us or the company have bought the land). Obviously, the owner of the land doesn't give this out stating it's too dangerous - which  I can understand.

 

When we originally registered the company (3 years ago) nobody asked for the title deed. 

 

 

Has anyone done this? Did they just have a bad day again and want to screw with us?

Can the land office also confirm who the owner of a certain chunk of land at a given address is? 

 

Is that public knowledge in Thailand?

They will accept a copy. If the owner won't provide a copy then you (or anyone) can get a copy from the land office.

 

Get a director to sign it as a true copy and add the company stamp.

Yes they can, and they will. Our company does this often. You have to go to the relevant land office. They have large format maps of the entire district. Tell them the nearest road intersection and they will get the relevant page for you. You then have to get the specific title number from the large format map.

 

One you have that number, fill in a research form (all in Thai). Get a ticket and wait your turn. The land office will provide you with a copy of the entire chanote and also a print out from the computerised registry.

 

I don't know what the official fee is, but we end up paying 200-300 baht a time (for central Bangkok). The real price is undoubtedly cheaper but who wants to wait until last in the queue?

Tremendously helpful - thank you!

Sigh..... i guess, as usual, every office has different rules/interpretations.
I wanted a copy of the land title to the lot next door, at Nakohn Si Thammarat Land office.

''Sorry - cannot''.

another disadvantage to forgetting to marry a Thai wife

Sorry, i should have rephrased that:

where can I find a list of the paperwork needed to change a Thai company's registered office address?

You don't have staff ?

[Na Fan]

Just sent somebody to the land office and here's what we've been told:

 

- We can't find the number of the chanote, you need to ask the owner for that

- If you try to get the paper without the owner's permission, you'll go to jail.

Contact the DBD in the district you want to change to. Requirements can vary,

Why would you want to know the number of the chanote? What you want to find is the number of the plot. You get that from the large format maps. Once you have the plot number, you complete a research form and get the relevant details.

 

Here is what the large format map will look like (this is just a small section).

 

Ignore the colour markings - they were added afterwards.

very useful couple of posts thanks. I do have a copy of the land subdivision we live in (nothing else has been built here). so will try again. I'm a retiring type - so no staff.

Can I ask which province you live in? Mine is a Phuket registered company and I am not sure where I go to, to get the necessary forms to change my registered address. Possibly the Commercial Department?

[blackcab]

 

You go to the DBD. The Department of Business Development. There is a branch in Phuket, but I don't know where. 

 

You can call 1570 and have a chat with the DBD call centre.
