ubonjoe Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The law preventing Thai's married to foreigners from buying land or property was revoked when the 1997 constitution went into effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 She can buy land with no restrictions at all. The only thing is that if the marriage is registered in Thailand she might have to get her husband to sign a piece of paper at the land office acknowledging the property is hers.

Phuketboy Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 She is Thai, why wouldn't she be able to buy land in Thailand? She can buy whatever she wants in HER name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4MyEgo Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Wife has dual passports i.e. Thai and Australia, she owns about 5 land parcels in the village, never had an issue in the 10 years we have been together, also I have never had to sign off on anything, might have to do with us having a village wedding and not one in an official registry, although the main town government office where she did the blue book has recognised us as being married in the village & Australia, whatever that means ?

apetryxx Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Wife has Thai & US passports - not a problem. I'm even registered as a co-owner on one property with rights of survivorship with restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she gave up her Thai citizenship to be an Australian citizen then she would lose her rights In Thailand as well as buying land. She would need dual passports to retain both countries of residence.

Bogbrush Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I knew an Aussie guy - wanted to build, but needed a Thai front for the land. Mate of his in Oz was married to a Thai girl and she said 'no problem - I'll help you out.' And it was no problem, until after x number of years she split with her husband and returned to LOS. I'll let you guess the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Yeah.... The document you sign at the Land Office. It's all in Thai. It doesn't ask about the marriage being official. It states that the money used is hers. Anyone who has been told this should get the paper you signed translated. But, then again you don't have a copy eh?

The Fat Controller Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The doc I signed in Ubon had an English translation below the Thai text, did not ask for a copy, pretty pointless as I cannot own the land anyway ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes things in life have a double meaning and you read the meaning according to your mental frame of mind at the time. You really should closely exam what your doing before walking through the doorway. After the door slams shut it could be locked from the other side.

I am both an Australian and UK citizen. My daughter has both Thai and Australian (she could of had Thai and UK if she wanted) and my wife is in the middle of getting her Australian which will give her both as well (she also could have gone the other way and got her UK citizenship). You would be crazy to give up the citizenship of your birth country. Edited January 22, 2017 by Phuketboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she keeps dual citizenship or only Thai citizenship she can buy land in Thailand. If she however becomes an Australian citizen and denounce her Thai citizenship she becomes a foreigner in the eye of the law and cant buy land. A marriage dont influence her citizenship and thus her right to own land. In your case your wifes next passport will be in her married name, because when she apply they will ask for her ID card which will be in her married name.

Well she has bought 3 small plots of farmland over the years after she gained Australian citizenship, don't ask me how but she did. Maybe she bought it in her father or sisters names I do not know. I do know she bought them after gaining Australian citizenship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petejjj Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 ..yes no problems. I'm from Australia and wife is now an Australian citizen and has retained her thai passport and ID Card. we have a plot and house and it is all in her name. I had to sign a disclaimer to say funds aren't provided by me and I waiver all rights to the place.Tambian ban - register house is in her name and she has to report me (alien) staying in her house that I paid for each time we visit. All good and works ok. Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she would hold the house/land she have to pay you out at the market price. But only with a real registered marriage!!!

ericthai Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The paper you sign is confirming the money for the land is not from you and that you understand that you have no legal ownership in the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely untrue. As already said, the document you sign at the land office is not worth the paper it's written on. Not accepted in any court of the land. Marital laws on property, i.e. sin som ros , is the relevant law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadget monger Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 WARNING! Your Thai lady will buy land in her name with your money, you as a Farang cannot buy land. When she had enough of you, she would kick you off her land and there is nothing you can do about it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
