Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions international clients ask us most.
Can foreigners own property in Thailand?
Foreigners cannot own land outright in Thailand, but can own a condominium unit (up to 49% of the building), hold a long-term lease (up to 30 years), or use a Thai company structure. We can advise on the best approach for your situation.
I'm going through a divorce with a Thai spouse. What are my rights?
Thai law applies to divorces registered in Thailand. Assets acquired during the marriage are generally split equally. Child custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child, not nationality. We represent both Thai and foreign spouses.
I was arrested or questioned by police in Thailand. What should I do?
You have the right to legal representation from the moment of arrest. Do not sign any documents without a lawyer present. Contact us immediately — we can attend the police station with you or advise you by phone.
How do I set up a business in Thailand as a foreigner?
Most businesses require a Thai majority shareholder under the Foreign Business Act. However, BOI-promoted businesses and certain structures allow full foreign ownership. We handle company registration, shareholder agreements, and BOI applications.
Do you offer video consultations for clients outside Hat Yai?
Yes. We offer video consultations via Zoom, Google Meet, or WhatsApp for clients anywhere in Thailand or abroad. Contact us to schedule an appointment at your convenience.
How much does a consultation cost?
We provide a transparent fee structure based on the complexity of your case. Initial consultations are available — contact us via WhatsApp or email and we'll explain all costs clearly before you commit to anything.
