3 minuter sedan, skrev Scandinaviancorner:Ingen utlänning får köpa mark här..Hört snack om att det innan var endast Amerikanre som fick köpa en rai för att bygga eget hus på om han investerade minst fyrahundra miljoner i landet
Så du går på "hört snack" hellre än att lära dig lagar och regler i det land du bor och verkar i som företagare ?
Testa istället att läsa lagarna om landägande i Thailand:
2. Can I own a house and land in Thailand?
Ownership of land is governed by the Land Code BE 2497 (1954), the Civil and Commercial Code, Land Re-form for Agriculture Act BE 2518 (1975) and the regulations set forth by the Ministry of the Interior.
You are able to own a house or a structure in your own name, but the Thai Law prohibits foreigners from owning the land the building is erected on.
However there are a number of ways in which you can invest in land and control any dealings with this land. Under some very restrictive condition you may even own land.:
- Become a Thai citizen
- Be the principal investor in a export orientated Board of Investment (BOI) approved company. The current maximum size limit of freehold ownership rights is one rai of land (1'600 sq m).
- Make an approved investment of over 40 million Baht left for a (to be fixed) minimum number of years. The current maximum size limit of freehold ownership rights is one RAI of land (1'600 sq m).

Invest in a Thai private Limited Company. This involves the incorporation or the buying of a private Limited Company of which the foreigner can hold up to 49% of the shares. The remaining 51% of the shares must be held by Thai nationals.
In practice, this method is the most commonly used by foreigners, to invest in a Thai private Limited Company which owns or intends to acquire land. The Articles of Association can be worded to allow the foreign minority shareholder effective control over any dealings with land despite the majority Thai owner ship required under the Thai Alien Business Law. By doing this, the foreigner still is not the legal owner of the land, but his investment is fully protected and therefore safe.
Thai law requires that 51% of the shares are held by Thai natural persons. However, any company with more than 40% of foreign interest that purchases land may be investigated by the Central Land Office in Bangkok (under Section 74 of the Land Code) to ensure that the company has not been organized in an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against foreign ownership of land. This results in the foreign ownership of the company kept at 39% only. With the above changes to the Articles of Association, the foreigner can be the only director of the company. He is therefore the only officer of the company who can legally commit or bind the company. This gives the minority shareholder the effective control over the company. The company is required to submit an annual balance sheet and there will be a very modest tax obligation. Many law- and accounting offices will take over this task at a relative small fee. -
Lease the land for 30 years in your name
This is done by registering a 30 year lease contract (residential) to the foreigner in the foreigner`s own name. There is also the possibility of a prepaid option to contractually renew the lease for further periods of twice 30 years. The foreigner may also receive the option to purchase the land should the law in Thailand respect of foreigner`s land ownership rights will change. Under Thai law, the foreigner is the owner of any structure (for example a house) which he has erected on the land. To make this legally binding, a lease for a period of over three years has to be registered. This involves payment of a registration fee and stamp duty based on a percentage of the rental fee for the whole lease term. Such a registered lease remains in force even if the property is sold.
