Does owning property in Thailand for several years indicate strong ties to the country?

I was a foot ware manufacturer with a BOI company for ten years and could not own more then 49% of the company. We employed at minimum 168 Thais.

I could not own “ my house”. It was in the name of my business partner. I could have owned the house but not the land but didn’t need the additional aggravation.

Absolutely not in the sense of your treatment by Immigration or courts. It might have some sociological value though. Does this term even exist in Thai juridical or Immigration system?

Is Vietnam better does anyone know? This is an insecure place long term as rules and regulations change like the weather

Rather than write pages..

NO 😲

I have had many sexual relations ships here does that help

No. Considering that you went through the trouble to make a profile just to ask this question what is the legal battle your contemplating ?

That battle will be lost.

This question constantly comes up. Why bother with the nonsense when you can just rent someplace and be done with it.

If the visas are too much of a hassle just stay a couple of months then go and explore a new or neighboring country or a bit of time and continue on. The nightmares of bad lawyers, terrible wife’s and in-laws looking at you as a ATM those are the common stories along with lack legal protection constantly changing laws that can go retro active. This is not just a issue in Thailand most of the country’s laws are crazy nationalistic like that. Rent don’t buy the truth is only a handful are allowed to really participate in making proper money

‘Strong ties’ is a subjective notion. One may well feel that their ‘commitment’ to the country (I’ve been here 16 years) deserves recognition, but the reality is that the time you have lived in Thailand, the millions of baht you may have spent, the families you may have formed and supported, and the properties you think you own give you absolutely no ‘rights’ here whatsoever...

nope, any more questions?

Nothing is permanent for foreigners..laws can change at the drop of a hat..you are a guest that's it

You are a serial number matching your passport, you can be cancelled as easily as it can be

You should ask, what ties does Thailand have to you? You know the answer.
