ORIGINAL POSTER

Good afternoon All,

I have to little question with reference to forming a Thai Company to transfer ownership of my house to me after my wife and I seperate.....

Before I go any further, if anybody thinks this is the incorrect forum for this question, please say now...

My question is too do the news reports that the government are cracking down on Thai nominated shareholders companies. What exactly are they investigating, is the company itself or the shareholders of the company that are being interrogated?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about government investigations into companies with Thai nominated shareholders, particularly regarding transferring ownership of property after a separation. Commenters suggest that active companies must pay taxes and that forming a company may still leave the user as a minority shareholder. They also recommend a usefruct as a simpler legal option for property ownership.

a Company needs to be active and pay taxes. Every share holder needs to bring in the money to pay for their shares. a Lawyer will put that all in paper and in the end of the story you still are the minority in shares of the house. There are way better legal options to stay the rest of your life in that house, make a usefruct, cost max 2.000 Thb and easy to do. As this all has nothing to do with Thai Visa advice, I close the commenting. a lawyer or a good real estate company can help you out with more details.
