What types of visas can I apply for if I want to invest in a stalled property project in Chiang Mai?

Record every minute of every meeting on video.

My concerns as farang married for 50+ years, make sure you have registered mortgages going forward. Always have a 3rd party interpreter at any business dealings, make sure all relevant permits are in place, right down to the local village headman. Check for outstanding loans, both registered and not.

Thanks for the update.

Rings a bell.

All I can say is I wish I had your balls 🙂 and Lawyer up your going to need one.

Would love to see pictures of the project... doesn't answer your question, but I'm curious.

You are taking on such a large project & you don't even know what visa you require. Ever heard of lawyers?

I recently explored around a stalled project along the Chiang Rai road on the hot springs area. It was intended to be in the Khmer or Cambodian style and even though abandoned for a long time, still has strong foundations to continue on. Notwithstanding the anomalous style in Lanna cultural country, it seemed a shame that it didn't get finished and if finished well could definitely be a very good project.

I have no advice to offer and I'm only making an outsider's comment, but if this was to be your project AND if you were able to enlist the help of an honest lawyer, and if the project was allowed, I would say good luck and go for it! Looked like a very good concept from a casual observation. It's certainly in a very good position 😊

Hey.. my friend is a lawyer. He speaks perfect English. His dad owns a few hotels in Bangkok. DM me if you want his details. Solid guy, very trustworthy

Marry her if she’s Thai. Stop dragging your foot

You better make sure that property is free and clear of any obligations, such as taxes, outstanding loans or liens.

I find this topic interesting. Understand that you're looking for positive advice and direction. That being said my advice will appear to be negative but is actually offered in a positive viewpoint. And that is not to sink any money into this at all. If you'd like to talk about it you can certainly send me a private message

First time doing business in Thailand I see. Best to fill it with concrete and build something new. Almost certainly will cost you more to try to fix the skeleton

Ancient wisdom. When you’re in a hole, stop digging.

, I’d strongly advise you to take proper legal advice from a Thailand lawyer specialising in such a matter. Good luck.

Mate, get a property lawyer and he’ll walk you through it.

The housing development that encroached on doi Suthep national forest and was ordered stopped by the supreme court?

personally i think you would be crazy to move fwd without legal representation - allot of things you are not aware of and they would be. You, and likely I, would be taken advantage of... so it's probably worth the sit down for 1 hr to discuss. He was American but now is Thai national.

contact a lawyer - this guy knows his stuff and is part of a firm.

The BOI would need to approve the investment for it to qualify for a visa. They're not going to approve something that's already been done as the point of the visa is to bring new money into Thailand.
