Hi, I was wondering what's the cost (roughly) for transfer of company or foreign ownership for a property? Say a condo worth around 2 million. Thanks.

Thinking about buying a condo in Bangkok, but as I understand it, it's best to have a thai bank account for the money to pass through. However, I was planning to get a DTV (since I'm too young for a retirement visa) and with the latest changes I understand this prohibits you from getting a bank account (or is not easy anyway). How would I make this work? Is my only option a different visa (which requires more investment)? Or is there some way that if you're planning to buy a condo, you can get a bank account for that purpose?

Im on a DTV now but plan a long term marriage visa soon. Has anyone gone through the process of setting up a business in Thailand? I did my LLC in the States in about 5 minutes I dont think its nearly that easy here. Should I break down and get a lawyer? Recommendations?

Hi, I'm sure this has been addressed many times. Update: I should edit this. Am looking to purchase a house in Thailand. When looking to purchase property in Thailand, do we get the Thai bank account first before the visa (retirement) and purchase ? The rules keep changing and now I am not sure which order it should be.

I will be coming to Thailand in the new year, where I'll be taking ownership of a condo. It's the 49% foreign ownership thing. I won't be retiring then. What would be the best visa, does this count as an investment?

Not sure if this is the right page, but i wanted to ask if there is anyone on here who owns a condo here on koh Samui. We are looking to possibly buy one at the Bay Condominiums near Bangrak, and have a few questions regarding how much we can expect to rent it out at and taxes both here and in Australia that are not being answered well enough by the realestate companies.

If anyone can help that would be great.

Hello Everyone! I would like to know the procedure to open a online e-commerce business in thailand as a foreigner (Indian). I want to start a small cloud kitchen from my home in Thailand and want to register it on all local food apps. Could anyone who knows about it let me know the process. I’m on student visa currently.

Thank you in advance💜

On the new DTV Visa, if you own a company of one in the United States, can you write a letter for yourself?.... I sell real estate and will be looking at some real estate stuff over there.
