Has anyone had recent experience in applying for extension of retirement visa at Jomtien Immigration? I hear rumors that they have changed their policy relating to rentals of property owned by non-resident foreign individuals and now, in addition to the usual landlord docs, require their Thai Tax Identification Number. My condo is owned by a Chinese investor and I believe that will a problem. Any experience with this would be much appreciated.

Given that many had their bank accounts locked due to weird visa situations. I have also heard many business had problems because of the proxy owner work-around.

What are the risks of buying a house under a Thai company. I see there are a quite a few homes for sell as Thai business... What are the chances of the business being seized and the property?

Does anyone have information on owning shares in a Thai company whilst on a DTV, and the legality of it. Or simply where to start looking? 🙏🏼 khrap.

Went to immigration for a 1 yr. Retirement stamp. Had everything on the list they gave me. Thinking i have it made. They want to see the title deed and a photo of the owner that i am renting from. I went through a realtor so I'm hoping he cab obtain these things. So renter beware.

Was watching a video where a visa agent was saying that to get your 12 month retirement extension your landlord needs to also have their own 12 month visa (or similar) and have a tax number , obviously only if foreign landlord, not seen any other mention of this, anyone know anything?

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?
