hi. I’m still learning but the basic - when you do a lease as long as 30 years (the max) you have to then register it at the land office. Apparently the land office is VERY particular about these 30 year leases. I believe that is due to the length of the lease which gives a foreigner total control over the land (unless you make a crap lease agreement for yourself). As we all know Thailand is not a fan of foreign ownership of the land (I’m a fan of that too for cultural reasons).

for 30 years because it would then need to be registered at land office (my lawyers words)

I do not publicly want to bash a country. But for those who know they know.

Lived in Bohol. (Tagbi area) and Phuket (Rawai). In one place I was hit by other bikes and could never leave my helmet when parked. I made the country where I did not get hit or worry about helmet my main base. And visit the other.

No, because after testing it failed to satisfy bank so went with chase.

you may end up being more confused. Also the laws change.

I get what you’re trying to do/say. And the reason why. But talk to a lawyer about this.

@Yns ****

my understanding is everytime you enter Thailand from another country you get a stamp. It is from that stamp you have 364 days to report (you lose a day so it's not 365). But at the 5 year mark no matter what you have to do apply again for the second 5. So essentially with the LTR if you leave the country less than a year each time you know report at 5 years. TM30 still applies.

You didn't leave the country in the 12 months since you got your stamp?

brilliant thanks.
