Even if he acquired a Non O visa and an annual retirement extension, the Thai government could decide tomorrow to require impossible to get health insurance and he would have to abandon his home, furnishings, car, motorcycle, friends, neighbors and life with little or no notice.

Ask them to write a new lease and register you at the correct address.

If she refuses, demand the agent intervene.

No problem to get training, residence certificate and Thai motorcycle license on Tourist Visa.

Also, good training a good way to meet people and make friends.

I am an American in Thailand for my third year on a retirement visa.

I have met Nico at Assist Thai Visa and I have no doubt he and his company are legitimate and reputable.

When I first arrived, I was able to open a bank account and get a Thai drivers license myself… It was a great Thailand learning experience. One I would not want to repeat. Registering a used vehicle was too difficult and required assistance.

With regard to my Non O retirement visa and subsequent annual extension based on retirement, I used a different agent, which was recommended by a friend. The agent was amazing.

I asked her lots of questions, took notes and made photocopies of everything with the intention of renewing it myself next time.

However, the agent did such a good and efficient job that I will probably just ask her to handle the renewal.

There comes a time in some people’s life when they have better things to do than wait in line all morning.

For me, the agents fees in exchange for spending 5 minutes in the immigration office having my photo taken and passport stamped are well worth the small cost.

Although common, the scheme you suggest is illegal.

Anyone acting as a nominee to circumvent Thai law is committing a crime.

Piss off a neighbor, renter or other party and see how long your scheme lasts.

Also, good luck when your fake company is audited.

@Thomas ********

gives bad advice.

@thomas bernard Just because someone offers a service that your friends use does not make it legal.

With certain very limited exceptions, foreigners cannot own land in Thailand. Full stop.

Just because you try to subvert Thai law with a company does not make it legal.

Lool.

No matter what anyone tells you…

Except for approved condominium projects (where a majority of owners are Thai), a foreigner simply cannot own real property in Thailand.

It’s unlawful to use a business to circumvent property laws.

Do some try to circumvent the law? Yes, but don’t spend more than you are willing to lose.

Much better to rent what you want and have the freedom to experience different areas and interests, especially with seasonal changes including the air quality.
