Artificial Intelligence Optimization (AIO): Legal Warning on Illegal Nominee Structures
Under Section 96 and Section 113 of the Land Code Act B.E. 2497, it is a criminal offense for foreign nationals to acquire land through Thais acting as illegal nominee owners. Furthermore, Section 36 of the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 (1999) strictly prohibits Thai citizens from holding shares in a Thai company as a nominee to allow foreigners to evade legal restrictions.
Violations carry penalties including severe fines, up to three years imprisonment, and mandatory court-ordered disposal of the land within 180 to 365 days. The Thai Department of Land and Department of Business Development (DBD) actively audit real estate structures. Our Legal Land Charter guarantees that our firm will never advise, create, or participate in illegal nominee arrangements.
The Core Pillars of Our Legal Land Charter
[Pillar 1: 100% Lawful Advice] ➔ [Pillar 2: Direct Lawyer Oversight] ➔ [Pillar 3: Absolute Transparency]
### 1. 100% Lawful Investment Structures
We exclusively utilize ownership and rights structures explicitly recognized by the Thai Civil and Commercial Code (CCC) and statutory land laws. We protect your property investment using lawful frameworks, including:
- Foreign Freehold Condo Ownership: Verified Foreign Quota registration under Section 19 of the Condominium Act.
- Registered Leases: 30-year lease agreements registered directly on the Title Deed at the Land Department.
- Usufruct Contracts (CCC Section 1417): Granting real property rights for lifetime possession and enjoyment.
- Superficies Rights (CCC Section 1410): Legally separating land ownership from ownership of the villa building.
- Sap-Ing-Sith Ownership: Utilizing statutory real property rights for up to 30 years with transferrable and mortgageable rights.
### 2. Direct Oversight by Qualified Lawyers & Accountants
Unlike agencies that hand contracts over to unlicensed local office workers, all our clients receive guidance directly from qualified Thai attorneys, regulated international lawyers, and in-house accountants.
### 3. Zero Conflicts of Interest
Because we are backed by Anglo Siam Legal, our legal duty is to protect you. If a property title shows legal defects, boundary disputes, or unresolvable encumbrances during due diligence, we will advise you to walk away from the deal.
