Legal services foreigners in Thailand actually need
Thai law is written in Thai, applied in Thai, and full of rules that only apply to non-Thais. We handle the matters where foreigners most often lose money, time or status.
Visas, work permits and residency
The right visa for your situation, filed correctly the first time. Extensions, 90-day reporting, work permits and long-term residency pathways.
Company registration and business licensing
Thai company setup that survives scrutiny: shareholding structure, Foreign Business Licence, BOI promotion, US Treaty of Amity, accounting and VAT registration.
Marriage, prenuptial agreements and divorce
Registering a marriage recognised at home and in Thailand, protecting assets before you marry, and handling divorce, custody and support with care.
Wills, inheritance and estate planning
A Thai will that covers your Thai assets, drafted so your family is not stuck in a probate court they cannot read. Executor and probate services included.
Contract review and drafting
Leases, purchase agreements, shareholder and employment contracts, reviewed against Thai law and explained in English before you sign.
Litigation and dispute resolution
Deposit disputes, developer delays, unpaid debts, partnership breakdowns and fraud. We negotiate hard first and litigate in Thai courts when needed.

Questions foreigners ask us most
Can a foreigner own property in Thailand?
Foreigners can own condominium units freehold within the 49% foreign quota of a building. Land cannot be owned directly, but villas and land are commonly secured through registered long-term leases, superficies, or a properly structured Thai company. We explain the real options and the risks of each before you commit.
Which visa is right for me?
It depends on your age, income, family situation and what you want to do here. Retirement, marriage, business, LTR, Elite and education visas each have different requirements. Send us your situation and we will recommend the most reliable route.
How much does it cost?
Every matter is quoted as a fixed fee in writing before we start. The initial case assessment is provided at no charge so you can see the scope and price first.
Do I need to come to Bangkok?
No. Most matters run fully by email, video call and courier, with power of attorney where required. We attend Land Offices, courts and government departments on your behalf anywhere in Thailand.
What happens after I send the form?
