Ownership & Legal Structures

Foreign investors commonly combine leasehold layers with Thai company structures. Work through steps:

1. Due diligence on land title and existing encumbrances.
2. Incorporate a Thai company with 51% Thai shareholders and binding shareholder agreements.
3. Register long-term leases (30+30+30) and mortgage rights to secure control.

Regular compliance audits protect against nominee risk.
