Thailand's New 99-Year Lease Bill Explained

Thailand's New 99-Year Lease Bill Explained

Thailand is fast-tracking a bill that would more than triple its leasehold cap, from 30 years to 99. Ice from Siam Legal lays out what's actually in the proposal, including which property types qualify and what happens to ownership once the term ends, and why the government sees this as a way to attract serious foreign investment while cutting out illegal nominee structures. The episode also breaks down who stands to benefit most, from developers and high-skilled professionals to everyday Thais, and where the bill currently sits in the legislative process.   𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝:  https://www.siam-legal.com/realestate/Leases.php [https://www.siam-legal.com/realestate/Leases.php]   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: info@siam-legal.com Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ [https://www.siam-legal.com/] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: 📌Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ [https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/] https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/📌Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ [https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/] https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/📌X: https://x.com/SiamLegal [https://x.com/SiamLegal] https://x.com/SiamLegal📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal [https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal] https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal📌LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/] https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/📌YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal [https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal]
