Thai government tightens crackdown on nominee landholding by foreigners
The cabinet formalized expanded measures to prevent foreigners from using Thai nominees to hold land, including mandatory pre-registration checks on Thai buyers' income and source of funds, post-registration audits of company share changes, and a new data-sharing agreement between the Land Department and Business Development Department. Expats should ensure any property ownership structures comply with Thai law to avoid forced divestment and prosecution.
