Frequently Asked Questions

Can a foreigner own property in Thailand?
Foreigners can own condominium units outright (up to 49% of total units in a building) but cannot directly own land. Land ownership structures include long-term leases (up to 30 years, renewable), Thai company ownership, or usufruct arrangements. MJ & Co can advise on the best structure for your situation.
Do I need a lawyer for a Thai contract?
While not legally required, having a lawyer review contracts in Thailand is strongly recommended — especially for property, employment, and business agreements. Many contracts are in Thai only, and terms may not align with what you expect. MJ & Co provides contract review and bilingual translation.
How do I file a complaint in Thailand?
Complaints can be filed with the Thai police (for criminal matters), consumer protection agencies, or through civil court. MJ & Co assists with complaint preparation, police report filing, and coordinating with authorities. We help ensure your complaint is properly documented in Thai.
Can MJ & Co represent me in court?
MJ & Co provides legal advisory, document preparation, and case coordination. For court representation, we work with licensed Thai attorneys from our partner law firms. We manage the relationship and ensure you understand every step of the process.
