- [Prenuptial agreement](https://thailand.acclime.com/legal/prenuptial-agreement/): Contrary to most countries, where the prenuptial agreement and its contents can cover a wide range of details, drafting a prenuptial agreement in Thailand will be focused only on the husband and wife’s personal and conjugal assets prior to marriage.
- [Marriage in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/legal/marriage-thailand/): Thailand is a wonderful place to get married. It is after all, a beautiful country of countless romantic locations. Whatever you want from your wedding, Thailand has it all. For many though, marrying in Thailand is a practical decision, particularly among resident expats, for whom Thailand provides an alternative to the complicated and expensive procedures required to marry a foreign national in their home country. The good news is that getting married in Thailand has never been easier.
- [Usufruct](https://thailand.acclime.com/legal/usufruct/): A usufruct can be very beneficial for the foreigner in Thailand who is seeking to buy a house or enjoy the use of land. In a way, depending upon how it is structured, a usufruct in Thailand acts much like a life-estate future interest or 99 year lease in American Property Law. Only here, we are dealing with Thai property law and the rules are slightly different, as are most things in Thailand. A Thai usufruct can be drafted so that the person retaining the usufruct in another’s Thai property shall have exclusive enjoyment of that land for the duration of their natural life in Thailand. As implied, this means that effectively the person with a lifetime Thai usufruct has all of the same type of responsibilities and privileges as the owner of the Thai property would, with one major exception: the right to pass the land on to heirs.
- [Superficies agreement](https://thailand.acclime.com/legal/superficies-agreement/): The owner of a piece of land may create a right of superficies in favour of another person by giving him the right to own, upon or under the land, buildings, structures or plantations.
- [Lease agreement](https://thailand.acclime.com/legal/lease-agreement/): Many foreigners in Thailand choose the Thai lease option because it is easy to understand compared to setting up a Thai Company or registering a Thai usufruct or superficies. Although Thai leases are less complicated, they still have legal formalities which must be followed in order to be properly honoured under Thai law.
- [Property purchase agreement](https://thailand.acclime.com/legal/property-purchase-agreement/): Property purchase agreement is a legal instrument used to purchase or sell a property. Although there are many components of standard contracts that remain consistent from one transaction to the next, some parts must be written to include specific language relative to the property.
- [Title deed search](https://thailand.acclime.com/legal/title-deed-search/): Additionally, when purchasing a condominium, a title deed search can reveal the status of the 49:51% foreign ownership ratio.Our legal staff will assist in gathering and reviewing the ownership documents and land deeds. We then travel to the appropriate land department and verify the details directly.
- [Registration and conveyance](https://thailand.acclime.com/legal/registration-conveyance/): When dealing with the government agencies in Thailand, it is always recommended to have proper legal representation. Our legal team is highly experienced and prepared to assist with all your property requirements.

- [One-year business visa extension](https://thailand.acclime.com/hr/immigration/business-visa-extension/): One-year extension of non-immigrant B visa is similar to one-year multiple entry non-immigrant B visa with two big differences – it is based on employment (the applicant needs to have a valid work permit) and it eliminates the requirement to leave the country every 90 days.
- [One-year business visa](https://thailand.acclime.com/hr/immigration/business-visa/): A one-year multiple entry non-immigrant B (business) visa is a visa issued to foreigners interested in pursuing business opportunities or looking to invest in a company, business or a condominium in Thailand.

Furthermore, it also contains the rules regarding the end of an employment contract and the procedure to be followed in case of a wrongful dismissal (one of the most frequent labour dispute).

## Guides
- [Transfer pricing obligations for foreign-owned companies in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/transfer-pricing/): Foreign-owned companies in Thailand routinely transact with their overseas parent or group entities, whether through management fees, intercompany loans or shared services. Thailand's transfer pricing rules require these transactions to be priced as they would be between unrelated parties, and larger companies face a specific disclosure obligation on top of this, with documentation requirements that need to be in place well before the Revenue Department requests them.
- [TFRS for NPAEs and consolidation for foreign-owned Thai companies](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/tfrs-npaes-consolidation/): Foreign-owned SMEs incorporated in Thailand typically adopt TFRS for NPAEs by default, as it is the simplified financial reporting framework available to eligible private companies and involves fewer disclosure requirements than full TFRS. The election is usually made without difficulty at the point of incorporation, but its implications tend to surface later, when a foreign parent consolidates its accounts under IFRS or US GAAP and requires the Thai subsidiary's figures to align with the group's reporting framework.
- [OECD Pillar Two in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/oecd-pillar-two/): For global information on OECD Pillar Two and the global minimum tax for multinational groups in all markets, see Acclime Group’s guide.
- [Using BOI and other incentives in an MNC group structure in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/boi-incentives-mnc-group-structure/): Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) offers a range of incentives aimed at attracting foreign investors, alongside other government programmes that can enhance tax efficiency and operational flexibility. However, the real challenge for multinational corporations lies in integrating these incentives into a coherent regional structure that aligns with transfer pricing rules, substance requirements and long-term commercial objectives.
- [Long-term stay options for foreign executives in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/long-term-stay-options-foreign-executives/): Thailand’s strong regional connectivity developed business infrastructure and attractive quality of life make it a compelling base for senior foreign executives in Southeast Asia. However, executives may encounter early challenges when attempting to remain in the country beyond short-term visits. Standard tourist visas and limited business entry permissions are not designed for extended assignments, often creating uncertainty around legal residence, work authorisation and long-term planning.
- [Hiring foreign employees in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/hiring-foreign-employees/): Employing foreign nationals in Thailand requires working through a regulatory framework that goes well beyond standard employment practices. Companies address visa and work permit requirements, capital thresholds, restricted occupations and ongoing compliance obligations, all of which can affect timelines and operational certainty.
- [Choosing a limited company, representative office or branch in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/company-rep-office-branch-comparison/): Foreign businesses exploring market entry into Thailand face an important early decision: which type of business presence best aligns with their commercial objectives. Thailand offers three main structures for foreign companies seeking to establish operations: a limited company, a representative office or a branch office. Each option serves distinct purposes and comes with its own regulatory framework, operational scope and compliance obligations.
- [Corporate secretarial functions in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/corporate-secretarial-functions/): Corporate secretarial functions represent a fundamental compliance pillar for companies operating in Thailand. The country's regulatory environment places substantial emphasis on proper corporate governance, with the Department of Business Development (DBD) and Ministry of Commerce maintaining oversight of corporate activities.

- [Stamp duty on cross-border contracts in Thailand](https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/stamp-duty-cross-border-contracts/): Thailand's stamp duty regime applies broadly to commercial instruments, yet its implications for cross-border contracts remain one of the most underestimated areas of indirect tax compliance. Multinational groups operating in Thailand frequently focus on corporate income tax and VAT while overlooking stamp duty obligations, particularly where contracts are executed overseas or involve foreign counterparties. The consequences of non-compliance extend beyond financial penalties to include surcharges, enforceability challenges in Thai courts and increased scrutiny during Revenue Department audits.
