CHIANGMAI THAILAND LEGAL FEES:

Below are the Updated Law Costs  as at June 2005 & are subject to change. We reserve the right to initiate these changes as and when government fees increase & changes occur without notice. All companies are different and may require different licenses or regulations. We now have our Bangkok Office OPEN with English speaking Thai Lawyer with experience in the USA. Both of our Bangkok Lawyers have international experience, speak English and can assist you on all Law Services in Bangkok. Email us:

USA Amity Company--please ask and only available for US residents setting up in Thailand or go to the section on Amity Treaty but before you think of starting one you must have an existing Thai Company.  Our costs to travel are priced once we start working for you. Wherever possible we limit travel and work via our own Thai representatives in Pattaya. We do have lawyers in Bangkok, Pattaya, Korat, Phuket and use a Corporate law Office in Bangkok. If we send our lawyer to Bangkok fees do not include travelling/ expense costs.

Title Deed search (Court/ Title Office & full English report) 7,000 baht. However if our Lawyers need to travel out of ChiangMai the cost increases but we do quote you. Changing ownership papers  up to 10,000 baht per transaction depending on the work involved & translations. Onsite House Report= 6000 baht for an old House (over 2 years) & 3000 baht for a new house in ChiangMai (add travel expenses but ask us first to quote). This 6-8 page comprehensive report provides buyers with a maintenance report, condition of the property they wish to buy and recommendations from plumbing to foundations to electrical etc -- conducted by our foreign Realty Company. This report is a must if you are thinking about buying a house as we conduct this report in conjunction with a title search and can advise you whether you should or should not purchase as well as the value of the property& recommendations for the buyer & or seller. Should you be buying and require our services to oversee this work we charge a set fee according to time required of us. We do not conduct land surveys due to the absence of pegs and you need a surveyor who we can arrange for you.

We now offer "O" visa services. For new companies the new law requires a work permit to obtain a B visa from Penang or another country. If you do not meet the required criteria you will be only issued single entry. We do however assist with one year visas for retirees and also residency visas. Visas to the USA, UK etc we cannot help nor do we assist with fiancee visas. The USA & other countries now have strict criteria now so please ask them not us.

When a shareholder sells his share or the company changes & new shareholders are now required the Company change costs vary. Again this may depend if the company requires licenses etc.

RESIDENCY VISAS:

please note the fee does not include the Government fees and charges of 2,000 baht and 50,000 baht. Total costs for a residency visa is 72,000 baht *

TRAVEL EXPENSES:

We do charge travel & expenses if we have to fly to the main centres but we do keep these to a minimum as a lot of our work we do use other law offices. These may vary but please do not hesitate to ask us.
