Common Questions

Frequently Asked

How long does a typical property transaction take?

Standard residential and commercial property transactions in Thailand typically require 4 to 8 weeks from initial instruction to completion at the land office. This timeline accounts for title deed verification, agreement drafting, and coordination with government offices. More complex cases involving foreign ownership structures may take longer, and we will provide a realistic estimate at the outset of your matter.

Can foreigners purchase property in Thailand?

Foreign nationals face certain restrictions under Thai land law, though condominiums and leasehold arrangements remain accessible routes for foreign buyers. The appropriate structure depends on individual circumstances, intended use, and long-term plans. We walk through each available option clearly, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

What does corporate compliance support cover?

Our corporate governance service covers the ongoing obligations that registered companies must meet under Thai law — including annual filings with the Department of Business Development, board meeting documentation, shareholder communication records, and labor law compliance. We offer both one-time assessments for businesses that want a clear picture of their obligations, and quarterly retainer arrangements for ongoing support.

Is mediation preferable to going to court?

In many commercial and civil disputes, mediation offers a more efficient path to resolution — preserving business relationships, reducing costs, and avoiding the unpredictability of litigation. We assess each matter individually before advising on the most appropriate approach. Where mediation is genuinely suitable, we will say so; where formal proceedings are necessary, we prepare thoroughly and advocate clearly.

How are fees structured?

Our published fees represent standard starting points for each service area. The final cost of any matter depends on its scope and complexity, and we discuss this openly before any engagement begins. Corporate compliance is available on a retainer basis, and dispute resolution fees vary with the complexity of the case. There are no unexpected charges — we confirm scope and cost in writing before proceeding.

Do you advise both Thai nationals and foreign clients?

Yes. Garuda Firm works with both Thai and international clients across all three practice areas. Our team is comfortable advising in English, and we regularly handle property and corporate matters for expatriates, foreign investors, and multinational businesses operating in Thailand.
