Home / For Owners

Secure the Thai property you hold.

If you hold Thai property, through a company, a lease, or a Thai spouse who owns it, Thailand's 2026 reforms have changed what counts as safe. TIN gives foreign owners a way to put their position on a secure, legal footing through the Better-than-Freehold® structure, or, if you prefer, a clean exit.

What's changed

If you hold through a company, a lease, or a spouse, the ground has shifted

Thailand's 2026 reforms target exactly the arrangements many foreign owners have relied on. The risk is no longer theoretical.

Company structures are under scrutiny

Company arrangements used to hold land for a foreigner are now closely examined, and new checks (a sworn statement on the source of funds, a financial audit, and an in-person interview) are built to surface undeclared foreign control.

Your exit can be blocked

The old way out, selling the company by transferring its shares, has become a dead end, because the registered Thai shareholders often cannot or will not sign the new declarations. Capital can be left stranded.

Succession is uncertain

A bare lease or an informal arrangement can fail when the owner changes or passes away, leaving your family, or your Thai spouse, in a fragile position.

Your first option, and usually the best

Secure what you hold, and keep it

You do not have to sell to make your position safe. Through the Better-than-Freehold® structure, TIN acquires the property itself, directly at the Land Office, which is the compliant alternative to a now-blocked share transfer. Your interest is then re-established on a secure, legal footing: registered instruments over the property, held on your behalf by an independent, regulated trustee.

You keep the use and benefit of the property. What changes is that your position is now recognised by Thai law and secured against the asset itself, rather than resting on a structure that no longer holds. A funded conversion route is available for those who qualify, with no upfront cost.

Moving out of a non-compliant structure into a compliant one is the entire purpose here. Nothing on this page is legal or tax advice, and your own position can depend on your circumstances and country of tax residency, so independent legal advice should always be taken.

Built for your situation

However you came to hold Thai property

Holding through a company

Move out of an at-risk company arrangement into registered, secured rights, without the share-transfer trap.

Holding it yourself

If you hold a lease or other interest directly, add real security, clean succession, and the financeability the structure brings.

Married to a Thai owner

Where your spouse owns the property, add a layer of security and clean succession for both of you, alongside their ownership.

Two ways forward

Secure and stay, or exit cleanly

Once TIN acquires the property, you decide what happens next.

Secure and stay in

Keep the use and benefit of your property, now on a secure, legal footing through Better-than-Freehold®.

  • Registered, secured rights through a regulated trustee
  • A funded conversion route, with no upfront cost
  • Succession built in, and the right to sell later

Sell and exit

If you would rather walk away, TIN is a ready, well-capitalised buyer that completes.

  • A clean break from an at-risk setup
  • Direct purchase, no onward chain, handled discreetly
  • A defined, professional process
