High-Quality Legal Consultancy

We have previously explained HERE (and with a further follow-up HERE) that most villa or condominium unit owners who are renting out their property on a short-term basis (that is, for periods of less than 30 days) are most likely violating the Hotel Act (2004) if they do so without having received a hotel license. The potential punishment for such violation includes significant fines, or imprisonment, or both.

Historically, obtaining a desired license, registration, or other requisite government permission has often been frustrating and costly in Thailand. Inefficiencies, and the all too common “tea money”/unofficial “fees” charged by government offices to perform their administrative duties, stem from the broad discretion government offices are generally given to determine what an applicant must do or provide, to obtain a license, registration, or permission.

If you are a managing director of a private limited company in Thailand you may have decided to leave the task of dealing with your company’s legal, tax and accounting formalities to your firm’s in house lawyer and accountant or to outsource it to a law firm and an accounting office.
