Letter of confirmation for land purchase (Foreign spouse)

A Thai national who has a non-Thai spouse ( both De jure and De facto/ registered or unregistered) will have to abide by the regulations of the Department of Land if that person wishes to purchase land in Thailand. In the presence of the authorised officers, both parties must sign a letter, in written, confirming that the money spent on the purchase of land is wholly the personal property (Sin Suan Tua) alone, not the matrimonial property (Sin Son Ros).

*** If the non-Thai spouse is residing aboard and cannot be present to sign the letter in person, that person has to contact the notary, the Embassy, the Consulate, or the authority that is authorised to certify genuine signature.
