When you need a lawyer in Phuket
Phuket is the number-one destination for Russian speakers in Asia — people come for a villa, a condo, and a long-stay visa. A lawyer is needed for: property purchases, visas, and disputes.
Typical rates: lawyer in Phuket — $80–200/hr. General questions are answered free of charge, and a specialist will personally review your case.
What matters specifically for Russian speakers from the CIS
- Foreigners CANNOT own land in Thailand. Condominiums — yes (within the 49% foreign ownership quota per building); land or villas — only via a leasehold (typically 30 years) or through a Thai company. Nominee structures carry real legal risk — a lawyer’s review is essential.
- Visas: Thailand Privilege (Elite), LTR, DTV (for remote workers), retirement.
- Income remittance tax (2024). Income transferred to Thailand by a tax resident may be taxable — plan carefully what you remit and when.
- Money — USDT and international transfers; documents from CIS countries — apostille and translation, remotely.
Real estate
- condo (freehold within quota) vs. leasehold villa; developer due diligence, title check (Chanote), escrow;
- avoid nominee Thai companies without proper legal support;
- for new builds — verify the developer’s permits and reputation.
Visas and disputes
- Elite/DTV/LTR/retirement; renewals;
- disputes with developers and over tenancy agreements.
How to choose
- hire a Thai lawyer with English/Russian and hands-on experience in foreign property ownership;
- never sign anything with the developer without independent review;
- agree on services and fees.
