Russian-speaking lawyers in Thailand

Phuket and Pattaya have become winter homes for many Russians, Ukrainians and Kazakhs. Russian-speaking lawyers in Thailand help this community with stay rules and property.

Usual matters include education, retirement and long-term resident visas, condominium purchases in foreign quota, villa leases, company setup and work permits, rental business licensing, disputes with developers, and criminal or immigration cases after an overstay or arrest. Thai lawyers must be licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand. Courts work in Thai, so Russian documents need translation and legalisation. Lawyers can also help with bank accounts, marriage to a Thai partner and the 90-day reporting rules. Some families come for schooling and need advice on guardianship.

Fees are usually fixed. Get the scope in writing. Russian-speaking lawyers in Thailand are concentrated in Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok. Make sure Russian-speaking lawyers in Thailand work with a licensed Thai lawyer on any court case. Compare the firms below and contact them directly.
