Spanish-speaking lawyers in Thailand

Spanish-speaking lawyers in Thailand help travellers and residents from Spain, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. Some came for diving in Koh Tao or Phuket and stayed. Others are remote workers in Chiang Mai, retirees on the islands or entrepreneurs opening restaurants and hostels.

Common questions involve long stay visas, work permits and the rules on foreign ownership. Foreigners generally cannot own land, but they may buy condominium units within the foreign quota, and lawyers review leases and company structures for houses. Business owners need advice on the Foreign Business Act. Marriage to a Thai partner, divorce, accidents with rented scooters and police cases also come up.

Thai courts hear cases in Thai, and the court can arrange an interpreter. Foreign documents usually need legalisation and a certified Thai translation. Ask for the lawyer's licence from the Lawyers Council of Thailand, since some firms employ unlicensed advisers. Get the fee in writing and ask what is included.
