Can a Phuket Lease Be Registered at the Land Office?

A qualifying lease may be registered at the Land Office, but the documents, parties, title, term and authority must be correct. Confirm whether the lease covers the land, the building or both; whether plans are attached; and whether access, utilities and common facilities are included. Registration fees and taxes may apply, and the Land Office’s current documentary requirements should be checked before completion.

Ask the buyer-side lawyer to produce a one-page ownership diagram showing the land, building, condominium unit, company or registered rights, together with duration, transfer, succession and default consequences. Confirm the current Land Office and bank requirements before money moves.
