Nothing in it is intended as an allegation of unlawful conduct against any named government body, official, company or individual, and no specific person or business is accused of using an illegal structure. References to raids, prosecutions, seizures and enforcement describe publicly reported government actions and stated policy in Thailand’s property and business sectors during 2025 and 2026, and are described here in general terms. The legislative changes discussed, including the Cabinet resolution of 22 April 2025 and the draft instruments approved on 12 May 2026, were approvals in principle or drafts at the time of writing and had not been enacted or published in the Government Gazette; their final scope and timing may change. Quotations attributed to named lawyers are drawn from published interviews and reporting. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Commerce Ministry positions are paraphrased from published government communications and are attributed to those institutions, not to any named individual. The article draws on the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 (1999) and publicly reported 2025-2026 developments, simplified for general readers. Anyone making property, immigration or business decisions in Thailand should obtain qualified, independent local legal advice.
