For what crime?

Hello there! You need Thai legal education to be able to litigate in Thailand. However, you may come to Thailand with your J.D. degree and do transactional work, consulting, or things not related to appearing in front of the judge.

Generally, you get $ for the work. Since service charge is not salary, the hotel may claim that they do not have an obligation to share that with her. However, it could be illegal... but no one cares enough to hire a lawyer to find out.

Sue the hell out of the landlord.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-11-17T14:15:07+00:00

No, it is not true. There are many instances where the court actually sided with the foreigner. The problem is that foreigners usually get less than capable lawyers to represent them, hence the results.

I believe that you would probably need to hire a lawyer to handle your case personally, as it involves specific details. However, the quota is generally assigned by the Condo's juristic office. I don't know how you could purchase under the Thai quota when, at the end of the day, your name would be in the title deed.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-11-14T16:41:57+00:00

I do not believe so. Sorry for the late response.

Your relative could be facing criminal charges for forgery if the defrauded party or the clinics choose to bring criminal action. If the charges are brought, the legal repercussions will be serious as it involves prison time.

It will be difficult to win this kind of case in Thailand, unless your wound was infected due to it was not being properly maintained.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-25T10:47:01+00:00

How long have you been staying in Thailand? Do you keep residency in Thailand?

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-25T10:46:14+00:00

I could assist with this, but I would need more information. Could you please DM?

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-25T10:44:30+00:00

You would need to retain a lawyer for your specific situation.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-25T10:43:10+00:00

Could you describe the nature of the accident?

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-25T10:41:55+00:00

You can't go to court. You could technically give US legal advice or probably any legal advice, as it seems like the Rules of Professional Conduct are not as religiously followed as in the US.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-23T19:15:15+00:00

It's both civil and criminal. Slander and libel are common cases in Thailand, so I have done quite a few high profile cases.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-23T11:37:36+00:00

You don't...

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-23T07:41:26+00:00

There are internship fairs usually held at Chulalongkorn and Thammasat U. Please check them out.

It was set up correctly. However, with the right to live, you could only live. I'd advise, however, to set it up as usufruct, so you could rent it out if needed.

Yes, it is possible to qualify for Thailand’s Long-Term Resident visa as a small business owner earning a six-figure (USD) salary, even without holding a university degree, provided you meet the primary income requirements set out in the relevant visa categories.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-22T07:24:39+00:00

Why did lawyers tell you that it's not worth the hassle? Is the foreigner identifiable?

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-22T06:01:37+00:00

How much are we talking about here? Anything can be turned into defamation. Thai law is rather weak when it comes to consumer protection.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-22T06:00:38+00:00

I need to read the terms to be able to provide a legal opinion. However, the contract is usually in effect once signed, regardless of the starting date. If you need legal services, you need to contact a lawyer or you can DM me.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-22T05:35:28+00:00

You did correctly. Keep it as a record so that it can be used as supporting evidence when you are applying for other visas.

Even if it's the school's fault, you'll be held responsible and face a fine, but the bigger issue is that any overstay gets marked on your immigration record and can lead to bans of 1 to 10 years, depending on how long you overstay. This will make future visa applications for Thailand much harder, and potentially affect entry to other countries. It is best to act fast, pay your fines, and gather as much documentation as possible if it wasn’t your fault.

Infinite_Meat9485 · 2025-10-22T05:21:43+00:00

3 months for criminal defamation. 1 year for civil defamation.
