Transfer Land to Chanote

[gprit]

My wife says she heard on Thai news that certain provinces are inviting applications to register land as Chanote land? Anyone have any pointers to this and what provinces are eligible. My wife phone the Land Office in Loei but they said they had no information.

Some types of land certificates other than a full Chanote can be "upgraded" with the appropriate application and full land survey. Each Land Office would be fully aware of the requirements.. Some classifications of land cannot be upgraded. I would view with suspicion any offer of land sale that is only done via a "bill of sale" or with the "assistance" of the village chief. That land could be legally owned on a Chanote by someone else...

LAND DOCUMENTS WHICH PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF LAND OWNERSHIP OR POSSESSION
RIGHTS
Title Deed (Chanote)
A title deed is the purest form of land ownership. It ensures easy transfer and is issued
mainly in urban areas. One original set is kept in the District Land Office where the
registration of land transfer takes place, and the other original set is given to the owner of
the land.

Confirmed Certificate of Use (Ngor Sor Saam Gor)
This document certifies the right to use land and is often issued pending title deed.
Transfer of the certificate is mainly completed at the District Land Office or Branch District
level, as the case may be.

Certificate of Use (Ngor Sor Saam)
This is similar to the confirmed certificate of use, but lacks completion of formalities such
as provision of an aerial photo of the land. Transfer of this certificate requires posting of
intent at each of the following places:
􀁸 Provincial Land Office or Branch Land Office.
􀁸 District Land Office or Branch District Office.
􀁸 House of the Village Headman.
􀁸 Location of the land.
􀁸 Municipal Office, if the land is in a municipality.
There is a 30-day waiting period before the transfer is registered by the Chief District
Officer or Assistant District Officer, as the case may be.

Certificate of Possession (Sor Kor Neung)
This certificate only recognizes possession and does not imply ownership rights with
such possession. The certificate is non-transferable. However, a person in possession may
transfer physical possession. This certificate is required for issuance of a Certificate of Use,
and is most common in the rural areas.

Tax Receipt
A tax receipt is evidence of possession, but does not confer ownership rights with
possession. It is useful when applying for a Certificate of Possession.
`
The Condominium Unit Title Deed (Nangsue Kammasit Hong-Chut) is evidence of
ownership of a condominium unit. This document has similar importance to the Land Title
Deed (Chanote). Administrative procedures relating to the registration and issuance of a
Land Title Deed also apply to the registration and issuance of a Condominium Unit Title

This could help a little bit (for your wife, it is in Thai). Loei included.
