Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has ordered a nationwide crackdown on illegal foreign land ownership, with ฿14 billion in property facing forced sales. The operation targets 2,360 plots and 13,088 suspected parties, with provincial governors ordered to complete priority investigations by December. Meanwhile, Thai spouses of foreigners face tougher checks on property purchase funds, while land deals exceeding ฿2 million face closer scrutiny. Investigators must also uncover the real financiers behind nominee companies and prevent illegally held land from passing to replacement nominees. Anutin has warned influential figures that they face prosecution, with deportation, money laundering investigations and other legal action also in prospect. The orders follow major raids on luxury properties and months of investigations into foreign-linked businesses across Thailand.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on Monday ordered a nationwide crackdown on illegal foreign land ownership, targeting property worth ฿14.01 billion. Provincial governors have until December to complete priority investigations, with compulsory land sales and prosecutions to follow.

Meanwhile, Thai nationals married to foreigners face tighter checks on the money used to purchase land. The campaign covers 5,467 rai and thousands of suspected nominee arrangements. Anutin also warned influential figures behind illegal property deals that their connections would offer no protection.

Crucially, the government is demanding completed investigations and enforcement, not simply the identification of suspicious properties.

Anutin launches nationwide land crackdown with forced sales and tighter checks on foreign nominees

The Prime Minister, who also serves as Interior Minister, launched the campaign at Government House in Bangkok on October 19. The event began at 10 am in the Santi Maitri Building, with provincial governors joining by video conference.

Senior Department of Lands officials and representatives of other government agencies also attended. Anutin demanded action against foreigners suspected of controlling Thai land through unlawful nominees. In particular, he ordered investigators to establish the real owners and financial beneficiaries behind suspicious transactions.

The crackdown has two immediate objectives. First, officials must investigate existing holdings and enforce compulsory disposals where violations are established.

Second, land offices must strengthen checks on new purchases, including transactions involving foreign spouses and companies. Separately, investigators must monitor subsequent buyers of illegally held land. This is intended to prevent properties passing between successive Thai nominees while the same foreigners retain control.

Land department identifies 13,088 suspicious parties and ฿14.01 billion in property facing scrutiny

Department of Lands Director-General Somchai Leelanoi disclosed the scale of the preliminary findings. Investigators have identified 13,088 parties associated with suspicious land ownership arrangements.

Of these, 1,550 were companies suspected of involving illegal foreign shareholdings. Another 11,538 were suspected of holding land on behalf of foreigners. In addition, officials identified 2,360 plots associated with 1,397 suspected nominee landholders. Together, those properties cover approximately 5,467 rai, equivalent to 875 hectares or 8.75 square kilometres.

The combined estimated value of the targeted land is ฿14.01 billion, approximately $420 million. However, these figures do not represent completed confiscations or compulsory sales. Investigators must still establish violations and pursue the required legal procedures.

Nor has the government announced that every suspected nominee has committed an offence. Nevertheless, Anutin has ordered officials to move cases towards legal decisions rather than leave investigations unresolved.

The Prime Minister delivered a direct warning to influential individuals suspected of directing unlawful property transactions. He told provincial governors that powerful connections must not obstruct enforcement. “Those behind this are mostly ‘somebody’. They are not ordinary people but influential ones. However, no influence is greater than that of the government,” Anutin declared. Furthermore, he pledged government support for officials pursuing investigations, including those involving influential suspects.

Investigators ordered to uncover the real financial backers and beneficiaries behind land ownership

Anutin also demanded that investigators establish the individuals actually controlling suspicious landholdings. Registered title deeds and company shareholder lists must not be treated as conclusive evidence of genuine ownership.

Instead, officials must examine who provides the capital, makes decisions and receives financial benefits. This requires inquiries into financial arrangements, company records and relationships between registered Thai owners and foreign beneficiaries.

“This investigation must not stop at merely the names of title deed holders or company shareholders; it must dig deeper to identify the true controlling figures, behind-the-scenes decision-makers, and ultimate beneficial owners,” he said.

The instruction places beneficial ownership at the centre of the nationwide operation. Accordingly, investigators must identify individuals directing transactions behind registered shareholders and title deed holders. They must also examine whether subsequent changes in ownership conceal prohibited foreign control.

Provincial governors given December deadline as government prepares compulsory sales of illegal land

The December deadline gives provincial governors approximately ten weeks to complete priority investigations. Each province must identify suspicious landholdings, establish responsibility for individual cases and coordinate with other agencies.

Meanwhile, the Department of Lands will work with police and financial investigators to examine ownership structures and supporting documents. Anutin wants clear procedures, accountable officers and completed findings before the deadline.

However, the December target does not require every prosecution, appeal or compulsory sale to finish within that period. The immediate instruction concerns priority investigations and decisions on appropriate enforcement.

Subsequent legal proceedings must follow the applicable procedures. Even so, governors must establish which suspected holdings violate Thai ownership restrictions. Their findings will determine the cases proceeding towards compulsory disposal and further legal action.

Forced land sales are central to the campaign. Thai legislation already provides mechanisms requiring disposal of land unlawfully acquired or held for foreigners. Therefore, Anutin is directing officials to enforce existing provisions rather than creating an entirely new confiscation power.

Once violations are established, the relevant procedures can lead to compulsory sales. Associated civil and criminal proceedings may also continue against those involved.

Officials must scrutinise new buyers to stop illegally held land passing between successive nominees

Notably, the government wants officials to examine the purchasers of land sold through enforcement action. A transfer to another Thai nominee would not resolve unlawful foreign control. Consequently, investigators must establish whether replacement buyers are genuinely independent.

They must also examine the financial arrangements behind subsequent purchases. The instruction targets cases where registered ownership changes but the original foreign beneficiary retains effective control.

The measures extend beyond the original acquisition of property. Officials must examine changes in shareholders, financing and company control after registration. A company may initially acquire land under one ownership structure before its arrangements subsequently change.

In such cases, later transactions may become relevant where they create unlawful foreign control. Investigators are therefore being instructed to review the history of suspicious holdings, not merely the original title documents.

On another front, the government is tightening scrutiny of land purchases involving Thai nationals married to foreigners. This directly affects transactions involving mixed-nationality households.

Thai spouses of foreigners must prove genuine ownership of funds used to purchase land in Thailand

Department of Lands Director-General Somchai Leelanoi said Thai spouses must demonstrate that purchase funds genuinely belong to them. The requirement places greater emphasis on the financial evidence supporting transactions registered in the Thai partner’s name.

Thai citizens remain legally entitled to own land after marrying foreign nationals. However, Thai law prohibits foreigners from circumventing ownership restrictions through Thai nominees. As a result, officials must establish whether the Thai spouse genuinely owns the property and the purchase money.

A registered title deed alone may not settle questions about the underlying arrangement. Instead, investigators may examine financial records and supporting declarations where transactions raise concerns.

The Department of Lands already requires declarations concerning funds used by Thai nationals married to foreigners. Monday’s announcement, however, places greater emphasis on verifying those declarations.

A signed statement may therefore be examined alongside evidence establishing the money’s ownership. In particular, officials may seek to determine whether funds genuinely belong to the Thai purchaser. The focus remains on arrangements concealing prohibited foreign ownership, rather than marriage to a foreign national itself.

Questions remain over family transfers as higher-value property deals face new background checks

The tighter scrutiny raises practical questions about money transferred between spouses. These include joint savings, bank deposits, family funds and transfers intended for property purchases.

However, the government has not published comprehensive new instructions covering every category of transfer. Nor has it announced that money originally supplied by a foreign spouse automatically establishes illegal nominee ownership. The legal questions concern genuine ownership and whether the arrangement conceals prohibited foreign control.

Similarly, Monday’s announcement does not prohibit Thai citizens with foreign spouses from purchasing land. Their existing legal rights remain intact. Nevertheless, officials are being instructed to examine the actual financing behind suspicious transactions. This creates closer verification of property purchases involving mixed-nationality couples. The Department of Lands has not yet clarified the evidence required for every financial arrangement.

In parallel, officials are strengthening background checks on higher-value land purchases. Somchai said transactions involving purchase prices exceeding ฿2 million would attract additional examination. The same applies where a property’s assessed value exceeds ฿5 million. Importantly, the thresholds operate independently. A transaction need not exceed both figures before additional checks apply.

Land offices to check company financing and existing property holdings before and after registration

Land officials may examine purchasers’ backgrounds, financing and supporting ownership documents. For companies, inquiries may also cover shareholders, capital contributions and financial arrangements.

These checks are intended to identify suspicious nominee structures before registration. At the same time, investigators are examining existing landholdings where unlawful foreign control is suspected. The campaign therefore covers both new transactions and properties already registered.

Some financial checks and spousal declarations existed before Monday’s announcement. Consequently, the latest orders should not be confused with an entirely new prohibition on foreign-linked transactions. Instead, the government is demanding more systematic enforcement of existing ownership restrictions. The additional emphasis concerns funding verification, beneficial ownership and subsequent changes in company control.

The measures are particularly relevant to companies established with Thai-majority shareholdings. Such companies are not automatically illegal simply because foreigners hold minority interests.

Thai company shareholders face scrutiny over genuine control as immigration penalties are considered

However, Thai shareholders must be genuine participants rather than nominees for prohibited foreign beneficiaries. Investigators must therefore establish who supplies the capital and exercises effective control. They must also identify the individuals receiving financial benefits from land and associated businesses.

Further scrutiny will apply to changes in company structures after land registration. These include shareholder transfers and transactions that may alter the actual ownership position. A company initially operating lawfully may subsequently enter arrangements requiring investigation.

Accordingly, officials must examine the financial and commercial substance of suspicious structures. The registered percentage of Thai ownership will not necessarily resolve questions about who controls the property.

The Prime Minister has also connected the land campaign with wider enforcement against foreigners involved in unlawful activities. He referred to immigration proceedings, deportation and investigations into money laundering and tax evasion. In addition, Anutin mentioned possible revocation of Thai citizenship where legal grounds exist.

However, these measures involve separate legal requirements and procedures. A suspected nominee transaction does not automatically establish grounds for deportation or citizenship revocation.

Financial investigations may bring tax and immigration cases as Anutin warns unlawful land nominees

Financial investigations may nevertheless identify evidence relevant to other offences. For example, records examined during land inquiries could require separate money laundering or tax investigations. Immigration action may also follow where the applicable legal conditions are satisfied.

Anutin said the government had prepared procedures to pursue appropriate cases. He instructed officials to identify the individuals directing unlawful arrangements rather than concentrating solely on registered nominees.

“We will take serious action against nominees who hold land on behalf of foreigners,” the Prime Minister declared. “Land is an important national resource. Ownership must be legal and fair and must not create opportunities for illegal exploitation.” He said unlawful arrangements affected the fair use of national resources, national security and confidence in government enforcement.

At the same time, Anutin stressed that Thailand remained open to legitimate foreign investment. “Meanwhile, the government confirms that Thailand is ready to welcome foreign investors who act honestly and transparently, comply with Thai law and respect the rights of Thais,” he added. The Prime Minister’s instructions therefore distinguish lawful investment from arrangements violating Thai land ownership restrictions.

Koh Samui and Koh Phangan villa investigations form backdrop to Anutin’s new nationwide land orders

Monday’s announcement follows months of investigations into foreign-linked property ownership across Thailand. Tourist destinations have featured prominently, particularly Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

Investigators have examined suspected nominee companies, villa developments, rental businesses and long-term lease arrangements. These inquiries have concentrated on ownership structures, financing and the individuals controlling foreign-linked residential properties.

Earlier this year, Anutin personally visited Koh Phangan during an investigation into a suspected illegal villa development. He travelled through Koh Samui as part of the inspection. The visit focused on property ownership arrangements and financing behind foreign-linked developments. It also preceded the nationwide enforcement orders announced on Monday.

Separately, investigations on Koh Samui have identified large numbers of companies requiring examination. In August, officials identified 138 companies requiring urgent land enforcement action on the island. Another 2,579 suspected nominee companies were under investigation.

These inquiries involved suspected foreign-linked ownership structures and related property businesses. However, the figures concern earlier investigations and cannot automatically be added to Monday’s national totals.

Hua Hin investigations and earlier ฿85 billion company probe show scale of foreign nominee inquiries

The campaign has also reached Hua Hin, where police investigated foreign-linked residential property arrangements. Other inquiries have examined property development companies and related commercial activities.

In each case, investigators have focused on ownership structures, financial arrangements and suspected nominee participation. However, the available information does not establish that every earlier case forms part of the latest enforcement programme.

Earlier national investigations covered approximately 11,000 foreign-linked companies. These inquiries involved property and other assets valued at about ฿85 billion. Investigators examined suspected nominee structures, ownership changes and financial transactions. Nevertheless, those figures relate to a broader programme and cannot be treated as additional land identified under Monday’s announcement.

In September, officials reported seizures or freezes exceeding ฿20 billion during the wider crackdown on nominee businesses. The operations involved assets beyond the land now targeted for possible compulsory disposal.

Consequently, the figures cannot be added directly to the latest ฿14.01 billion estimate. They form part of the preceding investigations into suspected unlawful business and ownership arrangements.

Bangkok luxury estate raids bring 11 arrests as provincial governors take charge of land investigations

More recently, police launched another major operation against suspected illegal foreign property ownership in Bangkok. Earlier this month, officers raided 17 locations across four luxury housing estates. The operation resulted in 11 arrests, including Chinese nationals. Investigators also reported assets worth more than ฿6 billion seized during the raids.

The Bangkok operation targeted suspected unlawful arrangements involving high-value residential properties. However, the government has not established that every property involved appears among Monday’s 2,360 plots.

The latest announcement identifies a nationwide enforcement programme with its own figures and deadlines. Its principal targets are suspected unlawful holdings and the individuals exercising control behind registered owners.

Provincial governors now have direct responsibility for completing priority investigations. They must identify suspicious landholdings, assign responsibility for individual cases and coordinate with national agencies. Meanwhile, the Department of Lands must examine supporting records and ownership arrangements. Investigators are also expected to establish the actual beneficiaries rather than rely solely on registered names.

Government tightens land registration controls and examines changes in company ownership

Anutin has ordered stronger controls over future land registrations. In particular, transactions involving Thai spouses of foreigners will face closer scrutiny of purchase funds. Higher-value purchases will also attract background checks.

Additionally, companies acquiring land may face examination of shareholders, capital contributions and financing arrangements. The government wants these checks applied alongside investigations into existing suspected nominee holdings.

The scrutiny extends to ownership changes after registration. Investigators may therefore examine whether a property remains under genuine Thai control following subsequent transactions. This is particularly relevant to companies whose shareholders or financial arrangements change after acquiring land. However, any finding of unlawful ownership must still be established under the applicable legislation.

Compulsory disposal remains a principal enforcement objective. Even so, officials must distinguish suspicious holdings from properties legally established to be unlawfully owned. The identification of 2,360 plots does not mean every title deed has already been revoked. Nor does the ฿14.01 billion estimate represent proceeds recovered through forced sales.

Unanswered questions remain over compulsory sales, foreign spouses and previously registered land

The government has not disclosed how many targeted plots have reached final disposal decisions. Furthermore, officials have not published a complete provincial breakdown of the properties involved.

The number of compulsory sales expected before December also remains unspecified. However, Anutin has ordered governors to complete their priority investigations by the end of that month.

For Thai-foreign households, questions remain over financial documentation. The Department of Lands has not issued comprehensive public guidance covering every form of transfer between spouses. Nor has it announced a universal retrospective examination of previously registered family property purchases. Nevertheless, suspicious transactions may be investigated where officials identify grounds for examining the underlying ownership arrangements.

Existing foreign-linked property companies also face individual examination. Officials must establish whether Thai shareholders are genuine investors and whether company arrangements comply with the law. Separately, financial inquiries may identify offences requiring additional proceedings. The government has instructed investigators to pursue such matters where the evidence supports action.

Anutin demands completed investigations and public reporting before December land enforcement deadline

Anutin has also ordered improved public reporting of enforcement results. Officials are expected to provide channels for reporting suspected violations.

Moreover, the Prime Minister wants closer coordination between departments to prevent investigations remaining unresolved. The emphasis is on identifying actual beneficiaries, establishing violations and enforcing the resulting legal decisions.

The December deadline now places immediate responsibility on provincial governors and the Department of Lands. They must determine which suspected holdings violate Thai land ownership restrictions.

Investigators must also identify the individuals directing unlawful arrangements and establish the evidence required for proceedings. Cases involving illegal ownership may then move towards compulsory disposal, criminal prosecution and related financial inquiries.

Meanwhile, tighter registration checks will apply to higher-value purchases and transactions involving Thai spouses of foreigners. The Department of Lands must still clarify how supporting financial evidence will be assessed in different circumstances.

For existing properties, investigators must establish whether the arrangements conceal prohibited foreign control. Any subsequent compulsory sale must also be examined to prevent replacement nominee ownership.

By the end of December, provincial governors are expected to have completed their priority investigations. Those findings will determine which cases proceed towards forced sales, prosecutions and further financial inquiries.

The Department of Lands must also implement tighter controls over future purchases. Separately, officials must scrutinise subsequent buyers to prevent land sold through enforcement action from returning to the same foreign beneficiaries.

经济、生活、媒体、政治、泰国

泰国总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔已下令在全国范围内严厉打击非法外国人持有土地的行为，价值140亿泰铢的房产面临强制出售。此次行动的目标是2360块地皮和13088名涉嫌人员，各府府尹被要求在12月前完成重点调查。与此同时，外国人的泰国配偶在购房资金方面将面临更严格的审查，超过200万泰铢的土地交易也将受到更严格的审查。调查人员还必须查明空壳公司背后的真正出资人，并防止非法持有的土地转移到新的空壳公司名下。阿努廷警告有影响力的人士，他们将面临起诉，并可能被驱逐出境、接受洗钱调查以及其他法律制裁。此前，泰国政府已对豪华房产进行了大规模突击搜查，并对全国各地与外国有关联的企业进行了数月的调查。

周一，泰国总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔在总理府下令启动一项价值140亿泰铢的海外土地整治行动，目标是打击非法代理人、强制出售土地以及加强房产审查。（来源：泰国政府）

泰国总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔周一下令在全国范围内严厉打击非法外国人拥有土地的行为，目标涉及价值140.1亿泰铢的房产。各省省长须在12月前完成重点调查，随后将强制出售土地并提起诉讼。

与此同时，与外国人结婚的泰国公民在购买土地时，其资金来源将受到更严格的审查。此次行动涵盖5467莱土地，涉及数千起疑似代持交易。阿努廷还警告那些幕后操纵非法房产交易的权贵，他们的关系网无法提供任何保护。

至关重要的是，政府要求完成调查和执法，而不仅仅是识别可疑房产。

阿努廷发起全国性土地整治行动，强制出售土地并加强对外国代理人的审查。

兼任内政部长的总理于10月19日在曼谷总理府启动了这项活动。活动于上午10点在桑蒂·迈特里大厦开始，各府府尹通过视频会议参加了活动。

土地厅高级官员和其他政府机构的代表也出席了会议。阿努廷要求对涉嫌通过非法代理人控制泰国土地的外国人采取行动。他特别命令调查人员查明可疑交易背后的真正所有者和经济受益人。

此次打击行动有两个直接目标。首先，官员必须调查现有非法持有行为，并在查明违法行为后强制处置。

其次，土地管理部门必须加强对新购地交易的审查，包括涉及外国配偶和公司的交易。此外，调查人员必须监控非法持有土地的后续买家。此举旨在防止房产在同一批外国人手中不断易手，而实际控制权却始终掌握在同一批外国人手中。

土地部门查明13088个可疑当事人，并对价值140.1亿泰铢的房产进行审查。

土地厅厅长颂猜·里拉诺公布了初步调查结果的规模。调查人员已查明13088个与可疑土地所有权安排相关的当事人。

其中，1550家公司涉嫌非法吸纳外资持股。另有11538家公司涉嫌为外国人持有土地。此外，官员们还查明了与1397名涉嫌名义土地持有人相关的2360块地皮。这些土地总面积约为5467莱（rai），相当于875公顷或8.75平方公里。

目标土地的总估价约为140.1亿泰铢，约合4.2亿美元。然而，这些数字并不代表已完成的没收或强制出售。调查人员仍需查明违法行为并履行必要的法律程序。

政府也未宣布所有被怀疑的提名人都犯了罪。尽管如此，阿努廷已下令官员们推进案件，使其走上法律程序，而不是让调查悬而未决。

总理直接警告那些涉嫌操纵非法房产交易的权势人物。他告诫各省省长，不得以权势关系阻碍执法。“幕后黑手大多是‘重要人物’。他们并非普通人，而是有权有势的人。然而，没有任何权力能够凌驾于政府之上。”阿努廷总理强调。此外，他还承诺政府将全力支持官员开展调查，包括那些涉及权势人物的案件。

调查人员奉命查明土地所有权背后的真正金主和受益人。

阿努廷还要求调查人员查明实际控制可疑土地的个人。已登记的地契和公司股东名册不能被视为所有权的确凿证据。

相反，官员们必须审查谁提供资金、谁做出决策以及谁获得经济利益。这就需要调查财务安排、公司记录以及注册的泰国所有者与外国受益人之间的关系。

“这项调查不应仅仅止步于产权证持有人或公司股东的姓名；它必须深入挖掘，找出真正的控制人、幕后决策者和最终受益所有人，”他说。

该指令将受益所有权置于全国行动的核心位置。因此，调查人员必须查明在登记股东和产权证持有人背后操控交易的个人。他们还必须审查后续的所有权变更是否掩盖了被禁止的外国控制。

政府准备强制出售非法土地，各省省长被要求在12月前完成最后期限。

12月的最后期限给了各省省长大约十周时间完成优先调查。每个省必须查明可疑土地持有情况，明确个案责任人，并与其他机构协调。

与此同时，土地局将与警方和金融调查人员合作，审查所有权结构和相关文件。阿努廷希望在截止日期前制定明确的程序，确保官员承担责任，并完成调查结果。

然而，12月的目标期限​​并非要求所有起诉、上诉或强制拍卖都必须在该期限内完成。当前的指示重点在于优先调查和确定适当的执法措施。

后续的法律程序必须遵循适用的程序。即便如此，各州州长仍须查明哪些涉嫌持有的资产违反了泰国的产权限制。他们的调查结果将决定哪些案件将进入强制处置程序以及后续的法律诉讼。

强制出售土地是这场运动的核心。泰国法律已有相关机制，要求处置非法获取或为外国人持有的土地。因此，阿努廷指示官员执行现有规定，而不是制定全新的没收权力。

一旦违规行为得到证实，相关程序可导致强制出售。同时，涉案人员还可能面临相关的民事和刑事诉讼。

官员必须严格审查新买家，以阻止非法持有的土地在历任代理人之间转移。

值得注意的是，政府希望官员们审查通过执法行动出售土地的购买者。将土地转让给另一位泰国代理人并不能解决非法外国控制的问题。因此，调查人员必须确定新的买家是否真正独立。

他们还必须审查后续购买背后的财务安排。该指令针对的是登记所有权发生变更，但原外国受益人仍保留实际控制权的情况。

这些措施不仅限于最初的财产收购。官员必须审查注册后股东、融资和公司控制权的变更。一家公司最初可能以某种所有权结构收购土地，但之后其所有权结构可能会发生变化。

在这种情况下，后续交易如果造成非法外国控制，则可能具有相关性。因此，调查人员被指示审查可疑资产的历史记录，而不仅仅是原始所有权文件。

另一方面，政府正在加强对泰国公民与外国人结婚后进行土地购买的审查。这直接影响到涉及跨国家庭的交易。

外国人的泰国配偶必须证明用于在泰国购买土地的资金的真实所有权。

泰国土地厅厅长颂猜·利拉诺表示，泰国籍配偶必须证明购房资金确系其所有。该要求更加注重以泰国籍配偶名义登记的交易的财务证明。

泰国公民与外国公民结婚后，仍依法享有土地所有权。然而，泰国法律禁止外国人通过泰国代理人规避所有权限制。因此，官员必须核实泰国配偶是否真正拥有该房产及其购房款。

仅凭已登记的产权证可能无法解决有关产权安排的疑问。相反，调查人员可能会审查财务记录和相关声明，以查明哪些交易存在问题。

土地厅此前已要求与外国人结婚的泰国公民申报其资金使用情况。然而，周一的公告更加强调对这些申报的核实。

因此，签署的声明可能会与证明资金所有权的证据一并审查。特别是，官员可能会试图确定资金是否真正属于泰国购买者。重点仍然是掩盖非法外资所有权的安排，而不是与外国公民结婚本身。

随着高价值房产交易面临新的背景调查，家庭成员之间的财产转移问题仍然存在疑问。

更严格的审查引发了关于夫妻之间资金转移的实际问题。这些问题包括共同储蓄、银行存款、家庭资金以及用于购买房产的转账。

然而，政府尚未发布涵盖所有转账类别的全面新规，也未宣布由外国配偶提供的资金会自动构成非法的代理人所有权。法律问题在于所有权的真实性，以及这种安排是否掩盖了被禁止的外国控制。

同样，周一的公告并未禁止拥有外籍配偶的泰国公民购买土地。他们现有的合法权益依然有效。然而，官员们已被指示审查可疑交易背后的实际资金来源。这将加强对涉及跨国夫妇的房产交易的核查。土地厅尚未明确每项财务安排所需的证据。

与此同时，官员们正在加强对高价值土地交易的背景审查。颂猜表示，成交价超过200万泰铢的交易将受到额外审查。同样，如果房产的评估价值超过500万泰铢，也将受到审查。需要注意的是，这两个门槛是独立计算的。交易无需同时超过这两个门槛，就会受到额外审查。

土地局会在注册前后核查公司融资情况和现有房产持有情况。

土地管理部门可能会审查购买者的背景、融资情况和所有权证明文件。对于公司而言，调查还可能包括股东信息、出资额和财务安排。

这些检查旨在登记前识别可疑的代理人结构。同时，调查人员也在审查涉嫌存在非法外国控制的现有土地持有情况。因此，此次行动涵盖新交易和已登记的房产。

在周一的公告发布之前，一些财务审查和配偶声明就已经存在。因此，不应将最新命令与全面禁止境外关联交易混淆。相反，政府要求更系统地执行现有的所有权限制。新增的重点在于资金核实、受益所有权以及公司控制权的后续变更。

这些措施尤其适用于由泰国人控股的公司。仅仅因为外国人持有少数股份，这些公司并非自动被视为非法。

泰国公司股东的真正控制权正面临审查，因为移民处罚也在考虑之中。

然而，泰国股东必须是真正的参与者，而非被禁止的外国受益人的代理人。因此，调查人员必须查明谁提供了资金并实际控制公司。他们还必须查明从土地及相关业务中获得经济利益的个人。

土地登记后，公司结构的变更将受到进一步审查。这些​​变更包括股东转让和可能改变实际所有权状况的交易。一家最初合法运营的公司，随后也可能达成需要调查的安排。

因此，官员必须审查可疑机构的财务和商业实质。泰国人登记的所有权比例并不一定能解决谁控制该房产的问题。

总理还将土地征用行动与打击外国人非法活动的更广泛执法行动联系起来。他提到了移民程序、驱逐出境以及对洗钱和逃税的调查。此外，阿努廷还提到，在有法律依据的情况下，可能会撤销泰国国籍。

然而，这些措施涉及不同的法律要求和程序。涉嫌代持交易并不自动构成驱逐出境或撤销公民身份的理由。

阿努廷警告非法土地代理人，金融调查可能涉及税务和移民案件。

尽管如此，财务调查仍可能发现与其它犯罪相关的证据。例如，土地调查期间审查的记录可能需要进行单独的洗钱或税务调查。在满足适用法律条件的情况下，也可能采取移民行动。

阿努廷表示，政府已制定相关程序来处理适当的案件。他指示官员们要查明幕后指使非法安排的个人，而不是仅仅关注登记在册的代理人。

总理宣布：“我们将严厉打击以外国人名义持有土地的代理人。土地是重要的国家资源，所有权必须合法、公平，绝不能为非法开采提供可乘之机。” 他表示，非法安排会影响国家资源的公平利用、国家安全以及公众对政府执法的信心。

与此同时，阿努廷强调，泰国仍然欢迎合法的外国投资。他补充道：“政府重申，泰国欢迎那些诚信透明、遵守泰国法律并尊重泰国人民权利的外国投资者。” 因此，总理的指示将合法投资与违反泰国土地所有权限制的安排区分开来。

苏梅岛和帕岸岛别墅调查构成了阿努廷新的全国性土地法令的背景。

周一的公告是在泰国各地针对外国关联房产所有权展开数月调查之后发布的。旅游目的地，特别是苏梅岛和帕岸岛，一直是调查的重点。

调查人员已对涉嫌空壳公司、别墅开发项目、租赁业务和长期租赁协议进行了审查。这些​​调查主要集中在所有权结构、融资以及控制涉外住宅物业的个人方面。

今年早些时候，阿努廷亲自前往帕岸岛，调查一起涉嫌非法别墅开发项目。作为调查的一部分，他还途经苏梅岛。此次访问的重点是与外国有关联的开发项目的产权安排和融资情况。此次访问也早于周一宣布的全国性强制执行令。

此外，苏梅岛的调查也发现了大量需要审查的公司。8月份，官员们确认岛上有138家公司需要采取紧急土地执法行动。另有2579家涉嫌空壳公司正在接受调查。

这些调查涉及疑似与外国有关联的所有权结构及相关房地产业务。然而，这些数据属于早期调查结果，不能自动计入周一公布的全国总数。

华欣调查和此前涉及850亿泰铢的公司调查显示了外国代理人调查的规模。

此次行动也蔓延至华欣，警方对涉外住宅地产交易展开调查。其他调查则针对房地产开发公司及相关商业活动。

在每个案件中，调查人员都重点关注所有权结构、财务安排以及涉嫌的代理人参与情况。然而，现有信息并不能证明之前的每个案件都属于最新的执法行动计划的一部分。

此前，全国范围内的调查涵盖了约11,000家与外国有关联的公司。这些调查涉及价值约850亿泰铢的房产和其他资产。调查人员审查了涉嫌的代理人结构、所有权变更和金融交易。然而，这些数据与一项更广泛的计划有关，不能被视为周一公告中确定的新增土地。

9月份，官方报告称，在对空壳公司进行更大规模的打击行动中，查封或冻结的资产超过200亿泰铢。这些行动涉及的资产不仅限于目前可能被强制处置的土地。

因此，这些数字不能直接加到最新的140.1亿泰铢的估算值中。它们是此前对涉嫌非法商业和所有权安排进行调查的一部分。

曼谷豪宅突击搜查行动逮捕11人，各府府尹接手土地调查。

近日，警方在曼谷发起另一项针对涉嫌非法外国人持有房产的大规模行动。本月初，警方突击搜查了四个豪华住宅区的17处地点，逮捕了11人，其中包括中国公民。调查人员还报告称，在突击搜查中查获了价值超过60亿泰铢的资产。

曼谷的行动目标是涉嫌涉及高价值住宅物业的非法交易。然而，政府尚未证实所有涉案物业都出现在周一公布的2360块地皮中。

最新公告公布了一项全国范围的执法计划，并制定了相应的具体目标和期限。该计划的主要目标是涉嫌非法持有资产者以及在登记所有者背后实际控制资产的个人。

各省省长现在直接负责完成优先调查。他们必须查明可疑土地持有情况，指定个案负责人，并与国家机构协调。同时，土地部门必须审查相关记录和所有权安排。调查人员还需确定实际受益人，而不仅仅依赖于登记姓名。

政府加强土地登记管制，并审查公司所有权变更情况。

阿努廷已下令加强对未来土地登记的管控。特别是，涉及泰国籍外国人配偶的交易，其购房资金将受到更严格的审查。高价值交易也将接受背景调查。

此外，收购土地的公司可能面临股东、出资额和融资安排方面的审查。政府希望在调查现有涉嫌代理人持股的同时，也进行这些审查。

审查范围涵盖登记后的所有权变更。因此，调查人员可能会审查房产在后续交易后是否仍由泰国方面真正控制。这一点对于在收购土地后股东或财务安排发生变更的公司尤为重要。然而，任何关于非法所有权的认定仍须依据适用法律。

强制处置仍然是执法部门的主要目标。即便如此，官员们必须区分可疑的非法持有房产和依法认定为非法所有的房产。查明的2360块地并不意味着所有地契都已被撤销。同样，140.1亿泰铢的估算金额也不代表通过强制出售收回的款项。

关于强制出售、外国配偶和先前已登记土地等问题，仍存在一些悬而未决的问题。

政府尚未公布已做出最终处置决定的目标地块数量。此外，官员们也未公布涉及地块的完整省级分类信息。

预计12月前强制拍卖的数量仍未确定。不过，阿努廷已命令各州州长在12月底前完成各自的优先调查。

对于泰籍外籍家庭而言，财务文件方面仍存在疑问。土地厅尚未发布涵盖配偶间所有财产转移形式的全面公共指南，也未宣布对先前已登记的家庭房产购买进行普遍的追溯审查。然而，如果官员发现有理由审查潜在的所有权安排，则可能会对可疑交易展开调查。

现有的外资房地产公司也面临个别审查。官员必须查明泰国股东是否为真正的投资者，以及公司安排是否符合法律规定。此外，财务调查可能会发现需要采取进一步行动的违法行为。政府已指示调查人员在证据确凿的情况下，对此类案件进行追查。

阿努廷要求在12月土地执法截止日期前完成调查并向公众公布结果。

阿努廷还下令改进执法结果的公开报告机制。官员们应提供举报可疑违法行为的渠道。

此外，总理希望各部门之间加强协调，以防止调查悬而未决。重点在于查明实际受益人、确定违法行为并执行由此产生的法律判决。

12月的最后期限现在将责任直接推给了各省省长和土地厅。他们必须确定哪些涉嫌非法持有的土地违反了泰国的土地所有权限制。

调查人员还必须查明幕后指使非法安排的个人，并收集诉讼所需的证据。涉及非法所有权的案件随后可能进入强制处置、刑事起诉和相关财务调查阶段。

与此同时，对于涉及泰国籍外国人配偶的高价值购买和交易，将实施更严格的登记审查。土地厅仍需明确在不同情况下如何评估相关财务证明。

对于现有房产，调查人员必须确定相关安排是否掩盖了被禁止的外国控制。任何后续的强制出售也必须进行审查，以防止所有权被转移给代理人。

预计到12月底，各省省长将完成其优先调查。调查结果将决定哪些案件将进入强制出售、起诉和进一步财务调查阶段。

土地部门还必须加强对未来土地购买的管控。此外，官员们必须审查后续买家，以防止通过执法行动出售的土地再次落入同一批外国受益人手中。

全国范围内的调查目标是超过3.6万家与外国人有关联的土地公司和另外7000家拥有公寓的公司。

法国人在苏梅岛的商业帝国卷入了一起错综复杂的警方调查，调查内容涉及代理公司和大麻种植场。
