United States ↔ Thailand

Thailand is the destination.
Your U.S. interests still matter.

Asia Counsel is a U.S.-based legal and business resource for Americans who want to retire, relocate, invest, build a business, or create a life in Thailand—with cross-border issues coordinated from an American perspective.

U.S.-based coordination • Cross-border planning • Independent Thai legal support when Thai law is involved
One plan. Two legal systems.

Crossing borders should not mean losing perspective.

Moving to Thailand can touch far more than immigration. U.S. citizens may also need to consider taxation, business ownership, contracts, estate planning, property, family matters, banking, compliance, and the continuing legal consequences of decisions made abroad.

Asia Counsel provides a U.S.-based point of coordination. We help identify the issues, organize the right professional team, and connect clients with qualified independent Thai lawyers and other specialists when local Thai advice or representation is required.

What we help coordinate

Built around the realities of Americans in Thailand.

01

Relocation & Retirement

Planning for a long-term move, retirement, residency strategy, practical legal setup, and the U.S. issues that continue after relocation.

02

Business & Investment

Cross-border business planning, U.S. entity considerations, commercial arrangements, investment due diligence, and coordination with Thai corporate counsel.

03

U.S. & International Tax

Issue-spotting and planning for Americans with income, assets, businesses, or residence spanning the United States and Thailand.

04

Visas & Thai Legal Matters

Access to independent Thailand-based lawyers and specialists for immigration, corporate, property, family, and other matters governed by Thai law.

05

Estate & Family Planning

Coordination of cross-border wills, succession concerns, asset planning, marriage-related issues, and documents that may need to function in more than one jurisdiction.

06

Contracts & Problem Solving

Review and coordination for transactions, agreements, disputes, due diligence, and the inevitable practical issues that arise when two systems intersect.

The Asia Counsel approach

A U.S. point of contact with the right expertise on both sides.

1

Start with the whole picture.

We begin with what you are actually trying to accomplish—not with a single visa, form, or transaction.

2

Separate the U.S. and Thai issues.

We identify which questions belong to U.S. counsel and which require advice from appropriately qualified Thailand-based professionals.

3

Coordinate rather than fragment.

Where appropriate, we help assemble and coordinate the professional team so the pieces of the plan make sense together.

Who we help

For Americans looking beyond a vacation.

Whether Thailand is your next chapter, your second home, or the base for a new venture, the best time to identify cross-border problems is before they become expensive ones.

  • Americans planning retirement in Thailand
  • Individuals and families preparing to relocate
  • Entrepreneurs establishing or expanding a business
  • Investors evaluating Thai opportunities
  • U.S.–Thai couples and cross-border families
  • Americans with property, income, or assets in both countries
Start with the objective

Tell us what you want your life in Thailand to look like.

We can begin by identifying the legal, tax, business, and practical issues that deserve attention and determine what U.S. and Thailand-based expertise may be appropriate.
