    Power of Attorney (POA) Template Guide

    Guide to creating a valid Power of Attorney in Thailand for property, legal, and business matters.

    Updated:
    Legal Basis: Civil and Commercial Code Sections 797-832Est. Cost: THB 2,000–8,000 depending on complexity

    When to Use

    When you need someone to act on your behalf for legal, property, or business transactions in Thailand.

    Key Clauses

    Grantor & Attorney Identification

    essential

    Full legal names, passport/ID numbers, addresses of both parties.

    Scope of Authority

    essential

    Specific powers granted — general POA or limited to specific acts.

    Duration & Expiry

    essential

    Start date, end date, or event-based expiry.

    Revocation Terms

    recommended

    How the POA can be revoked and notification requirements.

    Witness Requirements

    essential

    Two witnesses required for most POAs in Thailand.

    Warnings

    A general POA gives extremely broad powers — use specific/limited POA whenever possible.

    POAs executed abroad must be notarized and legalized by the Thai embassy/consulate.

    POAs for land transactions must be specifically worded and registered with the Land Office.

    A POA does not survive the death of the grantor — it automatically terminates.

    Professional Legal Assistance

    When a matter involves investigation, arrest, detention, litigation, or regulatory action, professional legal representation becomes essential.

    Anglo Siam Legal provides experienced legal services across Thailand for both Thai nationals and foreigners.
