Hat Yai Land Office.

Hat Yai Land Office at a glance

This is the branch land office that actually handles property transactions for Hat Yai district -- the office foreign condo buyers, sellers and their lawyers visit for unit-ownership transfers, foreign-quota checks, mortgage registration and Chanote title-deed matters, rather than the main Songkhla Provincial Land Office 30km away in Songkhla town. An older official Department of Lands listing (last confirmed update 2014) placed this branch on Lopburi Ramet Road in central Hat Yai; current third-party business directories and a provincial-office news item both point to a relocated site in Khuan Lang sub-district near Hat Yai International Airport. We could not independently confirm the exact relocation date on an official page, so treat the Lopburi Ramet Road address as outdated and call ahead to confirm before visiting.

For any foreign buyer, the land office visit is the final step of a condo purchase -- it is where the foreign-ownership quota (the 49% rule under the Condominium Act) is checked against the building's registered foreign-ownership ratio, funds-transfer paperwork (the Foreign Exchange Transaction, or FET, form / Tor.Tor.3) is reviewed, and the title deed is formally re-registered in the buyer's name. Most buyers attend with a Thai lawyer or their developer's transfer team rather than navigating the process solo.

Address: 9 Moo 6, Thung Kuan Chin Road, Khuan Lang Sub-district, Hat Yai District, Songkhla 90110
Hours: Standard Thai government-office hours apply, typically Monday-Friday with a midday break, closed weekends and public holidays -- exact current hours were not independently confirmed on an official Department of Lands page, so call ahead before an important visit, especially for a time-sensitive transaction like a condo transfer.
Phone: 0-7425-0366 to 0-7425-0369 -- Fax 0-7425-0370. Sourced from a Thai business-directory listing for the current Khuan Lang address rather than an official Department of Lands page we could independently verify, so confirm by phone before relying on it for an urgent matter.
Getting there: Near Hat Yai International Airport in Khuan Lang sub-district, a short distance from the airport terminal -- reachable by car, motorbike or Grab; there is no BTS, MRT or dedicated songthaew route, and it sits outside the central Hat Yai area most residents know best.

What's handled here

• Condo unit ownership transfers, including foreign-quota verification for foreign buyers
• Land and building title deed (Chanote) registration, updates and copies
• Mortgage and lien registration against a property
• Transfer-fee, specific business tax and stamp-duty calculation at time of transaction
• Servitude and other registrable property-right filings

Notable facts

• Covers property transactions within Hat Yai District (and, per the province's branch structure, Bang Klam District) -- not the whole of Songkhla province.
• Located near Hat Yai International Airport in Khuan Lang, not the older Lopburi Ramet Road, central-Hat Yai address some directories still list -- confirm current location before an in-person visit.
• Distinct from Songkhla Provincial Land Office in Songkhla town (Mueang Songkhla District), which is the province's main office and handles matters outside Hat Yai/Bang Klam district's jurisdiction.
