Succession is not only the transfer of assets. It is the transfer of responsibility, ownership, authority, family values, and control over businesses and shared wealth.

L’Heritage helps families prepare for orderly transitions across generations. We bring together ownership structures, estate arrangements, governance, family communication, and professional advisers so that succession is planned before urgency, incapacity, or conflict determines the outcome.

Areas of focus

• Intergenerational wealth transfer
• Ownership and control succession
• Estate and inheritance coordination
• Family business continuity
• Incapacity and contingency planning
• Communication across generations

‍

‍

‍

As a family grows, informal decision-making often becomes more difficult. Different generations, family branches, personal priorities, and levels of involvement can create uncertainty around ownership, communication, distributions, and shared responsibilities.

Family governance provides a structured framework through which family members can discuss important matters, make decisions, and preserve alignment without allowing every issue to become personal.

L’Heritage helps families establish governance systems suited to their culture, complexity, and stage of development.

Areas of focus

• Family purpose, values, and shared direction
• Family council and decision-making structures
• Communication and information rights
• Ownership and distribution principles
• Family participation and conduct
• Conflict prevention and resolution

‍

Citizenship is a permanent legal relationship with a country. It should therefore be considered differently from a residence permit and assessed with particular care.

For internationally established families, an additional citizenship may support mobility, intergenerational continuity, personal security, or long-term geographic diversification. However, the decision may also affect existing nationality rights, reporting obligations, family governance, inheritance, and future tax exposure.

L’Heritage supports clients in evaluating citizenship pathways within a wider family and wealth-planning context.

Areas of focus

• Additional citizenship strategy
• Family and intergenerational inclusion
• Global mobility and travel access
• Nationality and dual-citizenship considerations
• Source-of-funds and enhanced due diligence
• Long-term legal, tax, and succession implications

‍

‍

Establishing a long-term presence in Thailand requires more than selecting a visa. The appropriate pathway should reflect the client’s intended length of stay, family circumstances, employment status, investment plans, property ownership, tax position, and wider international arrangements.

L’Heritage helps private clients and families evaluate Thailand residency as part of a structured second-base, relocation, retirement, investment, or regional business strategy.

Our approach connects immigration planning with property, investment, banking, company structuring, family logistics, and coordination with the client’s existing advisers. This reflects L’Heritage’s role as a Thailand-rooted strategic execution partner for internationally positioned families.

Areas of focus

• Long-term residence pathway selection
• Thailand as a second base
• Family relocation and dependent planning
• Property and investment alignment
• Business, employment, and work-authorisation considerations
• Long-term compliance and renewal planning

‍

Thailand’s Long-Term Resident Visa is designed for qualifying global investors, retirees, professionals, and internationally employed individuals seeking greater continuity in Thailand.

The programme may offer a ten-year residence framework, multiple-entry privileges, annual rather than standard 90-day reporting, immigration facilitation, and work-related benefits for qualifying categories. Eligibility is divided among Wealthy Global Citizens, Wealthy Pensioners, Highly Skilled Professionals, and Work-from-Thailand Professionals, with dependent applications available under programme conditions.

L’Heritage provides eligibility analysis, application coordination, and strategic alignment with investment, employment, insurance, property, and family requirements.

Areas of focus

• LTR category and eligibility assessment
• Wealth, income, investment, and employer evidence
• Insurance and financial safeguards
• Family and dependent applications
• Thai investment and property alignment
• Application coordination and post-approval activation

‍

Thailand Privilege provides a membership-based long-term stay option for international individuals and families seeking immigration convenience, predictable residence duration, and dedicated member support.

The programme offers membership packages with different validity periods, fees, points, supplementary-card options, and associated privileges. Benefits may include immigration assistance, airport support, a member contact centre, lifestyle privileges, and selected services accessed through privilege points.

L’Heritage helps clients assess whether Thailand Privilege is appropriate when compared with other long-term residence, retirement, employment, or investment-linked pathways.

Areas of focus

• Membership suitability and package selection
• Long-term stay and immigration convenience
• Individual and family membership planning
• Privilege-point and benefit assessment
• Application preparation and coordination
• Integration with relocation and property planning

‍

Property and residency are often considered together, but they should not be treated as a single transaction.

A property may support a qualifying residence strategy in certain jurisdictions, but its legal ownership, liquidity, financing, rental use, tax treatment, inheritance position, and exit restrictions may be equally important to the family’s long-term outcome.

L’Heritage coordinates property selection and residency planning so that the asset serves both its immediate purpose and the family’s wider wealth architecture.

Areas of focus

• Property-qualifying residence routes
• Legal ownership and title review
• Investment thresholds and transfer evidence
• Personal, joint, or corporate ownership
• Family use, rental, and lifestyle objectives
• Holding period, resale, and exit planning

‍

The most suitable jurisdiction is not necessarily the programme with the lowest investment threshold or the fastest advertised processing time.

For private families, the decision should consider residence rights, citizenship prospects, family inclusion, taxation, investment quality, physical-presence requirements, education, healthcare, business access, political stability, succession, and the programme’s long-term credibility.

L’Heritage provides structured country comparisons to help clients narrow multiple options into a defensible and practical mobility strategy.

Areas of focus

• Residency and citizenship programme comparisons
• Investment and liquidity requirements
• Physical-presence and renewal obligations
• Family, education, and lifestyle considerations
• Tax, reporting, and succession implications
• Programme stability and long-term strategic fit

‍

Residency by investment can provide more than permission to live in another country. When approached strategically, it can establish a second base, improve family mobility, support business interests, and contribute to long-term geographic diversification.

L’Heritage advises individuals and families on the selection and coordination of investment-linked residency programmes. We consider not only the qualifying investment, but also the wider implications for asset ownership, family participation, tax residency, succession, liquidity, and future mobility.

Areas of focus

• Investment-linked residence pathways
• Second-base and relocation planning
• Family-inclusive residency strategies
• Property and qualifying investment assessment
• Cross-border ownership and holding structures
• Long-term renewal and exit considerations

‍

The way a business is structured affects ownership, governance, liability, capital deployment, taxation, and future succession.

L’Heritage helps founders, families, and international investors design corporate structures that reflect how the business operates today while remaining adaptable to future investment, expansion, restructuring, or generational transition.

We coordinate with legal, tax, accounting, banking, and regulatory professionals to establish a clear and defensible corporate framework. The objective is not simply to incorporate an entity, but to ensure that ownership, control, risk, and commercial purpose remain properly aligned.

Areas of focus

• Ownership and shareholder structuring
• Legal entity and jurisdiction selection
• Separation of business and private assets
• Governance and decision-making authority
• Investment and capital-holding arrangements
• Future succession, exit, or restructuring readiness

‍

Entering a new jurisdiction requires more than establishing a local company. It involves aligning market strategy, ownership, regulatory permissions, taxation, banking, operational readiness, and local relationships.

L’Heritage helps international businesses and family-owned enterprises establish a structured presence in Thailand and Southeast Asia. We provide a coordinated pathway from initial market assessment through to local establishment and operational activation.

Our role is to connect commercial ambition with regulatory reality, ensuring that the expansion is appropriately structured, professionally coordinated, and consistent with the wider interests of the owners and family.

Areas of focus

• Market-entry strategy
• Local entity and ownership structure
• Licensing and regulatory coordination
• Banking and capital deployment
• Employment and mobility planning
• Local partnerships and operational setup

‍

Thailand offers a strategic base for businesses seeking access to Southeast Asia, but successful entry requires a clear understanding of local ownership rules, licensing, commercial practice, banking, employment, and regulatory expectations.

L’Heritage supports international founders, businesses, and investors in assessing how to establish a credible and sustainable presence in Thailand.

We combine local coordination with an international advisory perspective, helping clients move from initial feasibility to structured implementation without treating market entry as a simple incorporation exercise.

Areas of focus

• Thailand business-entry feasibility
• Foreign ownership and licensing
• Local company establishment
• Investment promotion assessment
• Banking, capital, and operational setup
• Executive relocation and work authorisation

‍

As family and business interests expand, direct ownership across multiple companies, investments, properties, and jurisdictions can create fragmentation, unclear control, inefficient reporting, and increased succession risk.

A holding company can provide a central ownership layer through which operating businesses, investment assets, intellectual property, or regional interests are governed and monitored.

L’Heritage helps clients assess whether a holding structure is appropriate and how it should be integrated with tax residency, governance, banking, asset protection, and succession planning.

Areas of focus

• Consolidated ownership and control
• Operating and investment asset separation
• Regional or international holding structures
• Shareholder governance and voting rights
• Dividend and capital-flow coordination
• Succession and future ownership transition

‍

Banking relationships are essential to the effective operation of international structures, investments, businesses, and family wealth. Yet account opening and ongoing banking have become increasingly documentation-intensive, particularly where clients hold assets or entities across multiple jurisdictions.

L’Heritage helps private clients, families, and businesses prepare for and coordinate banking relationships in Thailand and internationally.

Our role is to present the client, source of wealth, source of funds, ownership structure, and intended account activity in a clear and coherent manner while coordinating with banks and appointed professional advisers.

Areas of focus

• Private and corporate banking preparation
• Source-of-wealth and source-of-funds documentation
• Entity and ownership presentation
• Transaction and account-purpose planning
• Multi-bank relationship coordination
• Ongoing banking and compliance support

‍

When individuals, families, businesses, or assets span multiple jurisdictions, tax questions cannot be addressed in isolation. Residence, citizenship, domicile, ownership, income flows, inheritance, entity management, and reporting obligations may interact across several legal systems.

L’Heritage coordinates the relevant tax and legal advisers so that decisions are considered from a consolidated cross-border perspective.

We do not replace jurisdiction-specific tax counsel. Our role is to identify areas requiring advice, organise the facts, facilitate communication, and help ensure that recommendations from different advisers are understood and implemented coherently.

Areas of focus

• Individual tax residence and domicile
• Corporate tax residence and substance
• Cross-border income and distributions
• Estate, inheritance, and gift taxation
• FATCA, CRS, and reporting coordination
• Adviser alignment across jurisdictions

‍

Philanthropy is most effective when generosity is supported by clear purpose, disciplined governance, and a long-term framework.

L’Heritage helps individuals and families define how their philanthropic capital can reflect personal convictions, family values, and the legacy they wish to establish. We move beyond isolated donations to create a considered strategy covering priorities, decision-making, implementation, and impact assessment.

Our role is to help families determine not only where to give, but why, how, through which structures, and with what level of family participation.

Areas of focus

• Philanthropic purpose and family values
• Giving priorities and thematic focus
• Geographic and beneficiary strategy
• Family participation and decision-making
• Grant-making and implementation models
• Impact measurement and long-term review

‍

A family foundation can provide continuity, governance, and institutional discipline to a family’s philanthropic activities. It can also create a shared platform through which generations participate in a common purpose.

Establishing a foundation requires more than forming a legal entity. Families must consider purpose, jurisdiction, governance, funding, tax treatment, administration, grant-making, succession, and long-term operating capacity.

L’Heritage helps families assess whether a foundation is appropriate and coordinates the design, establishment, governance, and ongoing administration with qualified legal, tax, and philanthropic advisers.

Areas of focus

• Foundation purpose and mission
• Jurisdiction and legal structure
• Governance and board composition
• Endowment and funding policy
• Grant-making and operating procedures
• Generational participation and continuity

‍

Impact investing seeks to generate measurable social or environmental benefit alongside financial return. For families, it can create a bridge between investment capital, philanthropic purpose, and long-term stewardship.

L’Heritage helps families assess how impact objectives can be incorporated into an existing portfolio without losing sight of risk, liquidity, governance, and financial discipline.

We support the development of a clear investment thesis, opportunity-assessment framework, portfolio allocation, due diligence, and impact-reporting approach in coordination with investment managers and specialist advisers.

Areas of focus

• Impact objectives and investment thesis
• Thematic and geographic allocation
• Risk, return, and liquidity expectations
• Manager and opportunity selection
• Impact measurement and reporting
• Portfolio integration and governance

‍

Relocating to Thailand involves more than arranging a visa and securing a residence. Families must coordinate immigration, housing, banking, education, healthcare, household arrangements, transportation, and everyday administration—often within a limited timeframe.

L’Heritage provides a coordinated relocation pathway for individuals and families establishing a primary residence, second home, or longer-term presence in Thailand.

We bring together the practical, administrative, and lifestyle elements of relocation under one point of coordination, helping clients settle with greater clarity, continuity, and discretion.

Areas of focus

• Pre-arrival planning and relocation strategy
• Residency and immigration coordination
• Residential search and move-in support
• Banking and essential administration
• Family, education, and healthcare arrangements
• Local orientation and ongoing settlement support

‍

A residence requires consistent oversight, particularly when the owner travels frequently, maintains several properties, or spends only part of the year in Thailand.

L’Heritage coordinates the practical stewardship of private residences, helping ensure that the property, household, service providers, and routine obligations are managed according to the owner’s expectations.

Our approach is based on visibility, accountability, and continuity. The objective is not simply to respond when something goes wrong, but to maintain an organised framework through which the residence is cared for over time.

Areas of focus

• Property and household oversight
• Preventive maintenance coordination
• Household staff and service providers
• Owner-arrival and departure preparation
• Expenses, records, and administrative reporting
• Renovation and project coordination

‍

Education decisions are closely connected to relocation, family priorities, language, curriculum, future university pathways, and the child’s wider adjustment to a new environment.

L’Heritage supports families in navigating education and family arrangements in Thailand, from initial school research through admissions coordination and practical settlement.

Our role is to organise the process, clarify options, and connect families with suitable institutions and specialists while respecting the needs, privacy, and long-term direction of each child.

Areas of focus

• School and curriculum assessment
• Admissions and application coordination
• Family relocation and transition planning
• Tutors and specialist educational support
• Childcare and household support
• Extracurricular and enrichment activities
