Power of Attorney for Gift of Land (Thai Department of Lands, T.D. 21)

หนังสือมอบอำนาจ (ท.ด. 21) is the standard power of attorney form of Thailand’s Department of Lands (กรมที่ดิน). This version has the subject “ให้ที่ดิน” — gift of land — printed on it. With it the landowner (principal) authorises another person (agent) to register the gift of the plot at the Land Office on his or her behalf: file the application, give statements to the officer and sign until the registration is completed.

The form records the land as shown on the title deed (โฉนด): map sheet, land number, survey page, deed number, sub-district, district and province. The powers text already says the land is given “โดยเสน่หา ไม่มีค่าตอบแทน” — out of affection, without consideration; the building on the land (if given with it) and the donee are written into it. The form is filled in in Thai.

• the principal — the landowner named on the title deed (ผู้มอบอำนาจ), who is also the donor;
• the agent — the person who goes to the Land Office (ผู้รับมอบอำนาจ);
• the donee — the person who receives the land; named in the powers text;
• two witnesses who certify the principal’s signature or fingerprint.

If the agent is the donee or represents the donee, the note on the form requires adding consent that the agent acts both in his or her own name and on behalf of the other party.

• place and date (year in the Buddhist Era, พ.ศ.);
• land details from the โฉนด title deed;
• name, Thai ID number, age, race, nationality, parents’ names, address and phone of the principal and of the agent;
• the building on the land (house, building or shophouse, storeys, house number) — if given together with the land;
• the donee’s title and name;
• signatures of the principal and two witnesses — by hand.

• the original title deed (โฉนดที่ดิน);
• copies of the principal’s ID card and house registration, signed by the principal;
• the agent’s ID card or passport;
• where relevant — marital status documents or the spouse’s consent, documents showing the relationship to the donee.

The exact list, fees, taxes and processing time are not stated on the form — check with the Land Office (สำนักงานที่ดิน) where the land is registered. Under Thai law a foreigner generally cannot acquire land, including by gift, so check this in advance.

1. Open the chat on this page and describe the gift in any language: who gives, who will act as agent, which plot and to whom.
2. Send photos of the title deed and ID cards or answer the questions — the assistant writes the data in Thai script and converts the year to พ.ศ.
3. Check the fields and download the PDF.
4. Print it, sign it before two witnesses and hand it to the agent with the title deed and copies of documents.
