Your right to bail bond services
Under the Thai Criminal Procedure Code, every defendant has the fundamental right to apply for bail, provided the offense does not carry a penalty of death or life imprisonment. The court requires a "security" (asset, cash, or government status) to mitigate flight risk.
Important for foreigners: courts often require higher security amounts and may impose travel restrictions, such as surrender of a passport.
How bail bond works in Thailand
Our role is to manage this process efficiently and lawfully, reducing delays and ensuring all requirements are properly handled.
Bail amount determination
The police officer or court determines whether bail is allowed and sets the required amount based on the offence and flight risk.
Security requirement
Bail may require cash, assets, or a guarantor. Foreign nationals often require higher security amounts.
Bail application submission
Our lawyers prepare and submit the bail application, ensuring all documents meet procedural requirements.
Court or authority review
The presiding officer or judge reviews the application and may impose conditions such as travel restrictions.
Release upon approval
Once bail is approved and security accepted, the detained person is released subject to the court's conditions.
