Q1005. How does bail work in a Thai criminal case?
Answered by the NYC Visa & Translation legal team
Provisional release is the starting principle under Sections 107 to 108/1 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and refusal must rest on statutory grounds such as flight risk or interference with evidence. Security can take several forms — cash, land title deeds with a valuation, bank passbooks with a bank certificate, a bail insurance bond, or in some cases a government official's position. Amounts follow the Office of the Judiciary's standard schedule for the offence charged, which is revised periodically, so confirm the current figure with the court hearing the case. Talk it through with our Thai-licensed lawyers by phone, LINE or email before you act.
