Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. A foreigner can own a condominium unit outright (freehold) within the foreign quota — up to 49% of the building's living area. Land and villas can't be registered in a foreigner's own name directly, but this is solved through a long-term lease (leasehold) or a Thai company.

Freehold is full ownership with no time limit, available for condo units within the foreign quota. Leasehold is a long-term lease (usually 30 years with renewal options), used for villas, land and units beyond the quota. For each property we explain the pros and risks of each option.

In every condominium up to 49% of the total living area can be owned freehold by foreigners. If the quota is used up, a unit is registered as leasehold or through a company. Before the deal we check the remaining quota in the specific building.

Yes, but a foreigner doesn't register the land in their own name directly. A leasehold on the plot or a purchase through a Thai company is used. We help you choose the correct and safe ownership structure before the deal.

Not necessarily. We run deals remotely: video viewing, document checks, power of attorney and a lawyer. That said, for higher-budget purchases we recommend at least a one-day visit to assess the area and the property's condition in person.

In short: reservation and deposit → document and terms check → contract → payment → registration at the Land Office → handover. On the resale market this usually takes from a few days to a couple of weeks; for new builds it depends on the developer's terms.

Typically the registration fee, stamp duty or specific business tax, and for new builds a sinking-fund contribution and a management-company prepayment. We calculate the exact estimate for the specific property before any deposit.

For registering the title, the correct payment purpose and banking documents matter (for freehold — the FET form). We coordinate settlements with the bank and lawyer and help arrange the transfer so there are no problems with registration or a future sale.

Yes. We help prepare the property, assess the rate, find a tenant and oversee move-in and payments. The yield depends on the area, the property type and the rental format — long-term or seasonal.

For the buyer, the realtor's services are free — the seller or developer pays the commission. You get property selection, due diligence, transaction support and post-purchase help without paying separately for our work.
