Real estate law: Freehold and leasehold acquisitions

Full ownership

Apartment

It is possible for a foreigner to buy a freehold apartment in Thailand under the following conditions:

• Buying in a building with a Condominium License
• Acquire it within the “foreign quota”, which represents 49% of the residence’s living area.
• Transfer all funds covering the purchase from abroad in foreign currency.

Example: You can buy a fully-equipped apartment for €100,000 in a well-known seaside resort, and benefit from contractual returns of 7%/year net with full hotel management.

Leasehold acquisition

House

It is possible to buy a house. Since the law does not allow a foreigner to own land in his own name, the legal solution is :

• Leasehold: lease for a maximum of 30 years, renewable up to 2 times, depending on the terms of the contract.

Example: You can buy a three-bedroom house with a swimming pool for €200,000.

Resale

You are free to resell your property as freely as you acquired it, and to repatriate the funds to your country of origin.
