Frequently Asked Questions
Buying property in Thailand can be an exciting venture, but it often comes with various legal, financial, and practical considerations. Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to help guide you through the process:
Yes, but with restrictions. Foreigners can buy condominiums outright (up to 49% of the total units in a building). However, they cannot directly own land. For land, foreigners often lease it for up to 30 years or set up a Thai company to purchase it.
- Freehold: You own the property outright and indefinitely. Foreigners can hold freehold title for condos.
- Leasehold: A long-term lease (often 30 years, renewable twice) with ownership reverting to the lessor after the lease term.
- Superficies: Allows foreigners to build a structure on land they don’t own.
- Usufruct: Grants the right to use and enjoy the benefits of someone else’s land or property for a limited time, often up to 30 years.
Generally, no, but there are a few workarounds:
- Leasing the land for up to 30 years (with potential extensions).
- Forming a Thai company (requires at least 51% Thai ownership).

- Stamp Duty: 0.5% (waived if SBT applies).
- Income Tax: Calculated based on progressive tax rates or a fixed rate if a company is involved.
- Cash Purchases: The most common method, with funds coming from abroad in foreign currency.
- Foreign Currency Loans: Some Thai banks offer mortgage loans to foreigners, but usually, only a few banks do this.
- Offshore Financing: Loans from banks in your home country or an international lender.
- Due Diligence: Engage a lawyer to verify the property’s legal status and ownership.
- Sales Agreement: Sign an agreement outlining the purchase price, payment schedule, and transfer date.
