Thailand property for sale, with expert help

Yes. Foreigners can own a condominium unit freehold in their own name, but foreign ownership in each building is capped at 49% of the saleable area, so check that the foreign quota is still available before you buy. Land and houses generally cannot be owned directly by foreigners.

The purchase money must arrive in Thailand in foreign currency from abroad, and the Thai bank issues a foreign exchange certificate (FET form or Credit Advice, stating the purpose as buying the condo and its unit number). The Land Office checks it at transfer. Confirm the transfer wording with your consultant before sending.

Typically: a transfer fee of about 2% of the appraised value (often split between buyer and seller, as agreed in the contract); withholding tax of about 1% (seller); and specific business tax of 3.3% if sold within 5 years, or 0.5% stamp duty after 5 years (seller). The Land Office rules and your contract prevail.

Yes. We can show you the unit on a video call, and you can appoint a representative with a power of attorney (POA) to complete the transfer at the Land Office; the POA must be signed and certified as required. For a first purchase we still recommend viewing in person once.

Prices, availability and foreign quota change, and each page shows its update date. Contact our consultant before committing — we confirm everything with the building and owner on the day.
