Expert Guidance on Foreign Ownership Structures
Condominium Freehold: Foreign nationals can own a condominium 100% in their own name, provided that the total foreign ownership in the building does not exceed 49% of the total unit space. We will verify the foreign quota for you.
Leasehold: A popular and secure option for land and houses. Foreigners can lease land for a maximum of 30 years, with options for renewal. We ensure your lease agreement is structured to offer maximum protection for your long-term rights.
Thai Company Setup: A Thai limited company can own land. While foreigners are limited to 49% of the shares, this can be a viable structure. We can connect you with trusted legal advisors to ensure your company is set up and maintained correctly.
Usufruct & Superficies: These registered rights allow a foreigner to have exclusive use of a property (and any structures on it) for their lifetime. This is a common and effective strategy, especially for a foreign spouse of a Thai national.
Married to a Thai National: We provide clear advice on how a Thai spouse can legally purchase land as their personal property, ensuring all legal declarations are correctly handled to protect the asset.
Legal Due Diligence Before any purchase, we conduct a thorough investigation of the propertys title deed (Chanote) at the Land Department. This ensures the property is free from any debts, liens, or legal disputes, giving you complete peace of mind.
International Money Transfer Guidance To comply with Thai law for a freehold condo purchase, funds must be transferred into Thailand in a foreign currency. We will guide you through the process to ensure your bank issues the required Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) Form, which is essential for registering your ownership.
Interpreter & Document Translation All official contracts and government documents are in Thai. We provide professional interpreters for meetings and at the Land Department, as well as translation services to ensure you understand every detail of the paperwork you are signing.
Mortgage Application Assistance While challenging, some banks in Thailand offer mortgages to qualified foreigners (often requiring a work permit and a stable income). We can provide information and connect you with our partner banking institutions.
Handling Taxes and Transfer Fees We provide a clear breakdown of all applicable government fees and taxes associated with your property purchase, including the transfer fee, stamp duty or specific business tax, and withholding tax, so there are no surprises on the transfer day.
