1. Can I Own a Condo in My Own Name as a Foreigner?
Yes, you can own a condo in your own name without needing a Thai company or special visas. Thai law allows foreigners to own a portion of the units in a condominium building.
2. What's the Buying Process Like?
The process is relatively straightforward. You put down a deposit, sign a contract, transfer the money to the bank, and provide necessary documents like a foreign exchange transcript. The developer often assists with these steps.
3. Taxes and Fees
Taxes and fees can vary depending on your agreement with the seller. Typically, buyers may need to pay a transfer fee of around 1.5% of the property value. Property tax is also applicable, typically around 10% of the annual rental value.
4. Due Diligence is Key
Due diligence is crucial when investing in Thai real estate, especially for high-value properties. Ensure that the property has a clear and legitimate title to avoid potential issues.
5. Renovations and Modifications
You can renovate or modify your condo, but larger projects may require permits. Consult with local authorities to ensure compliance.
6. Buying Secondhand Condos
Check the quota of the building before purchasing a secondhand condo. Some buildings have restrictions on the number of foreign-owned units.
7. Dealing with Real Estate Agents
Always conduct due diligence on real estate agents. Research their reputation and ensure they have a good track record in the industry.
8. Owning a Condo and Staying in Thailand
Owning a condo doesn't grant automatic residency in Thailand. Visa requirements are separate from property ownership.
9. Benefits of Property Ownership
Some property developments may offer additional benefits like eligibility for Thailand Elite visas for high-value investments.
10. Protect Your Investment with a Prenuptial Agreement - Consider a prenuptial agreement to safeguard your property investment, especially if you have a Thai partner or plan to marry in the future.
In summary, buying a condo in Thailand as a foreigner is possible and relatively straightforward. However, it's essential to do your homework, understand the associated taxes and fees, and consider legal protections like prenuptial agreements to ensure a smooth and secure investment. If you have more questions or specific requirements, don't hesitate to contact a legal expert or real estate professional for guidance.

Biggest question is, financing. As a foreigner, what options are available for paying for the condo? Does it need to be all cash, do condo associations provide internal financing with a down payment? Thanks
@THAILANDEASY_

They need cash. Cash from the abroad only, although there are ways how to make it work with cash earned in Thailand too. You can ger finance from Thai Bank as long as you are the resident with the required income

Hello! If the condo is built , you transfer your name withing a day. Check my video with Condominium ready for sale in Samui kzread.info/dash/bejne/mn2kj7RshrenlKQ.html And the one under development kzread.info/dash/bejne/gpp1k8-aqNzdhJs.html (you get your keys in Summer 2024)

What happens if they don't honour your visa after buying a condo? Also how much would an elite visa cost and is it better than a retirement one? thanks
@THAILANDEASY_
4 ай бұрын
Retirement Visa is much cheaper but need renewal every year. For the Elite Visa 5-year memberships: The new GOLD Package costs 900,000 THB. 10-year memberships: The new PLATINUM package costs 1.5 million THB.
Next question: how to get permanent residency and potentially citizenship.

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

The biggest disadvantage is you will not get any complimentary visa like they give in UAE🇦🇪 or any middle east country, i have money i can buy a condo , but 😂 indian national gets only 15 day visa on arrival, nowadays they are making thailand very expensive, increasing the price of elite visa also, lots of good options in laos 🇱🇦 Cambodia 🇰🇭 and Vietnam 🇻🇳
