How to Buy in Bangkok
- 01Before you search
Define your budget & goals
Are you buying to live in, rent out, or as a long-term investment? Your goal shapes everything — location, property type, and size.
Tip: Keep about 1–2% of the price aside for your share of the transfer fee, plus a one-off sinking fund if the building is new.
- 02Before viewing
Understand the legal framework
Foreigners can own a condo unit freehold, within the building's 49% foreign quota. Land can't be owned by a foreigner, so houses are usually held on a registered lease of up to 30 years.
Tip: Ask for the building's remaining foreign quota before you fall for a unit — a full quota means you can't take it freehold.
- 03Weeks 1–3
Shortlist & view properties
Our agents will arrange viewings and provide honest market-rate assessments so you know exactly what you're getting.
Tip: Compare the same unit type in two or three buildings: price per m² says more than the asking price.
- 04Before the deposit
Due diligence & offer
We verify title deeds, check for encumbrances, and help you make an offer at the right price.
Tip: The juristic office's letter confirming common fees are paid up is required at transfer — ask for it early.
- 05Transfer day
Transfer & completion
We accompany you to the Land Department for the title transfer. You pay the agreed purchase price, taxes, and transfer fees.
Tip: Send the money from abroad in foreign currency, in your name, stating it is for a condo purchase — the bank's record of it is what makes a foreign freehold transfer possible.
What can a foreigner own?
The short version of Thai ownership rules for international buyers.
Yes, freehold
A condo unit
Registered in your own name, as long as foreign owners hold no more than 49% of the building's saleable area. The purchase money must come from abroad in foreign currency.

Land
A foreigner can't hold land in their own name. The usual route is a lease registered at the Land Department, for up to 30 years.
Building only
A house
You can own the house itself, but not the land under it — the land is typically leased. Ask us before you commit to a structure.

Buyer FAQ
Are foreigners allowed to buy property in Thailand?
Yes. Foreigners can have freehold ownership of a condominium with a Thai title deed (Chanote), within each building's 49% foreign quota. They cannot own land directly, but can hold houses, townhouses or villas indirectly through a Thai company (Thais must hold at least 51%) or a long-term leasehold. A limited 1-rai exception exists for a 40-million-baht qualified investment.
What is the difference between freehold and leasehold in Thailand?
Freehold owners have full, permanent rights to the property with no restrictions on transfer or modification, making it better for resale and lower in overall tax. Leasehold owners sign a contract for a limited period, usually up to 30 years, with limited rights. When buying leasehold, check the transfer clauses, the property's valuation and the lease period carefully.
What taxes are involved when transferring property in Thailand?
Four main charges apply: a 2% transfer fee on the appraised value, specific business tax of 3.3% if sold within 5 years (otherwise 0.5% stamp duty), and withholding tax of 1% for companies or a progressive rate for individuals. Taxes are based on the government-appraised value, which since 2022 has been brought closer to market value for condos.
Is there an annual property tax for foreigners in Thailand?
Yes. The 2020 Land and Building Tax Act introduced an annual property tax for both foreigners and locals. For residential property the rate is 0.3% of the appraised value, which is re-evaluated every four years. It is charged on property owned as of 1 January and is payable from April of the same year.
Is there inheritance tax on property in Thailand?
Yes. Under the Inheritance Tax Act of 2015, any inheritance above 100 million baht, including property, is taxable. The rate is 5% for direct family heirs and 10% for anyone else. Spouses are exempt regardless of the value inherited. Estate planning matters for foreign owners with significant Thai property holdings.
Can foreigners get a home loan to buy a condo in Thailand?
It is difficult. Most Thai banks do not lend to non-residents, so foreign buyers usually need a Thai work permit and proof of local income to qualify. Some lenders and a few banks' overseas branches offer loans to foreigners on stricter terms. Many buyers instead use finance from their home country or a developer payment plan to fund the purchase.
Guides for buyers

Does a Bangkok Condo Come With a Tabien Baan — and Must You Move Into It?
Every condo unit already has its own house-registration book, and you receive it at transfer. Moving your name into it is optional and does not affect ownership — but one year of registration switches the tax you pay on sale from 3.3% to 0.5%.

Selling a Bangkok Condo That Still Has a Mortgage on It
You do not have to clear the loan before you sell. The mortgage is redeemed out of the buyer’s payment at the Land Office on transfer day, and the balance goes to you. The number that decides everything is the bank’s payoff figure — and if the sale price falls short of it, the seller makes up the difference in cash.
