Here some frequently asked questions  from our clients.

Under the Thailand Civil and Commercial Code foreigners have the same property rights as are available to Thai nationals, however, it is under the Land Code Act B.E. 2497 (1954) prohibited for foreigners to own land in Thailand. As ownership of land is an essential element of any real estate (land and house) ownership it leads to the conclusion that, besides an apartment in a licensed condominium, there is NO freehold ownership of real estate (land and house) available for foreigners in Thailand. A Foreigner can legally lease the land for 30 years, and register the lease, or in partnership with Thai citizen purchase the land under a Thai Co. Ltd.

Yes, a foreigner  can own the Freehold of the property  If the  apartment is in a licensed condominium, in this case the apartment will be in his name and he have the full property rights.

A leasehold in  is not a real property right  but a personal  contract right of the lessee.  The lessee cannot buy or sell his lease unless the owner is willing to cooperate.  A Leasehold can be registered up to 30 years per term and the registration fees is 1.1% of the declared amount.
