Property types for foreigners
Apartments and condos (7,744 listings) are the safest option for foreigners because freehold ownership is possible. Houses (5,734) and villas (1,499) are popular but come with land-ownership issues. Land (2,020 listings) cannot be owned freehold by foreigners. Commercial properties and penthouses are smaller segments.
Bedrooms are spread evenly: 3,863 one-bedroom, 3,498 two-bedroom, 3,916 three-bedroom and 3,847 with four or more.
The rules: what foreigners can own
Thai law prohibits foreigners from owning land. The usual options are:
- Condominium freehold: foreigners can own units in a registered condominium provided foreign ownership across the building does not exceed 49% of the total unit area. Funds must be brought into Thailand from abroad in foreign currency, with a foreign exchange transaction form issued by the bank.
- Leasehold: a lease of up to 30 years on land or a house, often with renewal options that are not legally guaranteed. Register the lease at the Land Department.
- Usufruct or superficies: rights to use or build on land, which can be registered.
- Thai company: commonly marketed, but heavily scrutinised, and nominee structures can be unlawful. Avoid them without independent legal advice.
Buying steps
- Choose a property and hire an independent Thai lawyer.
- Check the title deed (Chanote for land) and the condominium's foreign quota.
- Sign a reservation agreement and pay a deposit.
- Sign the sale and purchase agreement.
- Transfer funds from abroad and obtain the foreign exchange transaction form.
- Transfer ownership at the Land Department.
Costs and taxes
Fees are shared between buyer and seller by negotiation. Ranges are approximate; verify locally.
| Cost | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Transfer fee | Approx. 2% of the appraised value, often split |
| Specific business tax or stamp duty (seller) | Approx. 3.3% if sold within 5 years, otherwise approx. 0.5% |
| Withholding tax (seller) | Variable, based on appraised value |
| Agent commission | Approx. 3% to 5%, usually seller |
| Annual land and building tax | Low for residential, approx. 0.02% to 0.1% |
In Thailand a foreigner's strongest position is a condo in a building with spare foreign quota, because that is the only mainstream freehold route.
Financing
Thai banks rarely lend to foreign buyers who do not hold work permits or long-term residence, so most purchases are paid for in cash or via developer instalment plans for off-plan projects. Some banks will lend to foreigners with Thai income. See our Thailand financing guide and the mortgage calculator.
Visas and residency
Property ownership does not by itself provide a visa. Foreigners buying condos often combine ownership with retirement, long-stay, elite or long-term resident visas, each with its own conditions. Thresholds and rules change, so confirm them with the Thai Immigration Bureau or a Thai lawyer.
Rental yields and exit planning
Rental demand in Thailand follows tourism and expatriate cycles. Bangkok condos near rail stations attract corporate tenants, Pattaya and Phuket depend on holiday and long-stay visitors, and Chiang Mai draws remote workers. Short-term letting in condominiums is restricted in many buildings, so check the juristic person's rules and the law before relying on nightly rental income.
Plan the exit before you buy. Resale of a foreign-quota condo is only possible to another foreign buyer if quota remains, or to a Thai buyer. Older buildings and remote developments can take a long time to sell. Run an asking price through the valuation tool and compare against several recent listings in the same building.

Buying property in Thailand: FAQ
Can foreigners buy property in Thailand?
Yes, but not land. Foreigners can own condominium units freehold, within a 49% foreign quota per building, or lease land and houses for up to 30 years.
How much do properties cost in Thailand?
The median asking price in current listings on RealEstateAbroad is €187,735 but prices range widely from cheap plots to luxury villas. Check each location's page for local medians.
What is the 49% foreign quota?
A condominium can sell up to 49% of its total unit area to foreigners. Beyond that, further units can only be sold to Thai nationals, so ask the juristic person to confirm remaining quota.
Can I get a mortgage in Thailand as a foreigner?
Rarely. Most foreign buyers pay cash or use developer payment plans. Read our Thailand mortgage guide for options.
What taxes apply when buying in Thailand?
The main purchase cost is a transfer fee of approximately 2% of the appraised value, usually shared. Sellers pay business tax or stamp duty and withholding tax. Verify rates locally.
Does buying property in Thailand give me a visa?
Not by itself. You still need an appropriate visa category, such as a retirement or long-term resident visa, and each has its own requirements.
Is it safe to buy off-plan in Thailand?
It can be, with due diligence. Check the developer's track record, the permits and the payment schedule, and have a lawyer review the contract.
