Frequently asked questions
Can I own a condominium 100% in my own name?+
Yes, provided the unit falls within the building's 49% foreign quota. The title deed (chanote for condominiums, called an or chor 2) is issued in your name.
Is a 30-year lease safe?+
A lease registered at the Land Office is legally protected for its full term. Renewal clauses are contractual promises rather than registered rights, so we structure and explain them carefully.
Can I get a mortgage as a foreigner?+
Some Thai and international banks offer loans to foreigners under specific conditions; most foreign buyers purchase with funds transferred from abroad. We can introduce lenders where relevant.
Can my Thai spouse buy land?+
Yes. A Thai spouse can own land, generally with a declaration that the funds are their separate property. We explain the implications for both parties.
