Standard fees include a 2% transfer fee, 3.3% Specific Business Tax (if owned < 5 years), and 0.5% Stamp Duty. Note: Government stimulus measures may reduce transfer fees to 0.01% for qualifying properties until June 2026. Contact us for a current tax calculation.

Yes, but with specific conditions. Banks like UOB or ICBC often provide loans to foreigners with a work permit or those married to Thais. LTV (Loan-to-Value) typically ranges from 50% to 70%.

Ownership alone does not grant a visa. However, high-value investments may qualify you for the Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa or the Thailand Privilege Card program.

No. Property ownership and visas are separate. Some long-term visa programs can be considered separately.

You can lease land for up to 30 years (registered). Many leases include renewal options, and you can usually own the house itself.

While not legally required, hiring an independent lawyer is highly recommended to protect your interests. A legal expert performs critical "Due Diligence" which includes:

• Title Deed Verification: Ensuring the property has a legal title (like Chanote) and that the seller is the rightful owner.

• Encumbrance Check: Verifying that the property is not mortgaged, liened, or involved in any court disputes.

• Contract Review: Tailoring the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) to include fair exit clauses and penalty protections.

• Foreign Quota Confirmation: For condos, a lawyer confirms that the building still has available "Foreign Freehold" space within the 49% limit.

• Building Permit & Zoning: Ensuring the project has been built according to approved plans and environmental regulations (EIA).
