Investment Features
- Restrictions on foreign land ownershipForeign investors can own a condominium, but not the land beneath a villa—a lease or a corporate structure is required. This is important to consider when choosing the type of property and a long-term ownership strategy.
- Dependence of resort facilities on the seasonRental demand on islands and resorts can fluctuate seasonally. For stability, investors often choose projects with professional management and guaranteed occupancy.
- The difference in quality between developersThe market includes both large developers and small local companies. Before purchasing, it's important to check the developer's reputation, the legal transparency of the project, and the history of completed projects.
- Правовые нюансы при сдаче в краткосрочную арендуNot all projects allow daily rentals, and some areas have restrictions. Investors should choose properties officially oriented toward hotel or tourism use.
- Legal nuances when renting out property for short-term rentAnnual maintenance fees vary depending on the class, infrastructure, and management model. This impacts net profitability and should be considered in advance.
- Currency fluctuations and settlements in Thai bahtMost transactions, maintenance payments, and rental income are conducted in baht, which can create currency fluctuations when converted to rubles or dollars. Investors take this into account when calculating long-term returns.
Frequently Asked Questions
We remove doubts and answer frequently asked questions
Yes. Foreigners can own a condominium apartment if the property falls within the foreign quota (up to 49% of the area). This is the most transparent and secure form of ownership for non-residents.
Key factors include the developer's land rights, the project's condominium registration status, and the availability of foreign land. These factors directly impact your ability to register your property.
The registration process takes place at the land department, where the developer's documents, the purchase agreement, and the property's status are confirmed. All procedures are standardized, and the process itself is conducted in the presence of the buyer or their authorized representative.
The investor pays a transfer fee and, upon sale, withholding taxes, which are calculated individually. Annual municipal taxes and management fees should also be factored in in advance.
Yes. Rental income is taxable in Thailand, and actual yield depends on the region, season, and property management system.
The market performs well when located correctly, but there is seasonality and dependence on tourist flow. It's important for investors to evaluate returns on an annual basis, not month-to-month.
Foreign investors can obtain a mortgage, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Banks require verified foreign income and provide financing under more conservative parameters.
A sale is possible, but only if there is a free foreign quota in the project. If the quota is full, the property may be sold to a resident, which sometimes affects the exhibition period.
Some regions have restrictions on short-term rentals (up to 30 days). Before launching a rental management service, it's important to check local regulations and choose a legal operating format.
Most projects meet deadlines, but delays are possible due to weather delays, inspections, or planning adjustments. It's important for investors to factor in a buffer, especially when calculating payback.
Investors can appoint a trusted representative or lawyer to conduct negotiations, review documents, and witness the property transfer. All key stages can be coordinated remotely and monitored online.
