Many foreigners are interested in living in Thailand and are starting to consider buying real estate in Thailand.

There are many other options besides buying land or land, villas or condominiums. Foreign buyers should familiarize themselves with and comply with Thai laws relating to real estate purchases prior to purchase.

That's why it's a good idea to consult with a real estate professional.

Buying Real Estate - Condo

Generally, foreigners can purchase a condo with 100% own ownership.

But at the same time, there is a need for development quotas for condominiums by foreign investment. Foreigners must meet development quotas for condos they purchase and own 100% of the time. There are also specific fees associated with condo ownership, as well as rules about where the funds come from. So while buying a condo at face value may seem less complicated than buying any other type of residence, it's best to research the properties offered by a real estate professional. You should proceed carefully and review the paperwork ahead of time to prepare for the unexpected.
