Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. All transactions go through the Land Department — the state land department. Title transfers are officially recorded, and documents are checked by lawyers before registration. We only work with verified developers and properties.
- Foreigners can own condominiums (apartments) with full ownership rights (Freehold) within the 49% quota limit in the project. For purchases outside the quota, long-term leasehold (30 years with extension options) is used. This is a legal and common practice.
- Average rental yield is 6–9% per annum, in tourist areas (Phuket/Pattaya) — 10–12%. Property value appreciation is 20–30% over 3–4 years due to tourist flow and infrastructure development.
- Entry threshold:
- studios and small apartments — from $90–120k,
- liquid projects in Phuket — from $150–200k,
- villas — from $350–450k.
- Yes, more than half of transactions are done remotely. We conduct online viewings, provide reports, and organize registration via power of attorney. Original documents (Chanote/contracts) are delivered to the client after deal completion.

- many investors stay 3–4 months a year on a tourist visa,
- long-term visas (Elite Visa) for 5–20 years are available.
- We advise on all legal stay options.
- The most in-demand:
- condos near beaches,
