Legal & Tax

Buying as a Foreigner in Bangkok

Foreigners cannot own land
Thai law prohibits foreigners from owning land freehold. Condominiums are the primary legal vehicle — foreigners can own up to 49% of a condo building's total area.
Condo freehold allowed (49% quota)
Foreign quota condos are fully legal and common. Ensure the building has remaining foreign quota before purchasing.
No capital gains tax for individuals
Thailand does not levy capital gains tax on individuals. Rental income is subject to 15% withholding tax for non-residents.
30-year leasehold as alternative
Long-term leaseholds (30+30+30 years) are used for landed property. Legal but carries renewal risk — structure carefully with a Thai lawyer.

This information is for general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice. Always consult a qualified local lawyer before purchasing property abroad.
