Can a Foreigner Buy a Condominium in Thailand?
Simplifying the Process with The McGee Real Estate
Thailand is an alluring destination for many foreigners, offering incredible landscapes, vibrant culture, and a unique blend of tradition and modernity. In addition, the opportunity to own property in the form of condominiums attracts many individuals and investors alike. The all-important question emerges – “Can a foreigner buy a condominium in Thailand?” The straightforward answer is yes, they can. And with professionals like The McGee Real Estate at your side, the journey becomes significantly more manageable.
Understanding the Framework
In Thailand, the Condominium Act B.E. 2522 (1979) governs
the ownership of condominiums. While foreigners are generally prohibited from
owning freehold land, this restriction does not extend to buildings or
condominiums. The law stipulates that up to 49% of the total sellable space in
a condominium project can be owned by foreigners, with the remaining 51% held
by Thai nationals or legal entities.
Navigating with Professional Support
As in any foreign land, navigating the real estate market and understanding the laws and regulations can be a daunting task. Here’s where The McGee Real Estate comes into play. With extensive local knowledge and experience, The McGee team can guide you through the process professionally.
One of the critical aspects The McGee Real Estate handles proficiently is ensuring that the funds for the purchase have been transferred into Thailand from a foreign bank, as is required by Thai law. They assist clients in obtaining a “Foreign Exchange Transaction Form” (FETF) – a crucial document that serves as proof that the funds used for the purchase were transferred from overseas into Thailand.

The McGee Real Estate’s reputation for professionalism and client satisfaction extends beyond the financial transaction phase. They also manage all necessary due diligence. This process includes verifying that the given condominium project adheres to the foreigner ownership quota, the property details align with what’s presented, and all documentation is properly prepared and registered.
