FAQ
Below you can find frequently asked questions from property buyers, including our replies.
Can foreigners buy villas with land in Phuket?
Yes, you have no restrictions to buy and own villas on a freehold basis, but you cannot own the land. Thus, the preferable option is to lease the land with a time period of 30 years. You might also have the opportunity to renew the lease with 30+30 years.
Look for a reputable solicitor who can help you to draft the sales and lease contracts. A good option is to include a clause in the contract stipulating your rights to renew the lease for an additional 30+30 years.
Can foreigners get property loans from banks in Thailand?
It’s not common that foreigners can get local property loans in Thailand. A more common option is to seek financing from a developer, mortgage a property in your home country, or simply pay everything with cash.
You normally need to meet any of the following conditions to be granted a property loan at Thai banks:
- You’re a permanent resident in Thailand
- You work locally and can show proof of income and employment (at least 1 year)
- You apply for a loan with the help of your Thai spouse, acting as a guarantor
What are the benefits of buying off-plan?
I’ve listed a number of off-plan units in Phuket. The simple reason is that off-plan property is a preferred option for overseas buyers. Buying off-plan brings a number of benefits.
First of all, you buy the property years before the construction has finished. In a best-case scenario, the value has appreciated with a decent amount upon the launch.
You pay in instalments, which means that you don’t have to pay everything upfront. Hence, you can use parts of the saved money to diversify your portfolio, or for other purposes.
Is it safe to buy off-plan in Phuket?
It’s rare that developers go bankrupt and don’t manage to finalize projects. Still, you should always do a thorough background check of the developer, and weigh in the risks.
Preferably, your developer should have launched a dozen projects in the past, and show a reputable track record. You can also check the finances of the developer and its management.
Advise with your agent, if necessary, to verify the seriousness of the developer.
Is it legal to rent out property on Airbnb in Phuket?
In short words, No. But it depends on how long you rent out the unit.
Thailand has two different acts, referred to as the Condominium Act and the Hotel Act. The acts stipulate the conditions property owners need to follow.
According to the acts, it’s legal to rent out property, as long as the period is 30 days or more at a time. Otherwise, it’s considered as a commercial operation, and you need a hotel license.
Keep in mind that the management and boards in projects often stipulate their own rules, it’s important that you confirm upfront what regulations that apply.
If you want to read more about renting out Thai property on Airbnb, I recommend you to read my separate guide.
What kind of property is in demand in Phuket?
Previously, mainly Western expats and wealthy Thai people bought property. This has changed over the years though.
In the past, developers focused more on building large-sized villas and apartments, often bigger than 100 square meters.
Nowadays, many Chinese investors look for more affordable properties, and especially condotels and condominiums. Buying a unit in a condotel can be a great income generator, as you’ll get passive incomes and can let someone else manage the property for you.
Prices aren’t predicted to increase significantly in Phuket whatsoever, but as mentioned, you can still earn good money on guaranteed rental incomes, or through different rental management services.
Are there any long term visas available in Thailand?
Investing in Thai property also brings the benefit to apply for a long term investment visa.
Technically speaking, you can stay in Thailand indefinitely, as long as you renew the visa on a yearly basis. To be granted the visa, you need to invest, or deposit, a minimum amount of THB 10 million (around USD 305,000).
It’s only applicable for new built condos that cost at least THB 3 million (USD 88,000).
You can deposit your money, or invest, in any of the following asset classes:
- Newly built condos (minimum THB 3 million)
- Government or state-enterprise bonds
- Deposit money into a Thai bank account
However, you don’t necessarily need to buy property to apply for a long-term visa. You can also apply for a retirement visa, if you’re 50 years old or above. This is a popular option among retirees.
You can also buy an Elite Card, even if this is less recommended in my view.
