General question about buying in Phuket

According to Thai law, foreigners are prohibited from purchasing freehold land and not more than 49% of the shares in a Thai limited company that owns freehold land under the company’s name. However, foreigners may own a building distinct from its land, such as a unit in a condominium.

The safest and easiest methods for circumventing the law prohibiting foreigners to own land include using a leasehold agreement or setting up a Thai limited liability company.

Unlike land leasing, the ownership of such land is permanent as long as the company exists. Using this method is also convenient if you were already planning to set up a business in Thailand. This method is also suitable if you wish to purchase land as part of an investment as it is possible to mortgage or subdivide the land for resale, which is not normally possible with a leasehold.

You cannot own more than 49% of the shares in the company. This means that you need Thai shareholders. The minimum number of shareholders is 3, so you can have 1 foreigner and 2 Thai shareholders. 

You also need to make sure that the regulatory compliance of the company is maintained. Inactive companies that are not generating income may be de-listed, so you need to make sure that balance sheets are filed annually and that the company’s address is maintained.

Leases up to 3 years don’t need to be registered. Leases that are 3 years or longer must be registered at the Land Department.

Lease hold title is lease registration fees and stamp duty (currently 1.1% of the land rental or lease premium) is payable to the Land department upon registration of the lease.

Generally, real property never depreciates in value, or more so, it is not very common for property to depreciate.  In Phuket real property can depreciate if you don’t do proper maintenance. Make sure you carefully consider location and community when choosing a home, it can effect the homes future value greatly. If you are in a newly developed area, do some research on the construction of the surrounding areas being developed to determine if they may effect your homes value.

Is possible to apply for a loan when you buy a freehold apartment in a Condominium. More information can be provided on appointment.
