Property taxes in Thailand for foreigners: buying, owning, letting and selling

Foreign owners of property in Thailand meet taxes at four stages: when they buy, own, let and sell. What does a foreigner pay at the Land Department when buying an apartment? How much tax falls due each year, and how much is withheld from rental income? And why do the transfer costs come to 1% of the price for one buyer and 6.3% for another? We work through every tax on one example apartment priced at ฿7,600,000 (€201K / $225K). Swap in your own price and the formulas give you your own figure.

Freehold vs leasehold in Thailand: what foreign buyers actually own

In short: freehold in Thailand gives a foreign buyer outright, permanent ownership of an apartment in a condominium, as long as the building still has room within its foreign quota. Leasehold gives a registered right to use a property for up to 30 years, and it is how foreigners hold the land under a villa or an apartment outside the quota.

FAQ. ANSWERS TO YOUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can a foreigner own property in Thailand?

Yes. Foreigners can purchase condos as Freehold subject to quota, and also use long-term leasehold structures. We advise on transaction structure for both primary and secondary markets.

What's the difference between buying off-plan and resale?

Off-plan often allows entry at an earlier price with installment plans. The resale market offers a ready property with clear ownership history.

Is Phuket suitable for relocation?

Phuket combines developed infrastructure, international schools, private hospitals, and high service levels. We help select areas and projects that fit your family's lifestyle.

Can I complete a transaction remotely?

In most cases, yes. We support clients outside Thailand and arrange the remote purchase process.

Do you help after key handover?

Yes. We advise on management, rental, and possible resale of your property.

Can a foreigner buy a villa if land in Thailand is not sold to foreigners?

Yes, through separate rights: the villa is registered as Freehold, full ownership, while the land under it is taken on a long-term lease for 90 years. This is the most common and effective method for foreigners in Phuket, and we arrange it for most of the villas we select for clients.
