What is the process for scheduling a property viewing with Thai Elite Estate?
You can select properties of interest on our website and use our online scheduling system to choose your preferred date and time. Our system will automatically notify our team, and a specialized agent will contact you to confirm the appointment and prepare all necessary information.
Are there any fees or charges for buyers using Thai Elite Estate's services?
Generally, there are no direct fees from our side for buyers, unless specific additional services are agreed upon. We ensure complete transparency regarding all associated costs from the outset.
What types of property can foreigners legally own in Thailand?
Foreigners can own condominium units freehold, subject to the 49% foreign ownership quota within any given condominium building. Direct freehold ownership of land and houses by foreigners is generally not permitted, but can be achieved through long-term leases (Leasehold) or by establishing a Thai limited company for property holding.
What are the details and terms of a long-term lease (Leasehold) in Thailand?
Land or house leases typically have a maximum duration of 30 years and can be renewed for two additional terms (totaling up to 90 years) under Thai law. However, each renewal must be properly executed through legal procedures.
Are there specific requirements for bringing funds into Thailand for property purchase by foreigners?
Yes, for freehold condominium purchases by foreigners, all funds must be transferred from abroad in a foreign currency and converted into Thai Baht within Thailand. For transactions exceeding USD 50,000, a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form (FETF) from a Thai bank is required as proof of remittance.
What are the typical costs and taxes involved in purchasing property in Thailand?
Key expenses include Transfer Fees, Stamp Duty, Specific Business Tax (if the property is held for less than 5 years), and Withholding Tax. The division of these costs is typically subject to negotiation between the buyer and seller.
Can purchasing property through Thai Elite Estate lead to a Thai visa or residency status?
Direct property purchase generally does not automatically grant a visa or residency. However, if you are interested in long-term visa programs such as the Thailand Elite Visa (Thailand Privilege Card), we can provide preliminary information and connect you with relevant service providers.
If I wish to rent out my purchased property, does Thai Elite Estate offer property management services or recommendations?
While our primary service focuses on sales, we understand the desire to generate income from your property. We can offer initial guidance or connect you with trusted partners specializing in premium property management, ensuring your asset is well-maintained and generates a valuable return.
