Foreigners are generally not allowed to own land in Thailand, but there are fully legal and secure ways to protect your investment and ensure long-term stability. Here are some of the key options available:
- Leasehold Ownership
- Foreigners can lease land for a maximum of 30 years, with an option to renew for another 30 years.
- Structures built on the leased land, such as houses or villas, can be fully owned by the foreigner.
- Ownership Under Section 96 bis of the Land Code Act
- Foreigners may own up to 1,600 square meters (1 rai) of land for residential purposes under certain conditions.
- This requires an investment of at least 40 million baht in approved Thai assets, such as bonds or investments authorized by the Board of Investment (BOI).
- The land must be in designated areas, such as Bangkok, Pattaya, or other municipalities, and ownership is tied to the lifetime of the investor.
- Joint Venture with Thai Nationals
- Forming a joint venture with Thai partners, with majority Thai ownership, is another way to secure land.
- Private Limited Company
- Setting up a private limited company with at least 51% Thai ownership allows foreigners to manage land through the company.
