Does this checklist save my ticks?

No. Ticks stay in this browser session and clear when you leave or refresh. Print the list, or use your browser's save-as-PDF, if you want a copy for your lawyer.

Is this legal advice?

No. BAANLYY is not a law firm. Each step opens a guide or tool already on this site, and a step we do not cover is left as a question for your Thai lawyer.

Why did some steps disappear?

The list follows the answers you gave. A land purchase hides steps that only apply to a condo, and company or spouse steps appear only when you choose them.

How do I calculate the true cost of buying?

Use the Investor Tools. The purchase calculator adds the transfer fee, business/stamp tax, withholding tax and (optional) agent commission to the price, and lets you split who pays — buyer, seller, or 50/50 — to show your true net cost.

Can foreigners buy property in Thailand?

Yes — foreigners can own a condominium in freehold provided foreign ownership in the building stays under 49%. Foreigners cannot directly own land, but can use a registered long lease or a properly structured company.
