Total purchase cost

Editable transaction-cost estimate

The transfer-fee input starts at the statutory headline 2%, with a separately editable buyer share. Concessions, assessed value, seller type, holding period, contract allocation, tax and duty treatment can change the result. Business tax, stamp duty, legal, sinking-fund and other costs therefore start at zero: enter the figures confirmed for your transaction.

Foreign ownership

Understand the structure before choosing a property

Condominium freehold

Foreign freehold ownership is generally available within the condominium building’s 49% foreign-ownership quota. Confirm quota availability for the specific unit before committing.

Foreign-currency evidence

Condo freehold registration generally requires evidence that qualifying purchase funds came into Thailand in foreign currency. Plan the bank documentation before transferring funds.

Leasehold and land

Leasehold is not the same as freehold. Foreign land ownership is restricted, and company or nominee structures carry serious legal and tax risks. Obtain independent Thai legal advice.
