TLDR : Answer Summary
Owning a condo in Thailand does not automatically qualify you for a long-term visa. However, there are specific conditions under which you might be eligible. If you are over 50 or married to a Thai citizen, you may apply for certain visa types. Additionally, there are new visa categories being considered that may relate to property ownership if the purchase value exceeds $500,000. For an Investor Visa, you generally need to invest at least 10 million THB in property or another qualifying investment. The discussion also touches upon the humorous notion of 'pretending' to be Thai, but it's important to understand the legal requirements clearly.

No, but if your condo worth 10M baht you can apply for investment visa, otherwise try to get Thai elite visa

We should not convict others so that ourselves are not convicted. Don't convict them because we may also behave like that in the same situation.

There is an investor visa but you must own property in your name in excess of 10M Baht.

Based on the ownership of a condominium? No.

Bsed on the purchase of condominium from 2021 to 2026? Yes, if the purchase is equal to or above US$500,000 (~ 16.5 million baht)

Owning a condo does not give you access to a particular visa but might if the 4 new categories are implemented. However, the value of the condo for the new visas is likely to be more than entry level. But why 'predend'?
Paul *******
If you are over 50 - Yes. If you are married to a Thai - Yes.

@Paul ******
That would be a retirement visa
John ******
no. There is not such a visa.
Duncan *******
@John *****

Darren *******
@Duncan ******
