Any foreigner here buy condominium?Is real estate help you to process visa to stay there ?What need to use visa to stay permanent there in thailand?thank you for answering my question .
Answer summary
Buying a condominium in Thailand does not automatically grant the purchaser a right to permanent residence or extended stay. Foreigners can buy a condo even with a tourist visa, but to obtain permanent residency, one must reside in Thailand for three continuous years under the same visa type before applying. Alternatives for longer stays include obtaining retirement, business, or employment visas.

Buying a condo does not give you permanent right of stay in Thailand. You can buy a condo with a tourist visa or visa exemption. Permanent residency requires you stay in Thailand for 3 years nonstop on the same visa extension before application. You should look at getting a retirement, business, employment visa..
