Is 3million THB condo rule applicable for individuals that bought a condo before this rule was paased? For exmaple, if someone bought a 5m or 6m condo in 2020 or 2021 but never applied for investment visa by adding additional 5/4m to meet 10m. Would that original purchase will be considered for the new 3m clause or a new 3m purchase post law publishing date is required?

Hi confused

Looking to buy a condo

3 different ways foreign freehold Thai freehold leasehold

I now you need to be Thai to buy Thai freehold(and possible bit cheaper)

But why do the prices so different for same type of propertys

I understand leasehold length off lease could make a difference

Can understand why there can be so much difference in price

Anyone purchased a condo as an uk expat?

Looking at the DTV Visa for me and my family and property renting or buying in Thailand? Weighing up the pros/cons to both renting/buying.

We won't be able to work in Thailand on that visa, our income will be from renting our property out in the uk.

EDIT....THANKYOU SO MUCH for all your comments it means alot.

Were so ready to leave the uk but just want to do it as best as we can for us and our children.

Keep your eyes peeled for more questions from me soon 😊

Can I ask how someone can buy a condo in Thailand if they can't have a bank account? Before somebody says a tourist is not supposed to buy a condo: I personally own real estate and know plenty of people who own RE in countries where they are tourists.

Just clarifying but is there any policy that stops a DTV holder from buying an apartment or condo? Is renting out the property also legal on a DTV visa?

Thinking about buying a condo in Bangkok, but as I understand it, it's best to have a thai bank account for the money to pass through. However, I was planning to get a DTV (since I'm too young for a retirement visa) and with the latest changes I understand this prohibits you from getting a bank account (or is not easy anyway). How would I make this work? Is my only option a different visa (which requires more investment)? Or is there some way that if you're planning to buy a condo, you can get a bank account for that purpose?
