How is it possible to use home ownership to qualify for LTR visa when farangs cannot directly own land in Thailand? I am interested in pursuing an LTR visa, wealthy pensioner category, under terms which allow for $40k+ in passive income and $250k+ in Thai property investment. I wish to try to qualify by spending $250k+ on a freestanding house (not condo) to use as my primary residence (not for rental). The issue is how to purchase in my name in a way that qualifies for the LTR visa but still complies with laws against foreigners owning land. Do I need to find a leasehold property? How could it work for a freehold property? If I create a business to own the property, must I be a minority business owner (49% max)? If so, would I then have to spend $505k+ in the house to make my share worth $250k?

So I have a condo and my home tax bill has come through does anyone know what paperwork is needed. It’s mine in ferlang name

Hi all hope u all well

If we buy a house in Thailand if and when we come to sell can we take the money out of Thailand if we don’t want to stay living there

Thanks

I purchased a condo and am doing my own tm30 reporting. I now need to have proof of tm30 from the website but I don't see anything to print. Actually it states within the last 7 days is the only time you

Can see if you submitted the information. Do I now need to go to immigration to get the paper slip for

My documents ?

Hello. When buying a condo, can the ownership be changed from foreigner to thai, or from thai to foreigner or thai/foreigner to company. Thanks

I have decided to move to Pattaya, looking for Pros and Cons!

To get a long term Residency, I am willing to invest the required amount, need to know a cost effective Visa. How are the Medical facilities in Pattaya vs Bangkok?

How good/cost effective are the Medical/Health Insurance Providers?

I am informed that as an Expatriate I cannot buy a villa but can buy a Condo! Is that correct?

On the basis of investing in a Condo, can I get long term Residency?

As owner of my condo can I do a TM30 on line for myself after returning from a trip abroad or do I need to go in person?

Hello,

TM30.... I am a condo owner in Pattaya, I have done the TM30 at Jomtien immigration when i moved in last year.

Now I am travelling in Europe. I will be back in Pattaya in october, and will be living at the same address.

I have 2 TM30 questions:

1. Do I need to make a new one in the 24 hours following my arrival?

1. If I start an online registration the day of my arrival do i risk a fine if the TM30 is not approved in less than 24h? I can't do it now as I don't have the condo documents with me.

I really want to avoid a visit to jomtien immigration when i come back if possible. Thanks for your advices.

Re: the new TM30 website - To register as a condo owner, it requires filling in a space for Thai National ID No. It will not take my US passport number, but won't let you leave it blank, cannot complete registration. Any idea how to complete registration? Thanks for any advice!

Over the years I have seen and heard many horror stories from people purchasing property here in Thailand. Can anyone in this group share any positive experiences they have had with buying a home?

I understand the laws, I’m just curious about the people who are happy with their homes and have no regrets.
