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?

A "really anything" question.

Can anyone read this Thai line?

My translation software gives me several different measurements? I've even used AI to read it getting different answers from different AI tools.

LTR - wealthy pensioner question

Anyone knows if we can include income generated from Thai real estate (in the form of rental) as Personal Pension income to fulfilll annual 40K USD or 80K USD criteria?

Thanks!

I know that a house book in Thailand can not be used as proof of ownership. But does it show who the owner is and does the owner have possession or it.

Quick question

Bank own houses in Thailand is it fair to say if bank wants 1 million for house and house has been sitting to offer 500000 or us that taking it to low.

Thanks guys and gals

Thank you for accepting me to the group. I am leaning a lot already.

Can you recommend a group about owning land in LOS? I understand it’s complicated and requires a Thai partner….

So in my country (USA) we are all about spending beyond our means. We use credit cards for many things and financing for bigger things. Like if you have a job you can spend 50 times what you earn in a year.

I know Thai are less inclined to buy stuff on credit - and good for them.

I have a good job (remote employer in US), a reasonably good income, a little cash in the bank.

How does someone like myself finance a condo?

What's the procedures and laws when it comes to purchasing a home and financing, for foreigners?

I'm aware that foreigners are only able to outright own condominiums. However, in terms of home (not plot) ownership, what's the deal?

Thank you for your contributed efforts in advance.
