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?

Sorry guys best way to off load my hard earned cash to my beloved wise or western union

Im looking to buy a foreign freehold condo. Am I correct in that if its over 10M baht I can get an investor visa to stay long term?

Anyone gone this route? Any recommendations for a property lawyer to assist me?

I’ll be looking in Phuket for the condo.

Thanks 😊

Hi, I'm sure this has been addressed many times. Update: I should edit this. Am looking to purchase a house in Thailand. When looking to purchase property in Thailand, do we get the Thai bank account first before the visa (retirement) and purchase ? The rules keep changing and now I am not sure which order it should be.

If you buy a condo or villa, does that count as the 800k thai baht needed for a visa? I read something that said that once, but never saw it anywhere else, so I wanted to be sure.

Any thoughts on a visa to live there for 6 months in my own condo. And live 6 months back in Australia. Any advice would be great. Cheers I’m 49yrs old. Haven’t bought the condo yet.

Hello everyone,

Can a foreigner, who purchases a condo, get a long-term / resident visa?

Thanks

Now that I have my DTV and my banking setup finalized, I’m starting to seriously explore the real estate market.

I’m considering purchasing a condo as my forever home, but I’ve come across mixed opinions regarding condos and their ability to hold value over time.

Is the concern primarily due to the sheer volume of condos being built, leading to a saturated market? Or is it more about factors like the location, quality of construction, and upgraded finishes that influence a condo’s value over the next 10-15 years?

I’d love to hear your insights and any advice you might have on navigating this decision.

I am looking for a recommendation for a lawyer who can assist us in purchasing a condo and can help with advice on the right visa.

Thanks.

I am reading about the LTR and financial commitment. Assuming Inmajr between 40k-80k $US.I must invest $250k US in Thalland. What about Thai bonds are they good? What other options-?
