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.

Is it possible to buy a condo on a tourist visa?

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?

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
