Wait, unlimited visa exempt!? Is that something that’s likely to happen?

@Ron ******

Sorry, just found the email. Not 100,000, it was 75,000 plus VAT. Quote "Please note that the relevant regulation does not distinguish between second hand and new condos. However, practically the relevant officer insist on new condos. We would be required to challenged such opinion legally." It's a law firm, not Siam Legal or Sunbelt Asia. Anyway, agreed, it's not worth it at a price like that.

@Ron ******

It was either Sunbelt Asia or Siam Legal, I forget which one. That's what they told me.

@Lloyd *******

I looked into this- a lawyer told me that the law doesn't specify new or second hand, however, they will reject it for being second hand. It is then possible to have that decision reversed, although that requires it to be argued. This is what the lawyer told me. The reason I didn't attempt to get one is because all of this adds up in lawyers fees, which I was quoted as 100,000 baht plus the extra time of going back and forth. Probably not worth it considering the price of an elite visa.

Well there is. Investment visas require you to spend 10million baht or more on condos/other investments. It’s much easier if you bought it new.

^^you need to use internet explorer and be highly patient.
