Property Lawyer in Kalasin for Foreigners — Condominiums, 30-Year Leases, Villas, Due Diligence

Foreigners can own freehold condominiums in Thailand (subject to the 49% per-building foreign quota), can hold a 30-year registered lease on land or villas, and can hold land via a properly structured Thai company — but each route has trade-offs that need to be explained before any deposit is paid. We act for foreign buyers across the full transaction: title search, off-plan contract review, escrow and deposit safeguards, transfer at the Land Office, and the post-completion paperwork (FET, tax, foreign-quota letter).

Frequently asked questions — property lawyer for foreigners in Kalasin

3 questions answered

It's a hard statutory limit, enforced at the Land Office. If the foreign quota is already full, you cannot register a foreign freehold — you'd take a long lease instead (often 30 years + renewal, structured at the same building). Always verify the foreign quota status with a current letter from the juristic person before paying any deposit. Buying without this letter is the most common foreign-buyer mistake we see.

You can own a house through a properly structured Thai company that holds the land, but the structure is scrutinised. The Land Office and Department of Business Development have, in recent years, increased checks on companies that appear to be set up primarily to hold land for foreigners. We will not set up a structure that depends on nominee Thai shareholders — that's an offence under the Foreign Business Act and the Land Code. We will set up legitimate, operating Thai companies where land ownership is incidental, and we will say no when a structure isn't lawful. Other firms may say yes; ask why.

A condominium can pass to your heirs by will, but if the heir is also foreign, they must qualify for the foreign quota or sell within a reasonable period (commonly understood as one year). A leasehold transfers only if the lease contract was specifically drafted to allow assignment on death — most aren't. We prepare or review Thai wills for foreign property owners as a standard add-on; doing this *before* the purchase saves disputes after.
