Transferring land and condo ownership in Thailand

Ownership transfers only when registered at the Land Office. We help check the title, prepare the agreement and documents, and coordinate transfer day; acceptance is the land officer's decision.

The transfer steps

  1. Step 1

    Check the title and the property

    Verify the title deed type, encumbrances, mortgages and restrictions such as usufructs or servitudes before agreeing to buy.

  2. Step 2

    Sign a sale and purchase agreement

    State the price, deposit, transfer conditions and who bears each tax and fee, clearly.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare documents and taxes

    Prepare ID, house registration, a power of attorney if someone acts for you, and estimate withholding tax, specific business tax, stamp duty and the transfer fee at current official rates.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer at the Land Office

    Buyer and seller, or their attorneys, attend the Land Office where the property is located, pay the taxes and fees, and register the transfer the same day.

  5. Step 5

    After the transfer

    Keep the new title deed and tax receipts, change the utility accounts, and for condos notify the juristic person of the building.

Limits to know before buying

  • Foreigners generally cannot own land in Thailand, except under specific statutory exemptions, but may own a condo unit within the building's foreign quota under the Condominium Act.
  • A foreign condo purchase needs evidence of foreign currency brought into Thailand as the Land Department requires.
  • Taxes and fees depend on the appraised value, holding period and seller type; calculate from the Land Department and Revenue Department's current rates before agreeing.
  • Using company structures or long leases to work around ownership limits carries legal risk; get advice before deciding.

Official fees and taxes are published by the Department of Lands and the Revenue Department. Our service fee is given separately in a written quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreigner buy land in Thailand?

Generally no, except under specific statutory exemptions such as qualifying investment schemes. A foreigner may own a condo unit within the building's foreign quota.

Where does the transfer happen?

At the Land Office where the property is located, with buyer and seller or their attorneys present.

What taxes and fees apply?

Typically the transfer fee, withholding income tax, and specific business tax or stamp duty depending on the property. Check current rates with the Land Department and Revenue Department.

Can someone transfer on my behalf?

Yes, with a power of attorney on the Land Department's form; some cases require a certified signature.

Is a sale agreement necessary?

Not legally required, but it fixes the terms, deposit and responsibilities before transfer day and reduces dispute risk.

What does it cost and how long does it take?

It depends on the property type and the complexity of any encumbrances; we do not promise a fixed period. We quote after review. No guarantee of outcome and no refund policy.
