Knowledge Base - Buying Real Estate in Thailand

Thai law reserves land ownership (freehold) for Thai citizens. This is a national principle that applies to all foreigners. For us, however, this is not an obstacle, but merely a starting point – which is why a leasehold system is utilized, granting full rights to the use of the property.

Yes. Leasing (leasehold) is a legal, proven, and very popular form of property acquisition for foreigners in Thailand. The leasehold right is registered with the government office and entered into the land registry, ensuring it is formally secured rather than based solely on trust or verbal agreements.

Ustawowo gwarantowane 30 lat, z deklaracją przedłużeń realnie do około 90 (schemat 30+30+30). Ale trzeba pamiętać, że zagwarantowane jest 30 lat pod warunkiem zarejstrowania umwy w urzędzie.

In practice, such a scenario is highly improbable. For a Thai landowner, a lease represents an excellent, stable business – providing regular income without the sale of the land. Furthermore, renewing with a proven, paying tenant is significantly more advantageous for them than seeking a new one. The crucial aspect lies in how the agreement is structured – and this is precisely why we meticulously review every contract, sentence by sentence, before signing, to ensure your right to renew is unequivocally secured.
