So many people have a misunderstanding about the foreign quota....

The units are NOT marked as local\foreign units, and no number of units are kept for only Thai or only non Thai buyers.

It is so simple - no more than 49% of the units (or area) can be owned by foreigners. A foreigner can but a unit from a Thai person as long as at the time of purchase less than 49% of the building is registered to Thais.

Whenever a foreigner buys a unit, be it from a Thai or a foreigner, the juristic person must issue a letter to the land department saying that at that point in time less than 49% of the building is owned by non Thais. So if a Thai person buys a unit from another Thai - nothing changed. If a Thai person buys a unit from a foreigner - the share of Thai owners increases and that of non Thais decreases. That's it.

Wow, you went to some effort in making that comment but you didn't answer the question.

You could have mentioned that fact initially.

If she has foreign citizenship, then yes she can buy in the foreign quota.

 

Why would I ask if she could buy a condo in foreign quota if she didn't have a foreign passport?

BTW, it is a forum, if you are not sure or you don't understand, you can ask questions.

1)You do realise if you went that route, that 'she, in her name' (not you) would have to bring the total purchase price in from overseas. Inward remittance would have to be in her name. You cannot use money already in Thailand.

2)Using her Australian passport to purchase is probably feasible, but at some stage (either at the Bank or the Land Office) someone is going to query the lack of Visa/Extension/entry stamps in her passport, then she will need to show her Thai ID and this may cause problems.

Be careful.

Yes, your explanation is what I was looking for, these are my thoughts, it's why I posted my topic.

I'd say this is why the sales people at the condominium could not explain in detail.

My daughter is only 16 years old, it won't be easy getting her foreign quota.

She has a kasikorn bank account, I could transfer money from Australia but there maybe other obstacles.

well, is it? Marked value is always about location,  standard and there is foreign interest in the complex. 

Not interested, just want to know legalities.

A Thai with an Australian passport buying condo with foreign quota.

Thank you.

This is why I'm asking the question.

She is Thai.

Are foreign quota units somehow better? 

Yes, easier to sell

If she had a foreign passport maybe it's possible even though she's Thai? foreign quota is easier to sell for sure

Yes, she has an Australian passport and yes, higher resale value.

If she has double passports she can simply buy with the foreign passport under foreign quota, logical. I don't believe this with not being able to buy as a Thai from a condo with foreigner quota too, my friends here sold their condo's plenty of times to a Thai, while they had the foreigner quota.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

She is Thai, of course she cant buy in the foreign quota.

I cant believe you are even asking the question. If Thais can buy up all the foreign quota, then its no longer the foreign quota.

She has an Australian passport.

I'd like to buy a condominium for my daughter.

She is Thai, has a Thai ID card and has a has a foreigner name (my surname).

There are plenty of foreign quota units available for a higher price, I am OK with paying extra for foreign quota.

I'd like her to buy with foreign quota, the sales people are saying she doesn't have to buy as foreigner or can't have the title in foreign quota.

Anyone know if this is true?

Probably doing the right thing by not driving home drunk has cost him his life?

If you look at the picture he had a light on the back of the bike.
Lady maybe on her phone or more than likely at her age half blind and shouldn't be driving at all. 

Maybe old guy was drunk

Not last night but a week or so back.

This could be why the Swiss are attacking Thai women, they are fed up.

Getting justice. 😮

Very strange that 73yo riding his bicycle around midnight. Weird.

Not a good idea.

Boring....... mate of mine sent me this, Arcadia Beach Resort had their very own top floor jumper yesterday.

Emergency crews had the inflatables out.

Anyone buy pork knuckles?

This afternoon I had a few beers with the boys, when I got home I found a pork knuckle in the fridge that the mrs bought from Big C extra earlier.  

I cut the big stuff off for the family dinner then got stuck into it, the kids were watching, I think I embarrassed myself, they will never look at me the same again.  

How to you guys enjoy your pork knuckles?

Has anyone ever tried to set up a meet up for expats living in BKK.

There was this recent Phuket thread.

Not too many interested.

I made a comment below.....

 Heavy security would be required, From what I read on these forums most of the guys are quite rude and hostile on the keyboard, lots of warriors.     I'm sure there'd be some casualties at a meeting. ⛑️

I get hit on a lot. Walking in a park, in a shop. It's a nice feeling. 

Me too, it's really annoying. 

Central shopping is the worst, those pretties in the perfume/cologne section, constantly asking for my phone number, Line ID. 😉

That guy earlier from Liverpool gave me a hard time.

Is this a bait posting? 🤔
