releasethekraken Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I want to start an Airbnb chain of my own by renting apartments in the Sukhumvit area and redecorating and turning them into Airbnb. May I ask about the legal process and if it is possible to do so as a foreigner? I am a ASEAN citizen so I am allowed to come to Thailand for tourism only but I can get a work permit if I do decide to move to Thailand. Please help me!

Doctor Tom Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) As far as I know, not legally, but take advice, as that may be out of date info. If that is your plan OP, I'm surprised that you are not already using a Lawyer and indeed that you are asking on here, an open forum, where you have no idea who you are engaging with. . Don't be naive, get good legal advice before you do anything. Edited June 5 by Doctor Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 That would be between you and whom ever you are renting from. As pointed, many condo don't allow. But non condo, private owners of property may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_Money Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 So the OP is asking to rent by lease and then sublease to Air B&B. All I can say is the owner better have a cause in the lease restricting this activity. I can see why they charge two months security deposit. I have a suspicion this will not end well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbnb for less than a month isn't legal. You would be running business, so need a company. Edited June 5 by FritsSikkink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is exactly what Tim Newton (Australian) does. He has a few Airbnb houses he rents on Phuket. See his YouTube channel - Tim Newton Today (TNT).
