IF I could find a bank that give me a mortgage to buy a condo

[john donson]

IF I could find a Thai bank that give me a mortgage to buy a condo, there is no need for a FET for the land department ?

 

Yes, chances are slim to zero... I would offer the whole sum as collateral + make them 5-7% a year but would want to pay it off quickly.

 

Money is in Thailand since 2011, was sent to FCD account, converted to THB later, bank pretends they cannot make a new FET because it was 13 years ago, so royally screwed as I do not want to sent it back home country and back here and be taxed 25% at least

 

Yes money was sleeping in an low interest account, till I got divorced as I never expected to lose my current house in ex name, blabla...

 

Anybody else in this situation ?

Inorder to buy a condo  in a a foreign name you will always  require a  FET.

The only solution that I can think of is to buy  a condo that currently  is in a company.

The seller must accept Baht

 

The benefit of company is that it is easy to bequeath.

downside -you must have the company audited every year

If you have a foreign identification card there is not a requirement for the money to have come from abroad.  That's according to this site:
