Hi all,

THANK YOU.

Thanks to all the guys and gals who reply to the queries on this site. Its a great source of information. I am a regular reader but this is only my second time to submit a post as most of my questions have been answered by replies to other members posts!

BACKGROUND.

I have been to Thailand a number of times and like a lot of people on this site have a great fondness for the place. So much so that I bought a 99 year lease on a plot of land in a managed estate and my house is due to be completed in Jan 2005.

QUESTION.

After reading through a number of posts, I noted a number of references to getting a visa a bit more easily if you have invested money in the country. My question is, "does buying a house come under this umbrella? Will I be able to get a visa a bit easier if I have invested more than 3 million Baht in a house?

Thanks in advance for all replies and apologies if this question has already been answered!!!!

If you're thinking of the one year extension then no, it only applies to approved condominium projects.

As said. No. And you might also want to get real legal advise on that 99 year lease.

Sorry to say, no such legal lease exists in Thailand.

Ooops. Meant to say 33 year lease that can be renewed at least 3 times.

Thanks to all who have replied so far.
