I visited my Thai consulat (in Milan) last week for advise. I understood it would be very difficult to buy land or property an a foreigner. However, they told me buying just a house or appartment without land was possible and involved filling in just a few forms.

Is this true?!?

It is easy to buy a condominium in Thailand and be the registered owner. Use a decent lawyer to take care of your interests.

There is a limit of 49% on the total foregn ownership of the condo block,

otherwise you will be OK.

If the price is right and it is a new condo the purchase might help you in obtaining a Non Imm visa.

Make sure you use a good lawyer.

Since 27 April 2004, foreigners or majority-owned companies may own up to 100% of the aggregate space of a condominium in specific areas, including the Bangkok Metropolitan area and its surroundings, and other special zones such as Pattaya.

Thanks, nice one.

Does that mean complete ownership, with no time limits and no restrictions on what you do with/to/on the property.

Has anyone been through the process, and what are they doing now with the condo?
