alexanderthai Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Not just American. Anyone who has invest in Thailand 1 Million US dolar here can own the land 1 rai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiwanderer Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 ....but its not really true freehold ownership as even when the investment is approved its tied to that investment and has various restrictions. As I've said before anyone investing that money would likely not be interested in such a weak model for the ownership which on balance is probably less attractive than a basic nominee structure let alone what someone doing business in country may be able to arrange.

And, if the business is closed or fails, the whole arrangement collapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, nationality has nothing to do with it. Although I should add you'll also need the permission of the Interior Minister and that 1M US$ must be invested in Govt bonds for 5 years.
