micky Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 First thing first. I have already bought a condo five years ago. As usual the money fully paid was sent from overseas as required. Now I have the intention of selling this condo to buy a new condo in the near future. The big question is this : Can I use the money from the sale of my first condo as Money transferred from overseas. Or i have to transfer again the full amount for the new condo. Meaning the money sold from my first condo can be considered as Money transferred from overseas to purchase my second new condo. Is this possible ? Please kindly advise. Thanking you all in advance. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fang37 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It may seem insane but I understand that the $$$ from the proceeds of sale from your existing condo must be exported & then imported again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HampiK Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 When you sell your first condo the foreign exchange document (prove of foreign money) will be available for use to register your second condo. Maybe here is someone who have done this already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudcrab Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It may seem insane but I understand that the $$$ from the proceeds of sale from your existing condo must be exported & then imported again. Wouldn't you have expertise in this area....having bought and sold many condos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how241 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It may seem insane but I understand that the $$$ from the proceeds of sale from your existing condo must be exported & then imported again. That does sound crazy but I have read the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The actual rule is you'd have to export the funds and then reimport them again. Yes, bat sheit crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HampiK Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I can't belive, that when you have already a foreign transaction form which shows that the money came from outside thailand.. and when you sold the existing condo... then it should be free again. So I would call land departement to clarify before you start to transfer out and back. Because it would cost quite some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I just stated the actual rule. Yes, you could explore workarounds. No guarantees that they will be available in your locality or without risk tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't make any difference. We are living in Thailand. Logic is irrelevant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 You need to do an out and in with the money. It's not as drastic add it sounds. You need a decent bank manager. Negotiate the fee. Fortunately you will have the proof needed to get the money out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sendintheclowns Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Every situation and every location seems to offer different rules. My experience: Sold one of my houses in 2014. 50% of sale allocated to land, so that had to go into the company. 50% allocated to the building, etc. that went into my pocket. I took the sale papers to my bank, SCB (a branch in the boondocks). They prepared an application to Bankof Thailand., to buy Canadian $'s. 3 weeks later, I received a Permit to export the money. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but you can only send back the amount that you bought the first condo with, that is the declared amount given to the land office which in some cases is a lot less than the actual purchase price. Any additional profit on the sale has to remain and be spent in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you show the bank your sales contract and you have made a profit you can still send your original amount PLUS profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfaroukh Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Lets first hope you can sell the old condo at good price. The market is very low right now and you may have to sell it way under the price used to be just 9 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
