Thai Law does not permit foreigners to own property in Thailand which includes setting up a company to buy and own land, which most likely will remain unchanged in 2026.

Foreigners who wish to remain in Thailand for at least 3 years or more can arrange short term leases whereby their name will need to be registered on the title deed itself.

Foreign ownership of land is prohibited in Thailand, including setting up a company using nominees to own land, and will result in legal ramifications in the long run.

The results of the general elections held in Thailand a few weeks ago seems to have had a positive effect as seen by an increase in condo unit transfers as well as the stock market boom.

Thailand has seen an increase in condo transfers compared to the previous year, which includes an increase in purchases by foreigners who are permitted to buy condos under the Thai Condominium Act.

Even though the Thai Condo Market has seen an increase in sales, the number in luxury units has reduced due mainly to monetary controls in the banking sector which has a negative impact on the economy.

Thai Law does not permit ownership of land by a foreigner but there are some other methods which make it possible foreigners to gain usage of land both on a lifetime-use basis and also on a 30-year basis.

The war in the Middle East may result in migration to Thailand which would benefit the Condo market, especially with the one-year visa based on purchase or rental of property under certain criteria is being introduced.

Thai authorities have been cracking down heavily on certain corporate structures which have been set up in order to enable foreigners to own land could result in assets being seized and corporations shut down.

In light of the ongoing crackdowns in Thailand, especially regarding real estate, foreign nationals who are concerned regarding rights to usage of property are able to utilize either a lease or a usufruct in Thailand.
