Frequently Asked Questions
Can foreigners buy property in Chiang Mai?
Yes. Foreigners can own condominium units freehold under the building foreign quota — Thai law allows foreigners to collectively hold up to 49% of the total unit area of a building. For a house with land, foreigners cannot own the land outright, but there are options such as owning the building with a long-term land lease, and our team advises on each property. Listings marked "Foreign quota" are ready for foreign buyers.
What is the foreign freehold quota?
It is the share of a condominium building unit area that Thai law lets foreigners collectively own — up to 49% of the total unit area of the building. We tell you clearly which units still have foreign quota available.
What are the costs at ownership transfer, and who pays?
The main cost is the 2% transfer fee on the appraised value set by the Land Department, plus other taxes and fees depending on the case. Who pays is negotiable in each deal. We give you a clear breakdown before you commit, and the exact figure is based on the government appraised value.
