Under Thai law, foreigners cannot own land directly in their name. However, you can legally buy and own condominium units (up to 49% of the building’s total area). Alternatively, foreigners can lease land for up to 30 years or set up a Thai Limited Company to hold the land. Our real estate lawyers can guide you through the safest legal options.
Setting up a Thai Limited Company is the most common and secure way for foreigners to do business in Thailand. Usually, Thai nationals must hold at least 51% of the shares, while foreigners can hold up to 49%. However, some businesses may qualify for 100% foreign ownership under the BOI (Board of Investment). We provide full corporate registration services.
