1、 Buy an apartment

Thailand is not a country of immigrants. The Thai government does not allow overseas people to hold Thailand's land property rights, that is, they can not directly buy Thai land and villas. Therefore, most foreigners buy apartments in Thailand, and Thailand has no restrictions on the number of houses purchased by foreigners in Thailand.

According to the relevant laws of Thailand, foreigners can buy Thai apartments in their own name with their passports. They have permanent property rights and are protected by Thai laws. Only 49% of the property rights of a project can be purchased by foreigners, and the remaining 51% should be purchased by Thais.
