Buying/Investing

Foreigners can buy condominiums; however, they’re not able to purchase land or houses.

It depends on the bank. Foreigners can get a loan from certain banks, if they pass the requirements and criterias of each bank.

Besides the selling price of the condominium, there are other expenses, such as the transfer fee, specific business tax or stamp duty, withholding tax, and sometimes, which is sometimes entirely the seller’s duty. Sometimes, it is shared between the seller and the buyer, depending on the agreement made before the purchase.

Renting

The tenant has to pay the security deposit, equivalent to 2 month’s rent, and 1 month’s rent in advance (total 3 month’s worth of rent).

Generally,according to Thai law, the landlord is responsible for damages that isn’t caused by the tenant, and the tenant is responsible for any smaller damages and repairs, such as cleaning the air conditioner.

It varies with each case, depending on the agreement made between the tenant and landlord while making the contract.

You can pay for the water bill directly to the juristic person. Here are several methods/channels to pay for electricity bills to the Metropolitan Electricity Authority 1. Pay the electricity bills at the Metropolitan Electricity Authority Office 2. Pay via Government Complexes in department stores 3. Pay at a representative service counter 4. Payment via debit card 5. Payment via credit card 6. Pay via ATM 7. Pay via Internet Banking 8. Pay via Mobile Banking 9. Pay via MEA Smart Life Application (Master/Visa Card) 10. Pay via Mobile Phone

The tenant does not have to pay for common fees, as it is the owner’s responsibility.

The minimum rental period is 12 months, but it is possible in some cases to negotiate with the owner to see if they would agree to less.
