Comparison

Is this cheaper than Thailand Elite Visa?

For many buyers the answer is yes — because the money goes into an asset you own, not a membership fee. Here's how they compare.

Requirements

What do you need to qualify for a Property Visa in Thailand?

The conditions are straightforward — but getting all the documents right is where most buyers run into delays. That's where Thailink helps.

🏗️

Ready-to-transfer freehold property

Only completed condominiums qualify. Off-plan or under-construction units are not eligible until ownership is transferred into your name.

💰

Minimum value: 3,000,000 THB

The total purchase price on the title deed must be at least 3,000,000 THB. The property must be registered in your personal name — not a company.

🛂

Clean immigration record

No overstays, no prior deportation, no criminal record. Standard Non-Immigrant visa category requirements apply.

📄

Chanote title deed in your name

Full ownership title (Chanote / Nor Sor 4 Jor) is required. The transfer must be completed and registered at the Land Department.

🔁

Annual renewal — as long as you own

The visa is renewed each year. If you sell the property, the visa basis is lost. You'll need to switch to another visa category or re-qualify.

FAQ

Property Visa Thailand — your questions answered

It must be a condominium (freehold). Foreigners cannot own land in Thailand in their personal name, so houses and villas on their own land do not qualify. The condo must be a completed, ready-to-transfer unit registered under the Condominium Act — not off-plan or leasehold.
The visa is tied to property ownership. If you sell, the investment basis is lost and the visa cannot be renewed on those grounds. You would need to either purchase another qualifying property, switch to a different visa category (such as retirement, Elite, or DTV), or leave Thailand. We always advise clients to have a backup plan before selling.
Renting out your property is a separate legal matter from the visa. Short-term rentals (Airbnb-style) require a hotel license in Thailand and are often restricted in condo buildings. Long-term rentals are generally permissible, but this does not constitute "working" in Thailand. Always check your condo's juristic rules and Thai revenue department obligations on rental income.
No. The LTR (Long-Term Resident) Visa is a separate program for high-net-worth individuals and requires a minimum of $1,000,000 USD in global assets plus a Thai investment. The Property Visa described here is a Non-Immigrant Investment category visa — a simpler route that requires only the property purchase. The LTR also offers a 10-year validity and work authorization, which this visa does not.
For the title transfer at the Land Department, physical presence is required — or a notarized Power of Attorney given to a representative. Many buyers complete due diligence and reservation remotely, then fly in for the final signing. Thailink can accompany you for the full process and coordinate everything so your trip is as short as possible.
