Acquisition of Thai land by foreign nationals is restricted under the Land Code and applicable special laws. Condominium rules should not be assumed to apply to land.
Department of Lands guidance distinguishes statutory-heir inheritance, residential acquisition under section 96 bis and investment-promotion cases. Each route has its own conditions and approvals.
Practical checks: establish the buyer’s status and lawful acquisition route before paying. Do not use nominee arrangements to evade restrictions.
