Frequently Asked Questions
Can foreigners buy property in Pattaya?+
Yes. Foreigners can own condominiums outright in their own name under the Foreign Quota (up to 49% of the building's saleable area). Houses and land require alternative structures (long-term lease, Thai company, or buying the building separately from the land). We help international buyers navigate every option safely.
What is "Foreign Quota" and why does it matter?+
Thai law caps foreign ownership in any condo building at 49% of the total saleable floor area. Units inside that 49% are "Foreign Quota" (FQ) — only those allow direct freehold ownership in a foreigner's name. We always confirm FQ availability before you commit, and many of our listings (including Zire Wongamart and SO Origin Pattaya) have FQ secured.
What languages does your team support?+
Direct support in English, Japanese, and Thai. Chinese (中文) and Russian (Русский) are available via coordinated translation on request — just message us in your language and we'll respond in kind. Watcharee personally handles English and Japanese clients, which is uncommon among Pattaya agents and especially valued by Japanese investors.
Do you handle rentals as well as sales?+
Yes — both. We list condos, villas, and houses for monthly and yearly rent across Pattaya, Jomtien, and Wong Amat. Many sale listings are also available for rent if owners are flexible. Tell us your budget and dates and we'll shortlist what fits.
How do I arrange a property viewing?+
Send a WhatsApp message, call +66 81 687 9159, or fill in the contact form above. Most viewings can be arranged within 24-48 hours. We can also meet you at the airport or your hotel and drive you to multiple properties in one trip.
Can I get financing as a foreign buyer?+
Most foreign buyers in Thailand pay cash. Thai bank mortgages for non-residents are limited (a few banks like UOB and ICBC offer them, typically 50% LTV at higher interest rates). Many developers offer in-house financing on new condos with 30–50% down and 5–10 year terms. We can introduce you to the right contact based on your situation.
What taxes and fees are involved when buying?+
Typical transaction costs at the Land Office total ~3–6% of purchase price: transfer fee (2%), specific business tax or stamp duty (3.3% or 0.5%), withholding tax (varies by seller). These are usually negotiated 50/50 between buyer and seller, but customs vary. We provide a clear cost breakdown for every offer before you commit.
Do you offer property management for rentals?+
Yes — owner-side management for absentee owners: tenant sourcing and screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, periodic inspections, utility payments, and yearly tax filings. Pricing is a percentage of rental income (typical Pattaya range: 10–15%). Ask for our management brochure when you reach out.
Is now a good time to buy in Pattaya?+
Pattaya prices have been steady-to-rising since 2024 with strong rental demand from year-round international visitors and EEC-driven business travel. Major infrastructure (U-Tapao expansion, Bangkok–Pattaya high-speed rail targeting 2027) is expected to support further price growth in well-located beachfront and central locations. We'll show you area-specific data when we shortlist.
Can I view properties before flying to Thailand?+
Absolutely. We do live video walkthroughs over WhatsApp or LINE — you direct us to where you want to look (kitchens, balcony view, building lobby, beach distance). We can also arrange professional 360° photography or commissioned drone footage for serious buyers. Many of our international clients reserve a unit before their first visit.
What's the difference between freehold and leasehold?+
Freehold = you own the property outright, in perpetuity, registered in your name (or your company's). Available to foreigners on condos within the Foreign Quota. Leasehold = you hold a long-term lease (typically 30 years, sometimes renewable). Common for villa/land deals where freehold isn't legally available to foreigners. Resale and inheritance work differently — we'll explain implications for your situation.
Do I need a Thai visa to buy property?+
No visa is required to own property — you can buy on a tourist entry. To live in Thailand long-term, options include: Retirement Visa (50+, ~800k THB in Thai bank), Elite Visa (5–20 year, ~600k–5M THB), DTV / Long-Term Resident visas. Property ownership doesn't grant residency, but we can refer trusted visa specialists.
Pattaya Property Glossary
Common terms you'll encounter when buying property in Thailand. Bookmark this page — it'll save you a translator on closing day.
Foreign Quota (FQ)
The 49% portion of a condo building's saleable area that foreigners can own freehold in their own name.
Thai Quota
The 51% reserved for Thai owners. Foreigners can hold these only via Thai company or long-term lease — usually priced lower than FQ units.
Chanote (โฉนด / Nor Sor 4 Jor)
The strongest form of land title deed in Thailand. Surveyed, GPS-marked, fully transferable. Always preferred when buying land or villa.
Nor Sor 3 Gor (น.ส. 3 ก)
Confirmed land title with mapped boundaries — one rank below Chanote. Common upcountry; rare in central Pattaya.
Leasehold
A long-term lease (typically 30 years, sometimes with renewal options). Common structure for foreigners holding land or villas where freehold isn't possible.
Usufruct (สิทธิเก็บกิน)
A registered right to use and benefit from a property for life or up to 30 years — without owning the land itself.
Common Area Fee (CAM)
Monthly maintenance fee for shared facilities (pool, gym, lobby, security). Typical Pattaya range: ~30–80 THB per sqm per month.
Sinking Fund
A one-time payment at handover (usually ~500 THB/sqm) into a reserve for major future repairs (lifts, roof, façade).
Land Office (กรมที่ดิน)
Government office where property transfers are registered. The only place a sale becomes legally final — both buyer (or their lawyer) and seller must attend.
Yellow Book (Tabien Baan สีเหลือง)
Foreign-owner version of the Thai house registration book. Useful for opening Thai bank accounts and proving residence.
