Owning Property with Land

Land ownership for non-Thai nationals is best explained by separating the physical building from the land itself.  

The building (the bricks and mortar) can be owned by a non-Thai national outright in their name in what is called the house registry which secures ownership indefinitely of the structure. 

In Thailand non-Thai nationals cannot own land outright in their name. Land can be controlled through either a Thai Company or a long-term registered lease. The longest registered lease term by Thai law is 30 years and most developers will offer 3 terms for a total of 90 years.

These two methods are the most common vehicles for securing land interest in Thailand.
