How Can I Verify a Condo Has Foreign-Freehold Quota for My Unit?

Under Thai law, a foreigner may own a condominium unit freehold, but only up to the building's foreign quota and subject to the unit title being registered in the buyer's name. To verify, ask the seller or a buyer-side lawyer for: (1) the condo's approved foreign quota percentage and the unit's allocation; (2) the unit’s title or registration showing foreign ownership; (3) the condo juristic-person registration or building book that records foreign-ownership status; (4) a plain-language ownership diagram from the lawyer showing the land, building, condominium unit and registered rights; (5) confirmation of transfer eligibility and any restrictions on new buyers. Also check with the Land Office or a Thai property lawyer for the current rules, and ensure all documents align with the planned transfer date. If there is no available quota or the unit cannot be registered in your name, timing matters; do not pay a deposit until you have written confirmation. This is general guidance; consult independent Thai legal advice for the specific transaction.
