For Foreign Buyers

Buying in Phuket as a Foreign National

A focused legal, tax, visa and lifestyle briefing tailored to this property and its location. Information is general guidance — InDreams Phuket recommends consulting a Thai-licensed lawyer before signing any reservation agreement.

01

Property Ownership Rules

Ownership Structure

Foreign ownership in Thailand depends on the asset class. Condominium units may be purchased freehold (within the 49% foreign quota). Villas and houses are typically structured via long-term registered leasehold (30+30+30) or a Thai limited company. Our legal partners will recommend the optimal structure for this property.

02

Investment Returns

5–8%
Typical net yield (area average)
60–70%
Annual income earned in Nov–Apr high season
8–12 yrs
Typical payback for well-managed rental units

Net rental yields in Phuket\'s prime west-coast areas typically range from 5% to 8%, depending on location, building age, management quality and seasonal occupancy. Capital appreciation in the same areas has historically averaged 5–7% per annum.

03

Tax & Fees for Foreign Buyers

Transfer Fee
2.0%
Of the government-appraised value. Most commonly split 50/50 between buyer and seller, but this is negotiable per contract.
Specific Business Tax (SBT)
3.3%
Applies if the seller has held the property for less than 5 years. Usually paid by the seller.
Stamp Duty
0.5%
Paid only if the SBT does not apply. Typically the seller's responsibility.
Withholding Tax
1–3%
Calculated on a progressive scale based on the seller's holding period. Always paid by the seller, never by the buyer.
Annual Land & Building Tax
0.02–0.10%
On the appraised value; rates depend on use (residential vs. commercial / leased).
Gift Tax
5%
Applies on transfers above 20 MTHB to non-relatives. Inheritance tax is 5% (descendants) or 10% (others) on estate value above 100 MTHB.

Total combined closing costs for a foreign buyer typically fall in the 3–5% range of the purchase price, depending on the deal structure and how transfer fees are split. InDreams Phuket can request a written closing-cost estimate from our partner law firm before you commit.

Lifestyle for Expats in Chalong

Chalong is the practical and administrative heart of southern Phuket. It is not a beach destination in the traditional sense, since the bay is used as an anchorage for the islands rather than for swimming, but that is exactly why it works so well as a long stay base. Chalong Circle is the road junction where Phuket Town, Rawai, Kata and the Big Buddha all meet, which means almost everything the foreign community needs sits within a five kilometre radius: Makro, Tesco Lotus, Villa Market, half the islands visa agents, the immigration office, dental clinics, motorbike rentals and Mission Hospital. The expat population is large and mixed, with strong British, Australian, French, Scandinavian and Russian communities, plus a steady flow of families connected to the British Curriculum International School (BCIS), which sits right in the area. Day to day life skews residential. People live in moo baan estates and condos in the hills above the bay, drive to Rawai or Nai Harn for beach time, and use Chalong Pier for weekend trips to Coral Island, Racha and the Phi Phi group. Dining ranges from the long established Kan Eang at Pier on the bay to Greek Kitchen on the Big Buddha road and Chalong Bay Rum distillery tours. Chalong suits buyers who want infrastructure, school access and value rather than a beachfront address.
