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

Freehold Condominium Ownership

Foreigners can hold this unit as 100% freehold in their own name, provided the project remains within the 49% foreign ownership quota allowed under the Thailand Condominium Act B.E. 2522. Ownership is registered at the Land Office and the title (Chanote) is issued directly to the buyer.

  • Funds for the purchase must be remitted from abroad in foreign currency.
  • A Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) form is required from the receiving Thai bank.
  • Ownership is permanent, inheritable, and freely transferable to another foreigner.
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 Kata

Kata sits on the southwest coast, two bays south of Patong and one north of Nai Harn. The area is built around two beaches, Kata Yai and the smaller Kata Noi, both with cleaner sand and calmer water than Patong, plus a reliable surf break from May to October that keeps a small but committed long-stay surf community on the island year round. The foreign population here splits into three groups: surf and dive instructors who came on a season and stayed, retirees who chose Kata over Rawai for direct beach access, and remote workers who rent condos in Kata Hills for the views. Day to day life is walkable along Kata Beach Road and Patak Road, with bakeries, Thai kitchens, two small supermarkets and a steady rotation of cafes opening and closing each season. Nightlife is low key compared to Patong: a handful of bars, the Ska Bar sundowner spot under the banyan tree, and the weekend Kata Night Market for street food. Schools require a car, with Kajonkiet the closest international option and the Phuket Town cluster reachable in 25 to 30 minutes. Healthcare is well covered by Mission Hospital and Bangkok Hospital Phuket on the Chalong side of the hill. The trade-offs are real high season traffic on the Patak hill road and limited supermarket options on site, but Kata works well for buyers who want a proper beach lifestyle without Patong density.
