Foreigners cannot generally own land in Thailand but may own condominium units freehold within the 49% foreign quota of a building, and may hold land under registered leases of up to 30 years.
We conduct title searches at the Land Office, review developer contracts and register leases, and advise on the limits of renewal clauses often marketed as '30+30'.
What we handle
- Title and encumbrance searches.
- Sale and purchase contract review.
- Lease drafting and registration.
- Construction contract review.

Counsel's note
Lease renewal options beyond 30 years are contractual promises, not registered rights, and their enforceability against successors is limited.
