Typically, buying investment-grade property in Bangkok takes
2 to 16 weeks, depending on the asset type and deal structure. Here's a rough timeline:
🏙️
Condominiums (Foreign Quota) 2–6 weeks: If the unit is ready, ownership is straightforward, and the buyer pays in full from abroad (under foreign quota).
- Includes due diligence, contract signing, money transfer, and land office transfer.
🏘️
Houses, Land, or Commercial Property (Thai Entity or BOI Structure) 8–16+ weeks: If land or company ownership is involved (as foreign buyers can’t own land directly), additional time is needed for:
- Legal setup (e.g. Thai company, BOI approval, lease structuring)
- Due diligence (land titles, permits, zoning, encumbrances)
- Corporate structuring and transfer (if through a share sale)
🛠️
Renovation Projects 6–16 weeks pre-acquisition: Includes asset sourcing, value assessment, and legal review.
- Renovation planning starts post-transfer and adds months depending on project scope.
