What changed:<\/strong> Nothing in the foreign ownership quota. Proposals to raise the condominium foreign quota<\/a> from 49 percent to 75 percent, and to allow 99-year leases, have circulated since 2024. Neither has been enacted. No bill has been tabled in parliament. The 49 percent cap and the 30-year lease ceiling both remain the law.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The quota is one of the first checks in our guide to buying property in Thailand<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Effective:<\/strong> Not applicable, because there is nothing in force to be effective. What did<\/em> change in 2026: the transfer and mortgage<\/a> fee cut to 0.01 percent was renewed by Ministry of Interior announcements published in the Royal Gazette on 1 July 2026, running to 30 June 2027<\/strong>. Read the next line carefully, because most coverage omits it: that fee cut is restricted to individual Thai nationals and does not apply to foreign buyers.<\/strong><\/p>

Who it affects:<\/strong> Foreign buyers considering a Thai condominium, anyone offered a 90-year or 99-year lease structure, and owners in buildings already at the 49 percent foreign limit. The quota decides whether a given unit can go in your name at all, so check it before you pay anything.<\/p>

What to do now:<\/strong> Buy on the law as it stands. Never pay a premium for a unit priced on an expected rule change. Verify the building’s remaining foreign quota in writing before you sign, and treat any 99-year lease offer as a structure a Thai court has already looked through.<\/p>

Last verified:<\/strong> 1 August 2026, against the Condominium Act<\/a> B.E. 2522 section 19 bis, section 540 of the Civil and Commercial Code<\/a>, Supreme Court<\/a> Decision 4655\/2566, and a negative check of the Royal Gazette for any amending instrument.<\/small><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
