If you are buying in your own name under the foreign quota, budget the standard <strong>2 percent transfer fee<\/strong>. Where the reduction can matter to you is on a resale: a Thai buyer purchasing from you may qualify, which affects what the market will bear before 30 June 2027.<\/small>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"why-the-quota-proposal-keeps-stalling\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u0e17\u0e33\u0e44\u0e21\u0e02\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e40\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e42\u0e04\u0e27\u0e15\u0e32\u0e08\u0e36\u0e07\u0e22\u0e31\u0e07\u0e04\u0e07\u0e0a\u0e30\u0e07\u0e31\u0e01\u0e07\u0e31\u0e19<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The economic argument is easy to state. Thai developers hold unsold inventory, foreign demand exists, and raising the cap would clear stock. The political argument against it is just as easy, and it has proven stronger: opponents frame a 75 percent cap as allowing foreign-majority buildings, and enclave anxiety is potent in Thai politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Successive governments have studied the measure without tabling it.

A foreign buyer registering a unit under the foreign quota pays the standard 2 percent transfer fee. Most English-language coverage reports the headline 0.01 percent rate without this condition, which is how foreign buyers end up budgeting 700 baht for a fee that will actually be 140,000 baht on a 7 million baht purchase.

The proposal has been discussed for two years without a bill, faces real political opposition, and may never pass or may pass in a narrowed form limited to certain zones.
