Thailand. Investor visa for buying real estate – how it works?
Thailand remains one of the most sought-after destinations for overseas real estate investment. Beyond rental yields and capital appreciation, investors are increasingly considering the country as a place for living or long-term stays. In this context, the investor visa (Non-B) becomes a relevant tool that can be obtained through property acquisition.
This format allows investors to combine asset ownership with the ability to legally reside in the country for an extended period.
What are the requirements for obtaining an investor visa in Thailand?
The key requirement is the purchase of property that meets specific legal criteria.
Main parameters of the program:
– property value from 3 million baht (~$100,000)
– the property must be completed and ready for occupancy
– ownership must be registered as freehold (full ownership)
– a registered sale and purchase agreement must be in place
– confirmation of full payment for the property
Validity and benefits of the visa
The investor visa is issued for 12 months, with the possibility of extension provided the conditions are maintained.
An additional advantage is the ability to obtain visas not only for the investor but also for family members:
– spouse
– children under 20 years old (provided they are unmarried and live with the applicant)
– parents of the investor aged over 50
This makes the program particularly convenient for those considering relocation or long-term residence in Thailand with their family.
Why investors choose Thailand
Thailand combines several factors that make it attractive to international buyers:
– stable tourist flow and strong rental demand
– accessible entry price compared to Europe and the Middle East
– well-developed infrastructure in resort areas
– a clear and structured property purchase process for foreigners
– the ability to combine investment with personal use
For many investors, this is not just a property purchase, but also a way to diversify both assets and lifestyle.
What types of properties qualify
Selecting the right property is essential for obtaining the investor visa. The asset must meet all requirements – be completed, properly registered in ownership, and located in a liquid area.
In our portfolio, we offer projects that:
– are already completed and ready for occupancy
– or will be delivered in the near term (including in 2026)

The investor visa in Thailand is a practical solution for those who want not only to purchase real estate, but also to secure the right to live in the country legally.
This format is particularly relevant for investors who view Thailand as:
– a destination for winter stays or long-term living
– an alternative to European residency programs
– a market with strong rental income and growth potential
