Thailand Extends Reduced Property Transfer and Mortgage Registration Fees

Subscribe to Updates

Thailand will keep its reduced government fees for property sale and mortgage registration in place for another year. Two Ministry of Interior notifications, issued following a cabinet resolution on June 30, 2026, and published in the Government Gazette on July 1, 2026, extend the previously reduced fee levels through June 30, 2027.

The reduced registration fees apply to the sale and mortgage of the same property types covered in prior versions of the scheme: detached houses, semidetached houses, row houses, commercial buildings, land transferred together with such buildings, and condominium units. To be eligible for the reduced fees, the purchase price, the officially assessed value, and the mortgage amount must each not exceed THB 7 million, and the buyer must be a Thai individual.

The reduced registration fees for eligible sales and mortgages are calculated as follows:

  • Sale: 0.01% of the official assessed value (reduced from standard rate of 2%)
  • Mortgage: 0.01% of the mortgage amount (reduced from standard rate of 1%)

The reduced mortgage registration fee applies only if the mortgage is registered at the same time as the sale of the property.

Condominium ownership has become an increasingly popular method of investment in Thailand by foreign investors. When making the decision to purchase a condominium, however, it is necessary for foreigners to comply with several conditions under the Condominium Act B.E. 2522 (A.D. 1979). One issue that is frequently raised by foreign investors is what will happen to their condominium if they pass away. Given the broad range of conditions attached to condominium ownership, foreign investors are justified in wondering about the requirements that will apply to their successor.

On October 11, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC) approved the regulatory framework for establishing real estate investment trusts (REITs) in Thailand. The evolution of real property financing in Thailand—from primarily bank loans to the rigid Property Fund for Public Offering (PFPO) to the proposed REIT—reflects the liberalization of the Thai market, the need for alternative funding options in the wake of the recovery of Thailand’s property sector, and the need for Thailand to maintain its regional competitiveness.

According to official doctrine, land in Vietnam belongs to the people, while the use of such land is administered on the people’s behalf by the State. Thus, “land ownership” is more appropriately referred to as a “land use right” (LUR). The State administers the LUR by issuing a Land Use Right Certificate (LURC), similar to a title deed to real property in the West. LURCs designate, among other things, the duration and purpose of the land use. Any use of the land beyond the scope of the LUR can lead to a withdrawal of the LUR by the State.
