Foreign quota explained simply

The foreign quota sounds technical but the idea is simple.

The 49% rule

In any condo building, no more than 49% of the total saleable floor area can be owned by foreigners. The remaining 51% must be Thai-owned. This keeps a balance in every building.

Why it matters to you

• If a building is already at its foreign limit, a foreigner cannot buy a unit there in their own name
• Quota availability changes as units sell, so it is checked per building, at the time you buy
• Thai-quota units are sometimes cheaper, but a foreigner cannot register them in their own name

How we handle it

Before you fall for a unit, we confirm the building has foreign quota available. It is a quick check that saves a lot of disappointment.
