Why invest in Phuket 🇹🇭


Thailand’s resort island offers strong holiday-rental yields and villa living, with leasehold and structured freehold routes for foreign buyers. Best approached with care on ownership structure, which is where we help. Buyers exploring a longer stay can also weigh Thailand’s residency routes, such as the Thailand Privilege (Elite) visa and the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa.

Tax & ownership

At a glance — tap to expand

Foreigners may own condominium units freehold within a building's 49% foreign quota.

Land cannot be owned freehold by foreigners; villas are held on a registered long leasehold (commonly 30 years, renewable) or via appropriate structures.

Transfer fee, stamp duty / specific business tax and withholding tax apply; rental income is taxable.

Options include the Thailand Privilege and LTR programmes.

Tax and ownership information is general in nature, may change, and is not tax or legal advice. Figures and rules should be confirmed for your circumstances with a qualified adviser. Oakbrick can coordinate this alongside your own advisers.

Cross-border compliance

Structured for your home country.

Buying in Phuket is the straightforward part. Moving capital and reporting it correctly at home is where most investors get stuck. We coordinate every purchase with licensed tax and legal partners in your market, so your investment is compliant from day one.

Oakbrick is a real-estate advisory, not a tax or legal firm. We structure each transaction alongside licensed tax and legal partners; thresholds such as the LRS limit are indicative and subject to current regulations.
