Key Takeaways
- The entire property purchase process typically takes 1–3 months from search to transfer
- Foreigners can only own condominiums freehold; houses/land require leasehold structures
- A valid FETF (Foreign Exchange Transaction Form) is essential for foreign condo ownership
- Due diligence by a qualified lawyer is the most important step — never skip it
- Always verify the title deed type: chanote (Nor Sor 4 Jor) offers the highest security
