Introduction
Buying property on Phuket is an investment that attracts many foreign buyers. However, the question of mortgages without a residence permit (RP) in Thailand raises many questions. In this article, we will examine the available opportunities and alternatives for investors, and provide an example calculation to help you better understand the process of purchasing property with installment plans.
Opportunities for Foreign Buyers
Traditional mortgages for foreign citizens without an RP are not available in Thailand. However, most developers on Phuket offer the opportunity to buy property on Phuket with interest-free installments during the construction period. Some large companies can offer installment plans for up to 15 years with an interest rate of only 6% per annum. These companies are financially stable, and their shares are traded on the Thai stock exchange.
Advantages of Developer Installments
- No Need for RP: You can buy property on Phuket without the need for a residence permit.
- Long-term Installments: Payment terms of up to 15 years.
- Low Interest Rate: The interest rate is only 6%, significantly lower compared to alternative offers.
- Transparent Conditions: The installment conditions are clear and transparent, making the purchase process predictable and safe.
