The starting point
A foreigner cannot hold land in Thailand. Only a right over it.
| What most owners hold | Sell it | Heirs inherit it | Bank security |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-year lease | Landlord's consent | Contested | No |
| 51/49 Thai company | Sell the shares, and its history | Shares pass | Company level, not yours |
| Sap-Ing-Sith right | Freely | By statute | Yes, in law |
Most villas here are held through a company — the structure five agencies are reviewing in 2026. What that means, and the route out →
What our owners hold
One right, on the deed, in their own name.
Sap-Ing-Sith: a real right under the Property-Based Right Act B.E. 2562 (2019), inscribed on the Chanote next to the freehold owner. Open to any person, Thai or foreign.
What it gives you
Up to 30 years. Transferable without the landowner's consent. Inheritable by statute. Mortgageable as a matter of law. Survives a sale of the land.
What it does not
Not freehold — you do not own the land. No renewal mechanism in the Act, so never 60 or 90 years. Buildings revert at the end unless separately registered.
United Grace Co., Ltd. is 100% Thai-owned and owns its land outright — not in trust, not as a nominee. You hold a separate right in your own name. The legal detail →

Identical right on all three; changeable later. The buyer of the right pays all government fees and taxes: 2% transfer fee, 0.5% stamp duty, and a fixed Land Office fee. Management is separate, from 20%, published in full. Calculator →
The second question owners ask
What happens after 30 years.
The right expires and the land stays with the landowner. There is no renewal mechanism in the Act.
Before then you can sell the remaining term at any time, without anyone's consent — inside the network, at an indicative 1.5% instead of 6–10%, and 7–10 days to registration instead of 6–12 months on the market. How the exit works →
