For those who are married to a Thai citizen, getting a loan is fairly straightforward. The loan will be in the Thai person's name and there are a number of banks who will give a mortgage loan. The following is usually required as well as additional paperwork in specific cases:
Marriage registration
The purchaser(s) must be able to provide proof of a steady income with employment or a business in Thailand. Proof of income earned overseas is taken into account but the main source of funds needs to be earned in Thailand
If the main income provider is a foreigner they must have held a work permit for a minimum of one year
If a loan is granted, the loan may often only cover half of the sales price; if additional funds are needed, up to 70 percent can be processed if a strong income can be proven. Interest rates will depend on the bank's Minimum Lending Rate or MLR.
Those not married to a Thai citizen will find it very difficult to get finance in Thailand to purchase property. However, a number of banks will lend to foreigners buying condominiums, as the title is secure.
