Comment Sécuriser sa Maison en Thaïlande à 100% (Usufruit vs Leasehold)

This video explains how foreigners can legally purchase property in Thailand, focusing on the common pitfalls and recommended solutions. In Thailand, foreign nationals are strictly prohibited from owning land directly, which also makes purchasing a house, whose ownership is tied to land, problematic. To circumvent this law, expatriates typically employ three main strategies. The first, setting up a company, is highlighted as a significant financial and legal risk. The second is a 30-year lease agreement, which may not appeal to everyone who prefers outright ownership. The third and most common option is joint ownership with a Thai spouse, which is the primary focus of this video. The presenter, who has lived in Thailand for 10 years and assists expatriates, aims to explain how to secure this arrangement to protect one's investment, even if the marriage ends.
