How can I pay for an apartment?

The method of payment for real estate in Thailand depends on the type of property:
Freehold — SWIFT transfer from abroad or confirmation of foreign origin of funds;
Leasehold — any payment method: cash, transfer from a Russian or Thai card, cryptocurrency, SWIFT transfer.

The reservation can be paid for in any convenient way, regardless of the type of property.

*IMPORTANT: SWIFT from Russia is almost non-existent, only Tinkoff at 300K baht per day. It is possible to transfer through partners, but this is an additional cost. In general, we set the client up that if it is for investment, it is better to take Leasehold (lower costs, they also issue a certificate of ownership, you can bequeath, etc.).

Why buy now?

1) In real estate it is always like this - you should have bought yesterday, or better yet 5 years ago.
2) Prices in Bang Tao are steadily growing (they even grew during Covid), the supply of apartments is limited. If you want to choose what you like, you better hurry.
3) In the current global situation, it is better to diversify assets, especially from ruble ones, since the rate will only grow.
4) You can agree on an individual installment plan and fix it by making a deposit of only 100,000 baht (about 3K dollars). You can postpone the first payment if you need to raise money, but the terms and price will already be yours and will not change.
