ZEN team made our family relocation seamless. The legal DD caught issues two other agents missed. Thank you Nattaya & Russell.

06 · ANSWERS
Common questions, candidly answered.
Thai banks generally do not lend to foreigners. Most foreign buyers use cash, developer payment plans (off-plan 30/30/30/10), or international financing from their home country.
Foreigners cannot own land freehold in Thailand. Standard structures: (1) registered 30-year leasehold of the land + freehold ownership of the building on top; (2) condo foreign freehold quota (49% of building). ZEN does NOT use nominee Thai companies — Operation Nominee Sweep 2024 made this high-risk.
Thai Supreme Court ruling Dika 4655/2566 (March 2025) invalidated pre-signed renewals. Only registered 30 years is enforceable. Optional renewals are subject to mutual agreement at the time, not pre-bound.
Yes — we offer full management (housekeeping, guest relations, marketing, accounting) for 15-20% of gross rental. Typical net yield 3-6% per year for ZEN ticket range.
Typical timeline: 2-3 weeks for ready villas (DD + reservation + contract + transfer). Off-plan: 6-24 months depending on construction phase.
Yes. Thailand Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa "Wealthy Global Citizen" category requires $500K minimum, and Phuket real estate counts toward this. 10-year residency, no 90-day reporting, fast-track immigration.
