We work with no commission — our services are paid for by the developer. You buy the property at the same price as the developer, or even cheaper in some cases. On the resale market, our services are paid by the seller. For buyers, it's always free.

saving up to 1,000,000 RUB.

Yes, foreigners can buy apartments under the foreign quota. This doesn’t require a residence permit. The unit is registered in your name in the national property registry. Up to 49% of units in a condominium can be sold to foreigners.
No, foreigners cannot own land in Thailand. However, villas can be purchased through a leasehold — a long-term lease for 30 years with the option to renew. That’s how most foreigners buy villas on Phuket.
No. A passport is enough. The transaction can even be completed remotely without visiting Thailand.
No. But some developers offer a complimentary Elite Visa valid for 5 years, allowing unlimited stays in Thailand without leaving the country. Normally, such a visa costs around 22 000$.
Freehold means full ownership — the property is registered in your name or your company’s name. In Pattaya, all properties are sold as freehold.
Leasehold is a 30-year long-term lease with renewal options. Common for villa purchases on Phuket.
By law, foreigners can only own condominium units — not land — in full ownership. Developers allocate 49% of the units for foreigners; this share is the foreign quota.
The remaining 51% of units in a condominium can only be owned by Thai citizens. However, foreigners often purchase such properties through a Thai company.
New projects are usually sold with 0% installments for up to 4 years and a down payment starting at 20%, making entry easier. Ready-to-move-in apartments can be rented out immediately. The choice depends on your goals.
Pattaya: lower prices, developed city infrastructure, high-rise condos with sea views. Phuket: island lifestyle, world-class beaches, and higher rental yields — up to 12% per year in foreign currency.
In Pattaya, new condos start from $60,000 (installments up to 4 years at 0%). Resale units start from $40,000. Villas from $120,000. On Phuket, prices are roughly 50% higher.
Yes. You’ll need a passport, a notarized power of attorney (can be mailed), and a local agent. Around 50% of our clients buy remotely.
Only a passport. If buying remotely, add a notarized power of attorney sent by post.
Technically yes, but approval requires long-term residence in Thailand, local income, and a credit history. It’s usually easier to use developer installment plans (0% up to 4 years). Some offer extended plans up to 15 years at ~6%.

If rented out, annual costs (tax, maintenance, insurance) total 20–25 000 THB (~1 700–2 000 THB per month).
If you live there, add utilities — typically 1 500–3 500 THB per month.
Buying at the early stage, renting out, and selling after 5 years can yield up to 20% annual returns in foreign currency (including capital gain). Ready apartments usually bring 6–12% per year. Developers or management companies handle tenants — income is fully passive.
Developers are flexible and may allow deferred payments. If the situation is critical, you can always resell the contract — often with a profit.
