Frequently Asked Questions
As a foreigner, can I own a property in Koh Samui?
It’s absolutely achievable, through two established legal pathways:
- Leasehold: A registered lease secures your right to the land for up to 30 years, with full ownership of the building. Because JAM Development owns the land outright, you’re not exposed to third-party landlord risks. It’s a transparent, well-established structure and the model we use.
- Thai Limited Company: A genuinely Thai-majority company with real, verified investors can hold land. This route requires proper legal structuring and due diligence.
We recommend discussing your plans with us and an independent Thai property lawyer to find the right fit for your circumstances.
