Buy a Property, Get a Visa: Thailand’s Game-Changing Long-Term Stay Visa Is Here

Now available in Phuket: Secure your dream home and a long-term visa for you and your family. 

A New Way to Call Thailand Home

For years, Thailand has welcomed visitors with open arms, but not always with open visa policies. Those who dreamed of staying long term often found themselves navigating complex rules, frequent renewals, and unclear pathways. Retirement visas had age restrictions. Work permits required a job sponsor. And elite memberships came with hefty fees and no ownership benefits.

But now, everything has changed.

In a landmark policy shift, the Thai government has introduced a visa that truly rewards investment. By purchasing a qualifying property in Phuket, starting at just 3 million baht, you can now obtain a renewable one year long stay visa. Not only for yourself, but for your spouse, children, and even your parents.

At La Maison Coral, we’re here to make that transition effortless.

Why This Visa Changes Everything

This isn’t just a new option, it’s a breakthrough.

  • Low Entry Point: Only a 3 million baht property investment required

  • Full Legal Residency: Stay in Thailand legally year after year

  • Multiple Entry Freedom: Come and go anytime

  • Family Inclusion: Bring your loved ones with you

  • No Elite Fees or Age Restrictions: Just invest and live

If you've ever felt Thailand’s visa system was too complicated or unwelcoming, this is your open door.

What Properties Qualify

You’re eligible if you:

  • Buy a freehold condo worth 3 million Thai baht or more

  • Rent a luxury property at 85,000 Thai baht per month, or buy a 30 year leasehold property at a price such that the equivalent monthly lease is more than 85,000 Thai baht per month

Ownership must be under your name, and funds must be transferred from abroad through official channels.

Common Questions

Can I work on this visa?
No, but you can work remotely for a company based outside Thailand.

Can my children attend school?
Yes, dependent visa holders can enroll in local or international schools.

Is this better than the Elite Visa?
For many, yes. No membership fees, and you actually own something of value: your property.

What happens if I sell the property?
If you no longer meet the 3 million baht investment threshold, the visa cannot be renewed. But you can reinvest and requalify.

Your Home, and Your Visa, Are Waiting

Thailand has never made it this easy to stay. With the right property and the right knowledge, you can live in Phuket legally, comfortably, and indefinitely.
