FAQs—answers before you even ask
Because smart decisions start with clarity.
Can foreigners buy property in Southeast Asia?
Yes, but the rules vary by country.In Bali, foreigners can’t own freehold land but can acquire property through a long-term leasehold or by setting up a foreign-owned company (PT PMA).In Thailand, condos can be owned freehold by foreigners (up to 49% of a building). The Philippines and Vietnam have similar restrictions, allowing foreigners to own condos but not land directly—often requiring leaseholds or corporate structures.
How much deposit do I need to buy property?
Deposits usually range between 10% and 30% of the property price, depending on the country and whether you’re financing or paying in cash. Developers may also offer installment plans for off-plan properties.
Can I get a mortgage as a foreigner?
Mortgage options for foreigners are limited but available in some Southeast Asian countries. Thai and Philippine banks rarely offer loans to non-residents, but Vietnam has started offering limited financing. Many buyers opt for developer financing, private lenders, or overseas mortgages instead.
How long does the buying process take?
The timeline depends on due diligence, legal procedures, and payment structure. A standard transaction can take:Condos (Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines): 30–60 daysLeasehold villas or land (Bali): 2–6 months, depending on structuringNew developments: Varies based on construction progress
What is the best location to invest in Southeast Asia?
It depends on your goals:Manila, Philippines – Strong rental demand, urban condos, expat hubs.Da Nang, Vietnam – Affordable beach properties, growing expat and tourist market.Hua Hin, Thailand – Relaxed lifestyle, luxury beachfront villas, retirement destination.Bali, Indonesia – High ROI in short-term rentals, tourism-driven market, leasehold villa investment.
Can I rent out my property as a foreigner?
Yes! However, each country has different rental laws. Bali: Leasehold villa rentals are common, but check local zoning rules. Thailand: Condos can be rented out, but short-term Airbnb-style rentals are restricted in some areas. Philippines: No restrictions on renting condos, but property managers are recommended. Vietnam: Foreigners can rent out property, but licensing may be required.
What are the biggest mistakes buyers make?
Skipping legal checks – Always verify ownership, titles, and zoning laws. Ignoring leasehold terms – Many foreign buyers don’t fully understand leasehold vs. freehold structures. Underestimating costs – Taxes, fees, and maintenance costs can add up quickly. Buying without visiting – Always inspect the property or hire a trusted agent before purchasing. Not having an exit strategy – If you plan to resell, ensure there's a strong market demand for the property type.
