What Is a 30-Year Lease in Thailand?

Thailand Property Ownership · 2025-09-24

The Civil and Commercial Code generally limits a lease of immovable property to 30 years for each registered term. A lease longer than three years should be in writing and registered to be enforceable beyond three years. Renewal language may express an intention to renew, but it should not be treated as the same as a currently registered 60- or 90-year property right. Review assignability, inheritance, early termination, sale of the land and renewal mechanics. This is general educational information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Property structures, taxes, licences and registration practice can change or depend on the facts. Use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified accountant before committing money or signing documents. The exact structure should be confirmed in writing by a qualified Thai lawyer acting for the buyer.
