**Investing in Phuket in 2026: What Buyers Should Know**

Buying property in Phuket can still be a very good decision, but the market has become more complex.

Prices have increased, new developments are everywhere, branded residences are growing, and buyers are facing more questions around ownership, rental returns and developer promises.

A few points matter more than ever:

• **Ownership first** — Foreign buyers can own qualifying condos under the foreign freehold quota. Villas and land require different legal structures and should be reviewed carefully.

• **Location must match the objective** — Bang Tao, Laguna, Layan, Kamala, Patong, Rawai, Nai Harn, Kata and Karon all serve different buyer profiles.

• **Projected yields are not real yields** — Occupancy, management fees, maintenance, taxes, commissions and seasonality must be included.

• **Developer reputation matters** — Delivery history, construction quality and after-sales service can make a major difference.

• **Due diligence is essential** — Title, ownership structure, permits, contracts and encumbrances should be checked before funds are committed.

• **Negotiation still matters** — Some properties are genuinely scarce. Others are heavily marketed but still negotiable.

At JFTB Real Estate Phuket, we have been advising international buyers in Phuket since 2013.

Our role is simple: understand the buyer’s objective, compare the market, identify the risks, negotiate and help protect the buyer’s interests.

Our new website is currently being prepared, but **JFTB remains fully operational**.

**Thailand Tightens Nominee Company Scrutiny: What Foreign Property Buyers in Phuket Need to Know**

Thailand is increasing scrutiny of company structures involving foreign investors — and this is directly relevant to the **Phuket property** market.

According to Thailand’s Ministry of Commerce and Department of Business Development, **141 newly registered entities were identified as presenting nominee-related risks between August 1 and 20, 2026, compared with 561 during the same period in 2025.**

This does **not** mean that nominee companies in Thailand have fallen by 75%.

It means that tighter screening appears to be making potentially problematic structures more difficult to register.

For foreign buyers considering **Phuket real estate**, the key question is therefore not simply:

**“Can I buy this property?”**

It should also be:

**“What exactly will I legally own, and how will I own it?”**

A Thai company with foreign involvement is not automatically illegal.

The issue arises when Thai shareholders are used merely as nominees to conceal foreign control or circumvent restrictions on foreign land ownership.

This is particularly important when considering:

• villas with land
• properties held through existing Thai companies
• leasehold structures
• company-owned properties
• transactions involving land rights and foreign control

Proper due diligence should therefore examine not only the property itself, but also:

• the land title
• mortgages and encumbrances
• legal access and building permits
• the company structure
• shareholders and corporate history
• liabilities
• leasehold or superficies rights
• and the legal sustainability of the ownership structure

At **JFTB Real Estate Phuket**, we help foreign buyers understand the property, the ownership structure and the potential risks before committing funds.

**In Phuket real estate, the structure can be just as important as the property itself.**

Thailand is aiming for OECD membership by 2028.

At the same time, the country is tightening scrutiny of foreign land ownership, nominee structures and certain foreign-controlled businesses.

At first sight, that may seem contradictory.

In reality, the two developments can go together: Thailand wants to attract international capital while making its investment framework more transparent, predictable and enforceable.

For foreign property buyers, especially in Phuket, the key point is this:

**OECD membership does not mean foreigners will automatically be allowed to own land in Thailand.**

The practical rules remain the same today.

Foreign freehold condominiums remain one of the clearest direct ownership options for qualifying foreign buyers.

Villas and land require much more careful legal analysis, particularly regarding leasehold, superficies, land title, company structures and nominee risks.

What may change over time is the broader investment environment: clearer rules, more consistent enforcement and potentially fewer regulatory barriers.

For Phuket, that could be positive.

But buyers should never invest based on speculation about what Thailand may allow tomorrow.

**Buy according to the law that exists today — and make sure the ownership structure is properly reviewed before paying a deposit.**

**Can a Foreigner Buy a House in Thailand?**

Yes — but there is an important distinction.

A foreigner may be able to own the **house or villa itself**, while foreigners generally cannot own the **land underneath it directly in their personal name**.

So when considering a villa in Phuket, the real question should not simply be:

**“Can I buy it?”**

It should be:

**“What exactly will I legally own?”**

Depending on the property, you may need to understand:

• ownership of the building
• rights over the land
• registered leasehold
• superficies
• the proposed ownership structure
• mortgages or other encumbrances
• legal access and building permits

Foreign freehold condominiums are different and can generally be owned directly by foreigners, subject to the applicable foreign ownership quota and legal requirements.

Company structures also require particular caution. A legitimate operating company is very different from a nominee structure created primarily to circumvent restrictions on foreign land ownership.

**The property matters. The legal structure matters just as much.**

At JFTB Real Estate Phuket, we help foreign buyers understand what they are actually buying and coordinate independent due diligence before money changes hands.

Considering buying a villa or house in Phuket?

**Before paying a deposit, make sure you know exactly what you will own.**
