There are foreign ownership restrictions for condos in Hua Hin. According to Thailand Condominium Act of 1979 foreign individuals are allowed to own condo units in Thailand but the total number of units owned by foreign individuals in any one condo must not exceed 49%. Additionally the homebuyer must have the funds to purchase the unit in a foreign currency and must transfer the funds from abroad. In order to purchase a condominium unit in Thailand expats must also obtain permission from the Ministry of Interior. It is important to note that these restrictions apply only to condo units and not to other types of real estate in Thailand.
