*Alright so I want to know what the foreigners are doing to buy a house in thailand, im looking to buy an actual house house, not an apartment, in or around pattaya. Since I will not be able to finance it I will be paying for it in cash I have heard of people starting and putting it in a company name which sounds ideal from multiples perspectives. Im going to be getting an education visa for 1yr but have heard people doing the SMART visa and just doing a simple phone app for a business is all it takes... Perhaps the smart thing to do would be set the phone app company up to own the house and use that as well as the operations base? im to young for retirement visa so combining the house and this business for a visa seems like it would work great? anyone doing this? thoughts?*

Question for those who bought a condo:

Will Kasikorn/Bangkok Bank issue the FET (Foreign Exchange Transaction Form, proof for the LandOffice that the purchase price for the condo was sent from abroad in foreign currency) on the spot when you visit the branch or does the issuance of the document take time?

Thank you
