Yes — but they are very limited. The most notable exception applies to foreigners who hold Thai permanent residency. If you are a permanent resident of Thailand (not just on a long-stay visa or work permit), you are legally allowed to use Thai-earned baht to purchase a condominium in your own name, without needing to transfer foreign currency or provide a Tor Tor 3 form.
However, obtaining Thai permanent residency is a complex, time-consuming process that requires a long history of living and working in Thailand, a high level of documentation, and approval from the Ministry of Interior. For the vast majority of foreigners living in Thailand — even those who have been here for 10+ years — this exemption does not apply, and the foreign transfer requirement remains in place.
