Here’s what to know:
- ✅ Condos are the easiest to rent out: If you legally own a condo (within the foreign quota), you're free to rent it out either short-term (where allowed) or long-term.
- ✅ Rental income is legal, but you should report it for tax purposes in Thailand.
- ✅ Houses or villas (often owned through leaseholds or Thai companies) can also be rented out, but it’s important to ensure the ownership structure supports rental activity.
