Thailand's new visa deal offers residency for condo buyers in Bangkok
A new campaign launched in April 2026 is making it easier for foreigners to secure long-term residency in Thailand. By purchasing a condominium worth at least THB 3 million, buyers can now apply for a one-year long-stay visa. The initiative is part of a broader push to position Thailand as a leading destination for international residents and investors. The campaign is a joint effort between SC, a major property developer, and Thai Longstay Management. Together, they are offering visa privileges to buyers of condominiums priced from THB 3 million upwards. The deal applies to completed property transfers under SC’s Reference, COBE, and SCOPE brands.
Six prime Bangkok locations are featured in the campaign, including Wongwianyai, Rama 9, Kaset, Langsuan, Prom Phong, and Thonglor. These areas were chosen for their high growth potential and appeal to international buyers. SC has long focused on creating residences that meet global standards, emphasising quality, location, and after-sales support. The move aligns with Thailand’s goal of becoming a 'World-Class Living Destination'. The country already attracts retirees, medical tourists, students, and those fleeing global instability. By easing visa restrictions, SC aims to make long-term stays more accessible for foreign investors and residents.
The campaign reflects SC’s ongoing commitment to reducing barriers for international buyers. With visa incentives tied to property purchases, the developer hopes to boost demand for high-quality residences in Bangkok. The initiative also supports Thailand’s efforts to strengthen its reputation as a top global living destination.
