🏡 Transfer and Mortgage Fees Reduced to 0.01% for Property Purchases in Phuket
The Thai government has announced a major real estate stimulus measure — a reduction of transfer and mortgage registration fees to just 0.01% for Thai citizens purchasing properties valued up to 7 million baht. This policy is expected to significantly ease transaction costs and encourage home ownership and investment in key areas like Phuket.
The measure will be effective from April 22, 2025 to June 30, 2026 and applies to both houses and condominium units nationwide.
