Foreign property ownership laws in Southeast Asia vary widely, requiring investors to understand restrictions, legal structures, and available options.

Thailand: Foreigners cannot own land, but they can buy condominiums (up to 49% of a building’s units) or lease land for 30 years (with renewal options).

Vietnam: Foreigners can buy apartments but cannot own land, as all land is government-owned. However, they can hold 50-year leasehold property rights.

Indonesia: Foreign buyers can own property through long-term lease agreements or under a Hak Pakai (Right to Use) title.

The Philippines: Foreigners cannot own land but can buy condominiums and lease land for up to 50 years.

Malaysia: One of the most foreign-friendly markets, allowing foreigners to buy freehold property above a set price threshold.

Many investors use nominee structures, joint ventures, or corporate ownership to navigate legal restrictions. Understanding these laws helps foreign investors choose the right country for their real estate goals while complying with local regulations.
