Большинство иностранцев арендует condos в Bangkok — не houses — потому что leasehold apartments straightforward и buildings handle security, pools и often TM.30 house registration для immigration.
Типичные расходы при подписании
| Статья | Common practice |
|---|---|
| Deposit | 2 months' rent |
| Advance rent | 1 month |
| Agent fee | Often 1 month from landlord side; confirm who pays |
| Key / fob deposit | ฿500–2,000 refundable |
Budget 4 months' rent upfront для standard lease start.
Lease length vs visa
Match lease horizon to permitted stay. Signing 12 months на 60-day tourist stamp creates avoidable stress. DTV и retirement routes still require TM.30 updates on moves.

TM.30 и immigration
Landlords или juristic offices file TM.30 after you register stay address. You need receipts для many extensions. If a building refuses, choose another — do not assume an agent will fix it later.
