Yes, a foreigner can buy a new or used boat in Thailand. However, you will need an address in Thailand, which is used to register the boat. There are many different ways in which a yacht can be registered, with the primary category for privately owned yachts being Sports & Recreation. This means that the yacht cannot be used for commercial activities. Our team in Phuket can advise on how to register a boat in Thailand.
Thanks to new legislation, foreign yachts, including motor boats and sailing yachts, can now stay in Thailand for up to two years and six months. Visiting yachts will require a Certificate of Entry before arrival, which can be applied for before travel. N&J's team of yacht brokers in Phuket will be able to offer advice and guidance on entering Thailand.
