Prepare for a home-loan application in Thailand
Review your income, debts, documents and purchase costs before applying. Compare written offers; the lender decides approval and terms.
Prepare the financial picture before you reserve a home. The lender assesses your application, the property and its own lending conditions. A preliminary discussion or online estimate is not an approval.
Bring a complete picture
List your regular income, existing loan repayments, card balances and other commitments. Ask the lender which income evidence and statement periods it needs for your employment or business type. If you obtain a credit report, review it for errors through the bureau’s correction process.
Plan the cash you need
Allow for the deposit, any gap between the price and approved borrowing, transfer-day charges and move-in costs. Ask the lender for an itemised cost list and the effect of a changed interest rate. Avoid changing or adding debt solely on the assumption it will secure approval.
Compare written offers
Compare the interest formula after the promotional period, repayments, fees, insurance conditions and early-repayment terms. The Bank of Thailand’s comparison guide explains what to compare. Confirm the offer directly with each lender.
Prepare the application
