THEVA SECURE OWNERSHIP
Invest with peace of mind. Truly.
Thailand is becoming one of the safest real estate markets in the world for those who invest with the right protections. At THEVA, they are written, registered, enforceable — and downloadable, all the way to the title deeds.
Thailand has never been safer to invest in.
The laws that protect property in Thailand are not new. What has changed is that they are now being enforced. The State is cleaning up the market, weeding out unsound structures and rewarding solid models. For a serious investor, this is exactly the news we were waiting for.
THEVA built its model on the right side of that line — across all its projects, from day one.
The market is cleaning up. Solid models win. Ours is one of them.
The model in 30 seconds
THEVA owns the land — every project has its own THEVA Terra, a 100% Thai company created on purpose, whose sole activity is holding the soil and the leases of that one residence. THEVA builds your villa. THEVA manages the rental and the estate. And you: a 30-year lease, prepaid and registered in your name, and a right of superficies that makes you the legal owner of your villa — both recorded on the Chanote, the official title deed. One chain, zero intermediaries, zero grey area.
YOUR PROJECT'S THEVA TERRA
owns the land and leases of this residence (100% Thai, one per project)
THEVA CONSTRUCTION
builds your villa
THEVA SUPERHOST
operates rental & estate
YOU
lease + superficies registered in your name
One model, every project: every THEVA residence — today and tomorrow — is built on this same structure.
A simple structure. Your name on the title. Nothing to hide.
The words to know — 60 seconds
Chanote
the official title deed for a plot of land, issued by the Department of Lands. The register where every right is recorded.
Registered lease
your right to lease the plot, recorded in the register. It protects you for its full term, even if the land changes hands.
Right of superficies
the right to own the house built on someone else's land. This is what makes you the owner of your villa.
Servitude
a right of way and of utilities recorded on a plot. It guarantees your access, water and electricity.
Official appraised value
the official price of a property, set and published by the Treasury Department, revised every four years. No private appraiser, no negotiated figure.
Enforceable against all
binding on everyone, including any future buyer of the land and the authorities. This is the effect of a right registered at the Land Office.
With THEVA, you are protected from day one to resale. Three stages, three safeguards.
SECURED BEFORE
You buy safely.
Your rights — the lease and the superficies — are registered in your name on the Chanote, within a legal land subdivision, before the first stone is even laid. Nothing to hide: no nominee, no false declaration to sign — you would pass any State inspection with complete peace of mind. Your money is protected: every payment goes through an escrow account and flows directly to the right company. You only pay what is built: THEVA Flow ties every instalment to a verified milestone, with photographic evidence on the THEVA App. And the financing is in-house: THEVA Financia, without a bank, designed for foreign buyers.
Your name on the title before the first stone.
SECURED DURING
Your villa is yours.
Your right of superficies, recorded on the Chanote, makes you the legal owner of the building. A real right, enforceable against all, that survives even a sale of the land. The soil stays Thai — its title belongs to THEVA Terra — but your lease is registered in your name on that same title. And the land is ring-fenced: your project's THEVA Terra does one thing only — holding the soil of your residence and collecting its rents. No debt, no commercial risk, no other activity: your land can never be dragged into any financial trouble. Construction and sales (THEVA Construction) and rental (THEVA SuperHost) live in separate, sealed-off companies. And every project has its own Terra: your residence depends on no other. Your comfort is guaranteed over time: a 5-year structural warranty, where the market standard is 1 to 2 years. Your price is locked at reservation — no increase possible. Your rental income is fully legal through SuperHost, and the estate is maintained under a dedicated management contract: transparent charges, and above a defined amount, every investment decision is put to an owners' vote.
YOUR PROJECT'S THEVA TERRA
owns the land and the leases of this residence only · collects the prepaid rents · no debt, no other activity
THEVA CONSTRUCTION
villa construction and sale
THEVA SUPERHOST
rental management
One dedicated land company per project. Your residence depends on no other.
A real right in your name — not a promise.
SECURED AFTER
You stay in control.
At term, the renewal is offered to you first — to you, ahead of any third party, with no limit on cycles. It is written into your contract with THEVA Terra. Even if someone offers more for the land, you keep priority: never outbid, never pushed out. The renewal price holds no surprises: the calculation rule is written from signing, identical for everyone. It starts from the price you paid, adjusted by a public index — the official appraised value, revised every four years by the Treasury Department. No one can inflate it to push you out. And if you prefer to exit: THEVA Buy Back. If you, and you alone, choose not to renew, THEVA buys back your house at the official appraised value — the State's price, the same for everyone. A guaranteed exit: you are never stuck. Your villa also passes by inheritance, resells freely — and THEVA Financia can finance your buyer.

TOGETHER THEY FORM YOUR SECURITY
Every guarantee above is contractual. Written. Registered. Enforceable.
Every scenario — the model holds
You resell
Your rights are transferable, and THEVA Financia can finance your buyer.
You pass away
The superficies and the lease pass by inheritance. Your villa stays in the family.
THEVA Terra sells the land
Recorded on the Chanote, your rights bind the new owner. They survive.
The villa is damaged
The right of superficies does not lapse. You can rebuild.
The 30-year term arrives
Priority renewal, without limit. Otherwise, buy-back at the official appraised value.
The State reviews your file
Land 100% Thai, rights in your name, no false declaration. You pass with complete peace of mind.
Your villa shares a Chanote (depending on the project, some villas have their own private title, others share one)
Your rights are registered in your name, on your delineated portion. The same protection as a private title — and at resale, your buyer simply replaces your name on your portion; the others don't move.
Access, water and electricity
Servitudes registered on the project's common parcel, enforceable against all, surviving any resale.
Our standard — what you will never see at THEVA
If the Thai market is cleaning up, it is because the State is weeding out certain practices. At THEVA, they never existed. Knowing them will serve you — facing any developer.
NEVER
Never a nominee. Having Thais hold land on behalf of a foreigner is a criminal offence. At THEVA, the soil is held by a single genuinely Thai company, THEVA Terra — nothing to reclassify.
NEVER
Never pre-signed 90 years. 30+30+30 renewals signed in advance were ruled unenforceable by the Supreme Court (ruling 4655/2566). At THEVA, the renewal is real: priority, written into your contract, with no limit on cycles.
NEVER
Never land split across several companies. Some developers cut up a single project's land across several companies — sometimes nominees — to get around thresholds or hide the real buyer. At THEVA, it is the opposite: your project's land sits whole, in one dedicated 100% Thai company — its THEVA Terra, one per residence, with no other activity. A deliberately simple framework, and registered servitudes guaranteeing access and utilities.
And the Sap Ing Sith? We studied it seriously — and set it aside: impossible on a shared title, the building reverts to the owner at term, a recent right still poorly mastered and hard to finance. Our lease + superficies does better on all three points, and its only advantage — free transfer — is granted to you in advance in your contract. The full comparison is in the dossier.
Keep this list. It is your reading grid for the market.
