Can’t Get a Bank Loan in Thailand? Here Are Alternative Financing Options

Struggling to get a mortgage in Thailand? Discover how MBK Guarantee and other alternative lenders help foreigners finance property without local income or residency.

When traditional routes don’t work: no local job, no spouse, no residency, foreign buyers still have smart options:

1. MBK Guarantee – The Foreigner’s Friend
MBK Guarantee offers property-backed loans for foreigners with minimal requirements, no work permit, and no Thai income needed.

  • Loan-to-value: up to 50% of property value

2. Private Loans & Creative Structures
Some law firms or private lenders offer tailored loans using Thai property as collateral. Be prepared for:

  • Higher interest and fees

  • Lower LTV ratios

  • Shorter terms
    Plus, legal tricks like renting through a Thai company or spouse can work, but consult a lawyer!

3. Offshore Financing (From Home Assets)
If you own assets overseas, consider:

  • Home equity loans in your home country

  • Private banking in hubs like Singapore or Hong Kong

  • Crypto-backed loans (advanced, volatile)

These options can free up capital without local Thai restrictions—but watch out for transfer regulations and FX risk.

Alternative financing in Thailand isn’t a replacement for all cases—but it’s often the lifeline foreign buyers need. Always talk to a property lawyer before signing with non-bank lenders.
