# Non-stop from Istanbul. A second home on Phuket.

> Condominiums on the Andaman Sea, held in your own name, from $99,000 — with branded and mid-range projects above that. Twenty minutes on a video call with our experts, then a single viewing day on the island.

- Turkish Airlines, Istanbul to Phuket, non-stop
- Freehold condominium titles within the foreign quota
- 19,000+ properties on sale in our catalogue

## A second address does not have to be a second city. It can be an island with a flight home.

A flat by the sea, in your own name and priced in dollars — and a single flight from Istanbul when you want to use it. In the hotel-brand projects an operator can look after it between your visits.

## A second base, not a second life. Istanbul stays where it is.

Many families in Istanbul and across Türkiye already plan part of their future beyond a single city: a flat by the sea, a place for school holidays, a base for the winter. Phuket adds a different kind of place to that list — an island on the Andaman Sea, in another economy and on another weather calendar. Nothing here asks you to choose between places. It asks you to add one.

Turkish Airlines has flown Istanbul to Phuket non-stop since 2017. On the winter timetable that starts on 25 October the outbound flight takes 9 h 20 and the return a little over eleven hours. Phuket is four hours ahead of Istanbul, so you land in the morning with the whole day in front of you. Frequencies change by season; look at the airline’s timetable before you book.

What you buy is simple to describe: a condominium in a project with a named developer, a price published in US dollars (developers price in Thai baht, and we show the dollar figure at the day’s rate), a payment plan that follows construction, and a title registered at the Land Office within the building’s quota for foreign owners.

Most people meet Phuket as a holiday first. A week there says more than any brochure — which is why we plan a single viewing day, with a car at the airport, and do the rest by video.

**Istanbul to Phuket:** Istanbul about 9 h 20, Phuket to Istanbul about 11 h 05, Ankara via Istanbul about 9 h 20 +, İzmir via Istanbul about 9 h 20 +, Antalya via Istanbul about 9 h 20 +, Bodrum via Istanbul about 9 h 20 +, Trabzon via Istanbul about 9 h 20 +. Turkish Airlines non-stop, winter timetable from 25 October. Other cities connect through Istanbul: the time shown is the long flight, and the short one from your city comes on top. Schedules change by season — check before you book.

## A different sea, a different calendar, the same airline.

What a second home asks of the place it stands in: sun in your winter, a market open to foreign owners, schools and hospitals within reach, and a flight you can book yourself.

- **One airline, no connection.** Turkish Airlines links Istanbul and Phuket non-stop, and has done since 2017. You leave in the evening, land in the morning, and the west-coast beaches are a short drive from the airport.
- **Open to foreign buyers, every price published.** Our catalogue tracks the whole Thai market, and 290+ of its projects are on Phuket. In a Forbes Türkiye interview in July a Phuket developer put foreign buyers above 60% of the island’s sales.
- **Sun in your winter.** BISP and HeadStart are among the international schools on the island; each publishes its own fees and we send you the current ones. Ask us what each month looks like before you choose a season to visit.
- **Thirty days without a visa; longer stays have other routes.** Since 15 September 2026 Turkish passport holders can stay 30 days without a visa, with one extension possible at immigration. Longer stays run through the Destination Thailand Visa, the Long-Term Resident visa or Thailand Privilege membership. Buying a flat does not by itself give residence, and we say so before you decide.
- **Your name on the title deed.** In a condominium the title deed carries your name, so long as foreign owners together stay within the building’s 49% quota. A villa is held on a registered lease or through a Thai company. Thai banks do not usually lend to foreigners, so purchases run on the developer’s payment plan.
- **Looked after while you are in Istanbul.** In the hotel-brand projects the operator can rent, host and maintain the unit and report back; elsewhere we help you set up management. Income depends on occupancy and is not guaranteed unless the contract says so.

## A video call first. One day on the island when you are ready.

Twenty minutes is enough to begin: you tell us the budget, the purpose and the horizon, and we send back the projects that fit, with prices and payment plans. If you want to see Phuket, the viewing day is one day — a car at the airport, the shortlist in person, a flight home. The reservation, the contract and the title can then be handled remotely.

- 20 minutes, when it suits you
- A video call in English, from home or the office
- On the island: one viewing day, a car from the airport
- A written shortlist the same day

Or write to the manager directly: +66 65 406 0607 — [WhatsApp](https://wa.me/66654060607), [Telegram](https://t.me/VikaThai_Property)

## From the first call to the keys

1. **A short call.** Twenty minutes by video. You tell us what the home is for, what you plan to spend and over what period.
2. **The shortlist, in writing.** Units, prices, payment plans and, where there is one, the operator’s programme — for the projects that fit.
3. **See it, or reserve from home.** Come for one day on the island, or reserve online and look later.
4. **Contract, title, handover.** A lawyer on our side reads the contract before you sign; the title is then registered at the Land Office, and management can be arranged if you want it.

## Vika Thai — a Phuket agency, working since 2013

- **Straight to the developers.** No agents in between: we negotiate with the developers ourselves, and some projects reach us before they are advertised.
- **A legal check before any payment.** The strengths and the weak points of a property, said plainly, before you transfer anything.
- **Here after the contract.** Handover, management and rentals — the flat stays cared for while you are in Istanbul.

- **12+ years** of daily work with Phuket’s developers and their price lists
- **500+ clients** families and investors guided from the first call to the handover
- **19,000+ properties** on sale in 380+ projects, on Phuket and elsewhere in Thailand
- **3% discount** negotiated off the price instead of an agent’s commission; the developer pays our fee

## What Istanbul asks us

### Can I enter Thailand without a visa on a Turkish passport?

Yes, for a short visit. From 15 September 2026 the visa-free stay for Turkish passport holders is 30 days, and one extension of 30 days can be requested at immigration.

The rules change, so confirm them on the day you book. For longer stays see the answer on residence below.

### Can I hold a Phuket apartment in my own name as a foreigner?

Yes. The unit is yours as freehold, in your own name, as long as foreign owners together stay within the building’s 49% quota; the title deed is issued by the Land Office.

Villas and land are usually held through a registered long lease or a Thai company. The smallest units in our lineup start at $99,000.

### How do I send the money from Türkiye?

The purchase is paid by international transfer, in foreign currency, to the developer’s account. The receiving bank issues a Foreign Exchange Transaction form, which the Land Office asks for when a condominium is registered in a foreigner’s name.

Ask your own bank which documents it needs for a transfer abroad for a property purchase before you reserve. We prepare the Thai side: the payment schedule, the account details and the paperwork.

### Does buying give me residency?

No. A purchase on its own does not give a visa or the right to live in Thailand.

Longer stays have their own routes — the Destination Thailand Visa, the Long-Term Resident visa (asset tests apply) and Thailand Privilege membership. We outline them; for immigration advice you need an immigration lawyer.

### Do I have to declare it in Türkiye?

We are not tax advisers. As a general rule Turkish tax residents are taxed on income from anywhere in the world, so rent earned abroad is normally declared in Türkiye, and tax paid in Thailand can usually be credited.

Thailand taxes foreign income brought into the country by someone resident there for 180 days or more. Speak to a Turkish mali müşavir before you buy.

### How long is the flight from Istanbul?

Turkish Airlines flies non-stop. On the winter timetable from 25 October the outbound flight takes 9 h 20 and the return a little over eleven hours; the summer return was about ten.

Frequencies differ by season, so check the airline’s timetable. Phuket is four hours ahead of Istanbul.

### Can I take a mortgage?

Thai banks do not usually lend to foreigners for property, so most purchases are paid in cash or on the developer’s schedule, which ties payments to the stages of construction.

We set out each project’s schedule in writing.

### Are there international schools for my child?

Yes — BISP and HeadStart, for example. Each school sets its own fees and revises them every year.

We send the current figures for the schools you shortlist.

### How would I rent or resell the flat?

In the hotel-brand projects the operator can manage the letting under its programme and send you reports. Income depends on occupancy; it is not guaranteed unless the contract says so.

A freehold condominium can be resold to another buyer; how quickly depends on the project and the market. We tell you what each project’s terms say before you reserve.

### Can I buy before I visit?

Yes. You can reserve and sign the sale contract from home. When the building is finished the title is registered at the Land Office, with you present or through an attorney you appoint.

A viewing day is worth the trip, though, and we would plan it around your diary.
