The Riviera Malibu

Yes. New-development purchases in Pattaya are usually completed by power of attorney and bank transfer from abroad — personal presence at signing isn't required. We guide remote buyers of The Riviera Malibu through every step, from reserving a unit to registering the title at the Land Department.

At a new development like The Riviera Malibu, the Chanot — the title deed — is registered in your name only after construction is complete and the price is paid in full, not immediately at the sale as with a completed condo. Until then, your rights are protected by the sale and purchase agreement with the developer. As with completed buildings, a foreigner can register a unit as freehold if the building's foreign quota — up to 49% of floor area — hasn't been filled yet.

Registering the transaction at the Land Department involves a transfer fee, and if the unit is being sold for the first time by the developer, an additional specific business tax. How these costs split between the developer and buyer for The Riviera Malibu is set out in the sale and purchase agreement — confirm this with our team before reserving.

Yes, a foreign owner of a Thai condominium can freely rent out their unit — long-term or short-term — unless the building's own house rules restrict it. Check with our team whether The Riviera Malibu has its own short-term rental restrictions before making a decision.

The Riviera Malibu is being built by The Riviera Group. Before listing a project in our catalogue, we check the developer's construction permit, land rights, and financial standing — part of Apartwell's legal due diligence for every new development.

According to the developer, the construction timeline for The Riviera Malibu is 2023 - Q4 2026. Completion dates for new developments in Thailand can shift, so we recommend checking the current construction status with our team before reserving.

The Riviera Malibu has its own developer payment plan — full terms are in the “Payment Plan” section on this page. Most Pattaya new developments follow a similar structure: a reservation deposit, staged payments through construction, and the balance due at title transfer.
