> Thailand luring investors
with long-term visas
According to Sean Barrett, Managing Director of Fine & Country
Thailand, the country is aiming to lure up to one million wealthy
residents by offering long-term visas to those who invest
between $250,000 and $500,000 in property or government
bonds. The visa scheme was unveiled by Prime Minister Prayuth
Chan-ocha’s cabinet in September and subject to legal changes,
will target affluent global citizens, wealthy pensioners, digital
nomads working remotely and skilled professionals.
To qualify for the 10-year visa, which includes family members,
the Thai Government said wealthy global citizens would have to
invest at least $500,000 in bonds or real estate and prove they
had a minimum income of $80,000 per year. Retirees will need to
invest at least $250,000 and earn a minimum of $40,000 a year.
The plan is to offer the measures for an initial five-year trial
period starting in 2022.

> Fine & Country expands
in the East Algarve
The acquisition of well-known Tavira estate agency Manor
Properties sees Fine & Country Tavira move to a prime city-centre
location. Manor Properties, an estate agency established in
2014, has been rebranded as a Fine & Country office, replacing
the company’s office in nearby Santa Luzia. Fine & Country
Tavira is managed by estate agents David Holder and
Emmanuelle Deschamps.
“This is an exciting development for our company,” said Holder.
“We launched Fine & Country Tavira in 2015 and our office on
the harbour front in Santa Luzia served us well, but we needed
to expand our operation and the opportunity to acquire Manor
Properties came at the perfect time for us, strengthening our
portfolio of properties and our brand with such a prime location.”
The office is just a few steps from Tavira’s famous Roman bridge
on the picturesque Praça Dr. António Padinha.
Fine & Country covers the Algarve with offices in Praia do
Carvoeiro, Almancil and Tavira. For more information

> Watch for Fine & Country
on A Place in the Sun
Christopher Hara, Managing Director of Fine & Country Costa Blanca
North, was recently interviewed by presenter Jean Johansson for an
episode of A Place in the Sun, due to be aired in the first quarter of 2022.
Chris took Jean and her crew to a fabulous Fine & Country property on
the market for 2,000,000€. The property is located in a highly soughtafter
area, renowned for its exclusive luxury properties and locally
known as “The Beverly Hills of Javea”.
The researchers for the show approached Chris for a coastal feature
property to use that was luxurious, but more Spanish and traditionally
Mediterranean, and, of course, had amazing views. They were so
impressed by the properties in the Fine & Country portfolio for Costa
Blanca North they said they will be coming back out to use another
property, so watch this space.
