# Nine and a half hours. Then you are home, by the sea.

> Branded and premium residences in Phuket, from $150,000 — and a direct flight of about nine and a half hours from Sheremetyevo or Vnukovo. The home is looked after while you are in Moscow, by the project’s operator or a management company. The first call, twenty minutes, is in Russian.

- Direct: Aeroflot from Sheremetyevo, Azur air from Vnukovo
- Looked after while you are away: where a project has an operator — keys, rentals, reports
- 19,000+ properties in the catalogue, apartments to villas

## You do not need another property. You need a home that is looked after without you.

A residence on the Andaman Sea whose keys, rentals and reports are handled by an operator or a management company — and a direct flight from Moscow for the days you want it for yourself. The numbers come first, in writing, before any meeting.

## Keep your calendar. Add a coast.

Phuket is four hours ahead of Moscow and a little over nine hours away. Timetables show 9 h 20 min to 9 h 40 min in the air. Aeroflot has flown Moscow–Phuket since 29 December 2010 and carried over 885,000 passengers between Russia and Phuket in 2025; this winter Azur air adds Vnukovo, seven flights every 12 days from 4 November. Timetables change by season, so check the date before you book.

What a busy owner lacks is hours, not money, so the process is built to use as few as possible: a call of twenty minutes, a shortlist in writing the same day, a reservation made remotely where the project allows it, one viewing day when the shortlist is ready. After the purchase the work passes to us and to the operator.

If you spend a few weeks a year on the island, the usual answer is a residence under a hotel or developer name. Where a project has an operator, it looks after the unit, rents it if you choose and sends reports; where there is none, we arrange a management company. Terms differ by project. Income depends on occupancy and is guaranteed only where the contract expressly says so.

The lineup below runs from apartments at the start of the range to villas priced above a million US dollars. The questions are the same for each: the form of ownership, the payment route, the handover date, and who looks after it.

**Moscow to Phuket, in seven facts:** Sheremetyevo, Aeroflot, direct · 9 h 30, Vnukovo, Azur air · from 4 Nov, Azur air flights, winter 2026/27 · 7 per 12 days, Time difference with Phuket · +4 h, Aeroflot on this route since · 2010, Aeroflot, Russia–Phuket, 2025 · 885,000+, High season in Phuket November–April. Aeroflot figures: TASS, December 2025. Azur air: its press service, September 2026. Flight times: timetable aggregators. Timetables change by season.

## Built for people with no spare weekends

Six things a busy owner asks before anything else: the flight, the range, the life around it, the stay, the title and who runs the home.

- **Direct, about 9 h 30.** Aeroflot from Sheremetyevo; Azur air from Vnukovo this winter. Phuket is four hours ahead, so the first day is short and the second is already yours.
- **Mid-range to premium, every price on paper.** 290+ of the 380+ projects in our catalogue are on Phuket. This lineup runs from apartments at AYANA Heights, Peylaa and Surfhouse to villas by Banyan Group Residences, Banyan Tree and Ozone — each with a published price, a handover date and a payment plan we send in writing.
- **Clinics, a consulate, a season.** High season runs from November to April. Bangkok Hospital Phuket and a Russian consulate are on the island. For schools and clinics that suit your family we give names on the call, not on a page: we would rather check them against your child’s age and programme.
- **30 days visa-free, longer on a plan.** Since 15 September 2026 a Russian citizen may stay in Thailand for 30 days without a visa, extendable once. Longer: the DTV, for remote work for a foreign employer; the Long-Term Resident visa (US$1 million in assets and US$500,000 invested in Thailand, property included); Thailand Privilege. Buying a home does not itself give residence.
- **Freehold or lease, said plainly.** A condominium unit is yours freehold within the building’s 49% foreign quota. A villa stands on land a foreigner does not own: a registered lease of 30 years, renewable by contract, or a Thai company, which our lawyer explains in full before you decide. Talk of 99-year leases or a higher quota is a proposal, not law.
- **Run while you are away.** A managed residence stays maintained, rented if you choose, and reported on. How many weeks you use it yourself depends on the operator’s terms, which we bring to the call in writing. We give no promise of income.

A viewing day in Phuket comes once the shortlist is ready, and which parts of the purchase can be handled remotely we confirm per project.

- 20 minutes, at lunch or in the evening
- By video, in Russian
- In Phuket: a viewing day once the shortlist is ready
- Reservation without a trip — where the project allows it

## From a call to the keys, in four steps

1. **Twenty minutes.** A call in Russian at the hour you choose: purpose, budget, horizon.
2. **A shortlist in writing.** Three or four residences with prices, payment plans and the management terms — the same day.
3. **Look, or reserve remotely.** A viewing day on the island, or a remote reservation now and a visit when you have the time — where the project allows it.
4. **Route, title, management.** The lawyer reads the contract; the payment route is agreed with your bank and our lawyer before the reservation; the title is registered at the Land Office; the operator or management company takes over the keys and sends the reports.

## Vika Thai: a boutique Phuket agency, working since 2013

- **Straight from the developers.** We deal with the developers directly, without sub-agents, and show projects that are not on public listings.
- **The downsides first.** Our lawyer checks the contract, the title and the quota, and we say what is wrong with a project before we say what is right.
- **Present after the sale.** Management, rentals and reporting carry on while you are at work in Moscow.

- **12+ years** in the Phuket market: developers, prices, districts
- **500+ clients** supported from the first conversation to the handover of keys
- **19,000+ properties** on sale: 380+ projects, Phuket and the rest of Thailand
- **3% discount** instead of a commission: the fee is paid by the developer

## Questions we hear from Moscow

### How long is the flight from Moscow, and who flies?

About 9 h 30 min in the air; timetables show 9 h 20 min to 9 h 40 min. Aeroflot flies from Sheremetyevo, and this winter Azur air flies from Vnukovo, seven flights every 12 days from 4 November. Phuket time is four hours ahead of Moscow.

Timetables change by season, so we check your dates with you before you plan the trip.

### How is a condominium different from a villa on leased land?

A condominium unit is owned freehold in your name within the building’s 49% foreign quota. A foreigner cannot own land, so a villa sits on a registered lease of 30 years, renewable by contract, or belongs to a Thai company.

A condominium is simpler to set up; a villa gives you a separate house and a plot to use. We show both and say what each means for you.

### How do I transfer a large sum, and what will the bank ask?

The lineup starts at $150,000 — the developers’ prices in US dollars — and runs into the millions. The route is agreed with your bank and our lawyer before the reservation; we list in writing, in advance, the documents your bank and the Thai side will need.

We do not give currency advice and we do not promise a method. The schedule follows the build, and the balance falls due at handover.

### Must I report accounts and property in Russia?

Owning property abroad is lawful. The rule that matters in practice concerns foreign accounts: a Russian tax resident files an annual report by 1 June, with exemptions — for accounts in countries that exchange information, or in the EAEU, with turnover up to 600,000 RUB, and for those who spent more than 183 days abroad in the year.

How a Thai purchase and any future rental income are taxed on each side is a question for a tax adviser. We do not give tax advice.

### What do the LTR, Privilege and DTV give me, and are they for me?

The DTV is for remote work for a foreign employer: five years, stays of up to 180 days per entry. If your income comes from a company or business in Russia, do not count on the DTV; we will not promise it.

The Long-Term Resident visa (Wealthy Global Citizen) runs for 10 years and asks for US$1 million in assets and US$500,000 invested in Thailand, where property counts; the fee is 50,000 THB. Thailand Privilege is a paid membership from five years to twenty. Owning a home grants none of them by itself.

### Who looks after the home when I am away?

It depends on the project, and we say so before you reserve. In a project with an operator, the operator maintains the unit, rents it if you choose and reports to you. In others, we arrange a management company.

Each year you pay the building’s common-area fee, utilities and property taxes; their size depends on the property, and we give the figures per project in writing before you reserve.

### Which schools and clinics suit a family?

Bangkok Hospital Phuket and a Russian consulate are on the island. We did not find a Russian-curriculum school and do not promise one; on the call we describe international-school options once we know your child’s age and programme.

Tell us your child’s age and programme, and we bring names that fit.

### How am I protected against a late handover?

The sale contract names the handover date and the consequence of a delay; our lawyer reads that clause with you before the reservation. Payments follow the build, so the balance falls due at handover.

The dates on this page are the developers’ planned ones. For each building we confirm the current status in writing before you reserve.

### What does the 49% quota mean in a branded residence?

In a condominium foreigners may hold no more than 49% of the total saleable area, and a branded residence is no exception. Before you reserve, we ask the developer for written confirmation that free quota remains for your unit; the Land Office checks it again at registration.

If the quota is full, we say so before any money is paid, and our lawyer goes through the options.

### How can I see a project if I have no time to fly?

Start on video: a manager walks you through the building, the units and the surroundings, and shows the developer’s renderings, labelled as such. Which parts of the reservation, contract and registration can be done without a trip — in person, by power of attorney or remotely — we confirm in writing per project before you reserve.

When you do fly, a viewing day on the island is enough for a shortlist. Plan it around the Aeroflot or Azur air dates.
