I find it ironic when officials say "our job is to bring them home" when the government should be focusing on providing opportunities for Thai citizens in Thailand

Useless thread 

The only thing I think of when hearing crackdown is

You need 3 full tax years (1 Jan to 31 Dec) to qualify for both citizenship (with a Thai spouse) and PR, assuming you make the other qualifications.  PR has a specific application time which is announced annually and usually runs till the year end but I think you can apply at the end of your third year and submit tax return in the New Year. Citizenship is open for application any time. So you can apply after submitting your tax return for the 3rd year.  So, if you keep working continuously you will make the the 3 year qualification end 2024. For more info on PR see the AN Camerata PR thread.

Thanks for the precise answer!

Yes but the registration for permanent residency / nationality is not at the same period than the 3 years working anniversary 

Hi all,

I have a question and I was wondering if you could help me. 

I have been employed and working in Thailand since 2015. I lost my job to COVID-19 and was in Thailand on a COVID-19 extension until I found a new job in April 2021. Am I eligible to apply for residency or nationality?

Best

I am getting notifications for articles like that.... can we improve a bit the quality of the highlights?

So basically the guy speaks Korean and there is one guy in this post who criticize Chinese people... Another EXPERT! 
Honestly speaking, in most post, there are people who come up with their hate of others. Chinese, Russian, Muslims. Guys, why don't you just make your jokes without insulting others?

So much efforts... Wonder why they don't catch all theses "digital content creators"

7/11 is owned by CP ALL.  CP ALL is owned by the Chearavanont family.  No connection with the current senate or the military, AFAIK.

With all respect, I think you are naive to think that CP doesn't have any connections with the government/military elites. CP controls whole swaths of the economy, even the environmental policy is impacted by CP

Thanks so much for the clear answers. Have a great day!

No.

 

If you are married, the threshold is 40,000 baht monthly and you will be assessed on that.

 

 

 

There is a point structure those married to Thai ladies -

 

40,000 thb to 50,000 thb = 15 points

50,001 to 60,000 = 20 points

60,001 to 70,000 = 25 points

 

The above is for Thai citizenship applications for those married to a Thai lady.

 

Hi,

May I know the point structure, for the salary part, please. When not married

Thanks in advance :)

Understood. Thanks so much

Once married (Thai Lady) you need to wait for 3 yrs from the date you get your Marriage Certificate,

 

1 year wait if have a child together

 

However, 3 yrs of tax payments still required (PND 91) Company balance sheets, company tax records etc.

 

If you do not wish to get married or marry your own nationality, then PR will be your choice ahead.

 

Do remember if unmarried the minimum salary you earn has to be THB 80,000/- a month, half if married to Thai.

 

Cost of PR = THB 200,000/- if unmarried or married to Non Thai

 

Cost of Thai citizenship = THB 5100/-

If married for 2 years, that means half 80,000 required for two years and 80,000 required for 1 year, correct?

Thanks so much! Straight to the point!

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am not (yet) married. Once married, is there a minimum additional years of marriage to be fulfilled?

Hi guys,

Hope you are all doing well. I am posting here a simple question.

I have been working here for 8+ years and I am in a few years 40 years old. There are 'only' ~ 3500 people of my country in Thailand. 

What would be the best advisable things to do.

Asking for PR or citizenship.

Thanks in advance :)

So you are telling me that everyone in the USA gets paid the same, gets the same number of days annual holiday, the same social benefits and has exactly the same contract of employment.

Yes, that I didn't know.

States in the US are part of the same country with the same passport, same currency, same official language, etc.

Countries in Europe don't even share the same labour law. Some countries in Europe don't even use the Euro currency.

It's easy to understand. Come on. You want to continue into comparison. I leave it here. Just go in Wikipedia it's free ????

Irrelevant,

Texans are citizens of the USA and spend USD

Germans are citizens of the of the European Union and spend Euro.

Canadians and Brits are out of it.

Well, in case you didn't know, each countries have different salaries, labour laws, holiday per year, social welfare, etc ...

A Iirish will get 2-3 times higher salary than a Portuguese.

A French will get much more holiday than a Belgian.

So basically, this 'survey' compares irrelevant economy system.

How can you compare someone who gets 950€ per month to someone who gets 2300€ and make an average of it. It's not rocket science. 

As for Germany, you can make your own deduction.
