I have multiple work permits for almost 15 years, at one time I had 5 work permits. This was under the old system of using one book, so I cant comment on the newer system of multiple books, but I never had an issue of adding a work permit with other work permits in force. I currently have 2 work permits in the same book.

Yes--Thailand keeps saying they need "quality" tourists........but here is what they get

There is a Facebook page for Krabi/Ao Nang locals -- you can get information there. It is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/565139926846401/

For all you TV armchair detectives--

I have known this guy for 40+ years. He had major surgery in the USA and traveled here for business before he should have--he needed more recuperation time. And he was still under medication. So the Thai police are correct in their final assessment that there was no foul play. Let the family be and stop your mindless conjectures.

If there is no title deed attached to this land, then it is most likely Tor Bor 5, which is for agricultural use only. The only documentation on these types of titles is a tax receipt for the annual land tax. You can not get a building permit, electric meter or a house book for a building on this land. The government has been a lot stricter of late enforcing these laws--but as you probably know it is not consistent. Given that all your neighbors are family, you probably won't have to worry about any complaints if you start building. But be aware, that any building on that property can technically be torn down for being illegal--so that may determine the amount you want to invest.

Centrepoint. Most bars dont bother with a webpage

You need to make the 30 year lease on the land, just having the house alone is not sufficient--if your wife died or she sold the land it would pass into other hands. You can have the house registered in your name and make a 30 year lease on the land and you will have access to the house for the entire 30 years. You can make a will on the house to give to your wife if you pre-decease her. Or you can make a 30 year leas on the land and house together.

The 500 baht payments have started upcountry and the troops are being readied.

One weeks notice and to prepare, I get the feeling that they are not really serious about accepting permanent residents and it is just a token gesture. The Thai olympics, On your marks, get set, oh sorry to late. Why not run a competition? In two (2) words or less explain in detail why you would like to be chosen to become a permanent resident of Thailand.

STATUS

You can work with a PR--in fact your process to obtain a work permit at the Labour Dept goes smoother.

I have been a Permanent Resident for 6 years. You must be able to read and speak Thai --besides all the documentation you must take a written test in Thai which asks questions like the colors of the flag and the King's birthday. Then you must tell your life story and introduce your family--all in Thai--which is videotaped. There are no guarantees--why would there be? Once you are in the Permanent Resident section only Thai is spoken, so you better be able to converse on a general level. In addition to the requirements listed in the official documentation--which is on various legal websites--they have a point system to give you points for your financial status, education levels, if you are a business owner--the size of your business and number of staff you employ, any recommendations or sponsorship by politicians/important people, any charity or volunteer work you have done, or any other qualification that you have that they would consider beneficial to Thailand.

As they say, if you don't like it............

No Thanks, a few years ago I looked into this, you get a small red book, and you STILL have to report to immigration every year!

Incorrect---you need to renew your red book every 5 years at the Police District. You're only interaction with Immigration is if you want to leave the country and get a Re-Entry Visa

I have been a Permanent Resident for 6 years now. You have to follow all the official procedures for documentation and then take a written test in Thai with simple questions like what are the colors of the flag etc and then an oral presentation by you in Thai which is videotaped describing your life and introduce your family etc. There is a point system, and in addition to the minimal filing requirements you get points for your financial status, sponsorship by political or well known people, work with charities or volunteer work, if you have a business, how many Thai staff you employ etc etc. They will only speak Thai with you at that section of Immigration, so if you can't read and speak Thai well don't even bother. The vast majority of the people are rejected, and it is a good soruce of income for them.
