GuestForLife Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hi guys, anybody knows if the PR applications can still be presented for this year? On the website https://immigration.go.th/content/permanent_resident_in_the_kingdom they are still showing the window period for the year 2016...

ubonjoe Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The cabinet has not set the quotas and application dates for this year yet. They may get around to doing it sometime this month. In 2014 they did it late and accepted the applications in January of 2015. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 They have not accepted applications under 3.3.1 since 1999. You have to be working with a work permit and paying taxes for 3 years now and have at least an income of 50,000 baht. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go to Chaeng Wattana immigration and ask them for the latest requirements for applying based upon marriage and you will find that the list shows it can only be your income from working here. Until they redid the website last year there was a list of required documents for marriage dated 1999 that states if has to be your income. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryLH Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 If married, it might be easier to apply for citizenship instead of PR. Some of the same financial requirements though. Also much cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
