I am currently a teacher in a government school earning 30k baht a month. I have been working for 3 years and want to apply for Permanent Residency. Do I have much chance of getting the PR with that salary? If it helps I am fluent in reading and speaking thai. Is there anything I could do to improve my application? I want to eventually leave my job and live off the land.

Very little if any chance since the rules state a salary of 80k baht income is required.

Thanks for your reply, 

I have read the Thai immigration site and there is something about being taxed for 100,000 baht income to meet the salary requirement. I have offshore assets from which I receive rent and a small online business. Would it be possible to be transferring money into my thai account and getting taxed on it. I don't know if it would fit into my work permit and so have avoided doing this. 

Not sure that the 100k baht still is still effective since the order it is in is dated 2003.

You can look at this list of required documents from 2015 that does not mention it.

The only way to know what will actually be required or accepted is to contact the PR section at Chaeng Wattana immigration.
