battersea Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I am here on an 1 year O visa obtained from the Thai Consul in UK. I have been doing this for 3 or so years since my divorce from a Thai national.In the divorce I obtained custody of my son who holds both UK and Thai citizenship.I would like to become a permanent resident.I have a monthly income from my UK company of 120,000 bht per month.Am I eligible as a parent of a Thai child to eventually applu for PR after 3 extensions...or do I have to work here also ?

HampiK Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I am awaiting further comments, but I guess as long you not paid TAX for working in Thailand there is no chance to obtain PR. For foreigner male it's not that easy to receive PR. For a foreigner woman it's much easier even to become Thai citizen when married to a Thai male.

You have to be working here with a work permit and paying taxes for 3 years to apply for permanent residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For being a family member of a Thai as far as i know the minimum salary for PR is still 50k baht. For others it is 80k baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All correct other than to state PR and citizenship are not the same thing...PR infers the legal right of abode only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
