Permanent Residency based on parent with permanent residency?

[chrisc38]

I can't find much information on this at all. one of my parents has permanent residency in Thailand and has one of those pink Thai ID cards, I keep reading it's possible now for his parents or children to apply now for permanent residency based on humanitarian reasons? But doesn't actually say what the actual requirements are based on this reason. Has anyone done this or anyone know what is needed to get it also?

From what i've read in other topics, it is theoretically possible to apply for various reasons, but practically they will only accept your application if you have worked in Thailand and paid taxes for at least three years.

I was thinking more on the lines of a humanitarian reasons for being able to stay here to be with him during his older years. I'd just like to know what the "Humanitarian reasons" qualifications would be.

The "pink ID cards" were given to a lot of foreigners until they found out that they're basically only for people from neighboring countries.

 

  I've never seen a pink Thai ID cards, could you please post one, of course with the name,etc covered.

He only got his last month, reason you probably never seen one is because they only give out up to 100 per country per year. It's not my card so no i can't take a photo of it. I think your talking about the white id cards which are given out to people who can't verify their nationality.

Pink ID cards are given to anyone who has proof of residency in Thailand, like yellow book. They are also given to anyone with PR if requesting one. They are also given to stateless people. They are NOT ID Cards. And the 100 limit per nationality per year is for PR application. Nothing to do with pink ID cards.

stateless people get a white one. The Pink ID card is given to those with who have successfully received permanent residency, only 100 people per year per country can get them so they are related. They are not ID cards? then why do you refer to them as Pink ID Cards?

Just to edit the above, the stateless people on the front is white but on the back in pink, permanent residents both sides are pink.

I dont know about white one for stateless people.. But you are WRONG when you talk like you do with 100 per country wrong! They are pink ID-cards, I have one, ALL of my friends have also got it, nothing at all strange....

The numbers typed on the card indicate whether you have permanent residency or not, so if you don't you'll have different numbers therefore they are not the same.

As i explained, the numbers on the card indicate what status you, so no not everyone can get a pink id card that indicates they have permanent residence and how that residence was obtained.

I should have said that many foreigners are entitled to get a pink ID card.

I have a yellow book and will get the card when I can be bothered to actually do it.

Will be soon though.

I also should have said the pink id card that also indicates permanent residency also but i assumed that was obvious since i'm trying to seek information about how to get permanent residency based on my parents permanent residency status.

[chrisc38]

Now that's cleared up if anyone has any insight on what's needed for me to get permanent residency based on a parent with permanent residency I'd be much appreciated.

How to decipher the Thai ID card number:

As said earlier - it is possible. Requires a lot of paperwork. All of it had to be officially translated to Thai and stamped by Thai MFA. It requires documents from both parent and child. Still requires Thai skills and interview and the lot from what I asked just now. It does not require work permit, work for extended period for same employer, specific salary. It's more complicated to apply, fits into same 100/nationality/year bucket, and you'd be far better off getting legal help on this one as there's no guide to follow from anyone who did this by him/herself.

I could speak read and write thai since i was 15 i know all about paperwork hell mate and my nationality limits are never filled each year. I"m really looking for information specific to my question (based on a parent with permanent residency). My parents application was 3 inches thick. Documents are not the problem, the problem is I don't know what specifics are required based on a parent with permanent residency. Hoping really someone who has done it (and failed or successful) that could provide me with more information. As for legal help, i contacted a few places and none had any experience what so ever in fact the same people my parent contacted when he did his application had never even applied for permanent residency for anyone in his circumstance either so they weren't any help.

[chrisc38]

I contacted immigration also and they ran me round in circles cause I couldn't get in contact with anyone who knew anything about the permanent residency application! You know how thai people are they won't say they don't know they'd rather say no you can't!
