15 minutes ago I received a call from a woman claiming to be from immigration. She said that I have been selected from a lucky draw (along with 99 other long term expats) to receive permanent residency in Thailand. She said my documents will me mailed to me shortly and I must countersign a few bits and send them back.

 

Shocked is an understatement! I'm sat here on my own with no furniture and this is the last thing I would think would ever happen to me.

Apparently this is a new thing they are starting to do on the 1st of April each year.

 

I am planning on having a drink later to celebrate.

 

Anyone else got the call??

  If you believe the Thai government is soliciting foreigners to become citizens I am wondering how many thousands of baht will they get from you before you realize it's a scam. 

@Liverpoolfan

 

Looks like you got the second prize.

 

The bloke that called me said that since I've made such an outstanding contribution to Thai society, I was getting full citizenship.  One of only 5 expats apparantly.1

You lucky beggar!

Nice one mate 

Yep, April fools to you too. 

They probably also know an African prince, who needs your bank account to move his funds out of the country.

Do you think the call I got to become an honorary DPM is a scam too???

I got that same call except they told me I was going to be installed as the new foreign citizenship director running the temples they will be installing to recognize the new religion of Foolism

OP, you should embrace this opportunity. IMO the offer has been made because you have already established beyond doubt you are football-mad and hate golf. I expect the offer comes with a condition - you will have to move to Buriram. I understand that is the Thai soul city of Liverpool.

They told me I am on the short list to be the next PM too.............So....

I have sent my suit to the cleaners, got rid of anything to do with smoking, plus my pint beer glass has gone into orbit and I bought a posh watch.

I am so excited..............................................

Wow, I hope Mrs. Trans can handle the fame and fortune that comes with being able to buy a million shoes like Imelda Marcos...

I was one of the other 4, but then I read the small text in the agreement, which required I needed to have 90% of my brain removed

And I received a call if I want to become the next health minister! 

 

They'll send all needed documents via express.

 

Then I'll see how dirty these Farang really are.
