Just been offered Thai Permanent Residence by phone. Anyone else get the call?

[WineOh]

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

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.

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

[Lacessit]

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..............................................

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

[Isaanbiker]

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.
