PR application: This year's application window + interview requirements?

[cocoonclub]

Two questions about the PR application:

 

1. Has the application window been announced yet? I'm getting a bit nervous because it used to be Sep-Dec or Oct-Dec the last years with an announcement made some weeks before. We now have October and I haven't seen any announcement yet.
2. What are the questions they ask in the interview that is being held in Thai? I speak Thai quite well and don't really have much concerns after talking to friends who got their PR (including my ex-boss who speaks very broken Thai). Still I wanted to prepare for it.

 

Thanks!

Immigration has not posted a notice on their website yet. I think they may be accepting the application now.

I suggest you contact immigration at Chaeng Wattana about it

Unfortunately none of these are steps towards PR.

When my ex-boss and colleagues went there they took a portfolio of photos of all our CSR events with them. Handing food to orphans; planting trees; fixing kindergartens. 
 

I haven’t seen any such requirement but may do the same.

Ownership of a Thai company is not a requirement for PR. Being employed with a work permit and paying taxes for three consecutive years on the same extension of stay is. There is also a minimum salary level.

My secretary got similar info when she called. They told her it would usually open at the beginning of the month, so I can only guess that it should open next month unless there’s a big surprise and it’s completely different this year.

Any update on this?

 

Has it been announced when applications will be accepted this year?

I have not seen anything about it on the immigrations websites or their Facebook pages.
