Hello everyone, got a question

[IonFlux]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this board and am glad I found it.

I would like to ask some questions regarding moving to Thailand as a PR. I went recently to BKK and have been to HKT as a tourist, but would like to further explore my options in Thailand as a PR/Citizen.

The following is more info about myself :

Nationality - Singaporean

Age - 32 this year

Qualifications - Degree in Graphic & Media Design

Work experience - Been working since 1998 as a an art director and web designer for a publishers' rep here in Singapore. Total number of years experience as an art director/web designer, about 6 years.

Can anyone offer advise or tips on moving up North?

TIA

In Thailand, getting PR status, or Thai Citizenship, is much more difficult than in Singapore.

In Singapore, with a job and the proper qualifications, and PR status is granted.

In the short time, you should find a job in Thailand, together with a Work Permit and Visa.

Requirement for WorkPermit:

Requirement for Visa (Non-Immigrant - Business)

Not sure how is the market for Web Designer in Thailand ...

Good Luck ...

PS:

You don't happen to have a Thai Wife ?

Thanks for the reply.

I know it's real easy to get citizenship in Singapore because they've made it a joke as far as immigration rules go.

I don't have a Thai wife(wife's Malaysian BTW) so I guess I'll go the job/business route.

Graphic Design is a tough market for many foreign firms in Thailand.

However, I know one that is hiring as they are the exception. E-mail me and I'll pass your name on to them.
